The weird part is that sand is how you dampen vibrations.

If you've ever done any CNC work or laser lithography You know how incredibly important it is to eliminate anything that could even vaguely be mistaken for a vibration. Completely in closing the work Bay to prevent airborne vibrations and filling the table with sand to eat all of the little ones coming or going.

It's not just Dune though, lots of stuff has this sensing vibrations through sand trope, and I think it is something to do with a meme picked up from desert spiders or a nature documentary or something like that.
