Anything pokes holes in that? "Well, I guess not completely vibration absorbent..." which works for your sound question just as well. | |

When Stark was giving his speech, it's ambiguous enough that he could have been talking about the properties of vibranium, pure, rather than of the shield specifically, and that impurities or deliberate additions for some desired quality made the shield, though made of vibranium, not as efficient and also that there are threshholds, it can absorb vibration completely... but only a certain amount at any one time, excess makes pings, gongs, etc. | |

| Nov 10, 2017 at 14:56 | comment | added | ASH-Aisyah | Perhaps, but then why specifically mention that it is completely vibration-absorbent? They could have just said it's super light and super strong, but the vibration absorption was highlighted... | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 14:48 | comment | added | Radhil | The same reason for certain movies you can hear explosions in space... because people expect an earth-shattering kaboom. | |
