[00:00] I found some of the best beatboxers in the world. Like this person that makes impossible sounds with their voice. Or this guy who beatboxed on America's Got Talent. But first, this is the lowest voice I've ever heard in beatboxing. This is what it sounds like to beatbox after inhaling sulfur hexafluoride.
[00:15] Sulfur hexafluoride? Which makes your voice very deep. What? What? This sounds like, like thrilling, like actual dubstep or something. What?
[00:36] What? Okay, we should try this sometime. This is insane. Whoa, that sounded like real life dubstep. That didn't even sound human. What the heck? I mean,
[00:53] I've been hearing them before, but not sulfur hexafluoride. That's insane. This guy has, like, the most famous sound on TikTok ever. Oh, no, oh, no. You have to have heard this before.
[01:12] Yo, he totally remixed this thing. What the... How did... How did he...
[01:26] How did he... How did he do that sound? What the heck? Well, that was a nice remix. I remember like three years ago, every single TikTok was using that sound. Okay, I'm gonna go.
[01:42] What? No! Oh my god, the bass, the bass is so good, and he's like, his chest is like going with
[02:00] the bass, this is sick. Bless you, bless you. That was one way to say bless you.
[02:15] He literally just came up on his friend and started making like a whole entire video game track out of him gurgling. That was pretty funny. Okay, the Zoon's a beatbox challenge.

[03:51] They also just came out with a ton of AI features that make music creating insane. You can use the app on desktop, iPhone, iPad, and more. What's really cool is you can actually distribute your music. So let's say you make a song, you can literally send it to Spotify, Apple Music, anything you want really, through the app.
