Thread: Sound of stropping

Another possibility is that the material of the strop has a directional texture which sounds different for each direction.

hmm - so are you saying that if you concentrate you can actually get it to sound the same in both directions? I figured that the direction of the hollow would influence how it sounds...

The last possibility is it could be natural acoustics. To test go very slow with even pressure both ways. If it sounds the same it is probably a problem when you speed up. If you hear a difference it is probably sound reverberating differently on going and coming back.
