About Barking Spiders

What exactly is a barking spider?

A barking spider is a mysterious arachnid known for its unique acoustic abilities. While rarely seen, they're often heard in quiet rooms, elevators, and during important meetings.

What does a barking spider sound like?

Barking spiders are known for their diverse acoustic range. Here are two common examples:

Quick Bark: A brief, sharp sound often heard when the spider is startled.

Silent Bark: A more subtle sound, typically heard in quiet environments.

Note: Volume warning - please adjust your speakers accordingly!

Why do they make that sound?

Scientists believe it's related to their diet, particularly after consuming certain foods. The sound is often described as a brief, unexpected acoustic emission.

Are they dangerous?

While not dangerous, they can cause significant social embarrassment. Our products are designed to help you manage these situations with dignity and humor.

How can I identify a barking spider?

You'll usually hear them before you see them. Common signs include unexpected sounds followed by awkward silences and people suddenly becoming very interested in their phones.

Spider Care Tips

How can I prevent spider incidents?

While complete prevention is difficult, we recommend avoiding trigger foods and always having a Sound Dampener nearby during important meetings.

Stay calm, maintain eye contact with no one, and if possible, blame it on the nearest pet or small child. Our "Blame the Spider" t-shirt can also help in these situations.
