What is musical sand? Musical sand on a beach or desert is a silica sand which makes a peculiar sound when it is moving. Because the sound is so lovely, it became known as musical sand. "Singing sand" on the beach is a small scale phenomenon and "booming sand" in the desert is a very large scale one, but the sounding mechanism and the quality of the sounds are essentially, the same. We will refer to both types as "musical sands."
