People do mention Veritasium, though he doesn't give any significant explanation of the phenomenon.

I still wonder about 47. In Veritasium plots, all these numbers provide a peak, but not 47. I recall from my childhood that I indeed used to notice that number everywhere, but idk why.

47 does provide a peak in the plots though? All the numbers ending in 7 do.

See my link for 47. Its Wikipedia has more context. If you’re a Star Trek fan, you’ve seen it a ton.
