I'd rather hear creaking than cracking. Sway is a part of their design, provided the design *and construction* is properly executed. I'd be much more worried if it didn't move, but instead heard popping sounds and felt the floor rumble.

Exactly the same sound at 601 Lexington in NYC, during Friday's windy downpour/sleet. You could feel your feet wobbling a bit the whole day. The sound is actually from the metal studs shifting against the iron beams. In some places you could hear the creaking directly coming from a junction in the beams. And this building is decades old.

Yeah no thanks. Swaying a little in the wind is one thing, I understand that what skyscrapers are designed to do. This is something else. This much movement in a lower floor is pretty concerning. Especially considering the building is still pretty new. The Burj Khalifa is designed to sway almost 5 feet at the top but damn, I wouldn’t hang around long.
taller the build, the greater the torque through the top of the building, downward. the micro stress fractures that result over time on the concrete will be something to watch for.
Scary stuff, I would have moved the next day!! lol. But, really, I wouldn't be able to live up that high in the first place. Blessings and safety to all who do.
I've always believed that tall buildings are built that way in order to get as much as possible within the building's footprint. What I would like to see is a huge space scraper built that has the same amount of square feet directly below the above-ground building. A "mirror" of itself directly below it, doubling its floor space on the same sized piece of real-estate.
That's pretty much what the original Twin Towers were. Nearly 10 million sq ft. of office space. The Freedom Tower starts to taper off almost at ground level cutting this in half. Well only one tower of course at 3.5 million sq ft. That's a lot of space lost in the new design. But it was also one of the main reasons so many lives were lost trapped above the impact zones. RIP...
I do not know, but in order for people to inhabit the structure and for the structure to remain upright, I would think it has to have some form of a dampening device. I'll research it and see if I am wrong, I'll be back. Okay, I'm back. I was wrong. The external shape of the structure is supposed to make mass dampeners unnecessary.
That's crazy. I understand it was meant to sway, but you think they would've developed some way of keeping down the acoustics/sound of the swaying, getting rid of the creaking as much as possible. Maybe they did, but that is pretty damn loud.
They definitely did for newer ones that are done properly. The burj is kind of ass. I live in the Wabash building in Chicago, which is a Roosevelt University building, and it's a 31-story skyscraper, I believe. It's interesting because it's very thin and flat and curvy, so it's reaction to wind isn't bad, and the worst I've heard is the equivalent to what you hear in a normal house.
@@tortellinifettuccineyou can't compare a mere 31-story building to the tallest skyscraper in the world. Even if it's thin, 31-story is nothing. Very likely it wasn't even categorized as a skyscraper.

I love skyscrapers, been fascinated with them all my life, I'm in Toronto so we don't have the amazing heights you do in Dubai, but I have been in the CN Tower Skypod, the highest observation deck in North America, during 100km/h winds. I had to leave, I got sea sick! That bloody tower rocks like you wouldn't believe! Hard to believe a concrete structure that old and tall, doesn't snap with a 5 foot sway either way. I've never been back there since, yet I see it from my balcony every day (I'm only on the 29th floor, quite low even by Toronto standards). No way I could live with that, but cheers to you guys, it's a gorgeous tower to live in, which I'd love to visit one day!
The swaying, while creepy, is actually what prevents the building from collapsing. If it did not sway in the wind, it would topple. By the way, all tall skyscrapers sway, they just don't usually make this noise. You cannot feel it sway.
I wonder what would happen if one of the beams actually broke. Once they find out would they have everybody evacuate? Would one beam snap lead to many other beam snaps? Also if it collapsed would it collapse on itself or would it fall over on its side? Super scary man.

The structural design of Burj s such that there wont be a big sway as in the case f a square skyscraper.. Vortices formed around the building cannot exert identical pressure on the sidewalls resulting in breaking down of the harmonic resonance that could have generated had the building been a square structure!!!
A lot of plaster, gypsum, plates, pins, screws, hinges, lockers, doors, windows, cabinets, etc, the last thing susceptible to make noise is the structure of a building like that...
Burj khalifa does not have any dampers whatsoever, it tames the wind with the shape that it was given. It is normal to have swaying like this on any tall building, what usually cracks or makes any noise are non structural components. Nonetheless, it can be annoying for sure

No its not lmao every high rise building does this one time or another, its designed to prevent high winds, if they didnt design it they way they did THEN it would collapse, this is what good engineering is
Its made of reinforced concrete. Lol cheap to build, but quickly deteriorates over time. Doesn’t sound very structurally sufficient to have a 150+ story building made of concrete swaying in the wind day to day. Im no engineer but rocks don’t bend very well under stress, they just sort of crack then break!
To the people comparing the building to American skyscrapers, Yes it's a similar experience. The building was design and built by an American firm to American standards. Same experience
It’s just the sound of steel beams bending. You want to live high in the sky this is the price. Concrete makes no noise when it’s windy, but it cracks😊
This is the kind of sound when you are on the lower floor of Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The rattling sound during windy days seemed to travel from upper floors to downstairs.
This would terrify me, I have a phobia of being indoors what should be a secure structure and it moving and swaying, I have that same feeling on cruise ships.
I cant believe it rained. Dubai? What rains like once every five years? That cracking is from the swaying messin up the mosaic glass tiles they have in restrooms.
