Do they not rattle? Or are you like me and just can't hear it?

Was crawling under a fence near Hardy Arkansas a few years back when my son urgently said "STOP"!
The fence had grown up in trees and there was a timber rattler buzzing for all he was worth about 2 feet from my head in the roots of a tree. I could see his tail blurring. My son could hear it from 12-15 feet away. I didn't hear it at all...
