About this listen
In basketball, no sound is more instantly recognizable than the crisp, ethereal audio of a perfect swish. But the swish wasn’t always part of the game. This episode explores the peculiar origin of the swish, why early hoops didn’t make the sound at all, and how audio engineers helped turn the sound of a ball hitting nothing but the net into basketball’s signature sound.
