  • Apart from being a noise that species of animal such as dogs and bears exhibit, growling is a technique employed by people in certain genres of the rock music industry, and normally found in the genre known as heavy metal. Growling originated because some college kids in a garage during the 1970s were experimenting with their voices to see if they could make scary, inhuman sounds that would go well with their bad guitar playing and produce a truly terrifying overall sound that would strike fear into the hearts of their Elvis loving parents. They were sick of common punk that was around at the time and decided that its popularity proved that it just wasn't quite rebellious enough. This experimentation led to the discovery that a combination of shouting, burping and generally mangling their vocal chords produced an effect that sounded like something that had been vomited straight out of hell; and not only did it have the desired effect to shock, but it required no musical talent or ability to sing whatsoever. Not only that, but this growling allowed them to reach ridiculously low notes (the ones below the lines on the bass clef) which nobody apart from very manly men with bass (voice)s could reach. Therefore growling had the instant effect of making them appear manlier.
