Nintendo Maniac 64 Not dead, just a lurker	Can you hear this high-pitched sound? « on: April 21, 2007, 11:18:57 pm »
ニンテンドーマニアック64 Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 590	I noticed last night during a commercial for a recorded TV show that there was a very high-pitched sound at one point... Oddly enough, I was the only one that could hear it! I recorded the sound to my PC and posted it here to find out if I'm just a freak or if my hearing is that good, which would explain why I always put audio at high bit-rates.

Its really annoying though as there are a bunch of them around my college (http://www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/teenage_control_products.html) Logged

I can also hear a distinct sound when a device with a screen is turned on. « Last Edit: April 22, 2007, 12:35:29 am by Bboy94 » Logged

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 2471	Its not, its due to electric things running nearby. Turned out in science class someone had turned on the motor for this car we were building. Also its very similar to the tv sound. I apparently can hear the sound made by electricity moving. But there isn't anything wrong with me. You can be sure. Logged

Its crazy. But it is perfectly possible, sound is air being bumped by something bumping into air bumping into air until it evenrually reaches your ear. And electricity does bump into air. Its nuts I know, but I don't find any other explanation for it. And I don't have tinnitus.

I listened to it on a computer a few years old and it was faint. But I think with going crazy about high pitched frequency noises im the worst. In my uncles house he has a bunch of mice in the attic. So he put up a mouse trap that squeals and clicks "so loud humans cant hear it!" and mice supposedly run away from it. I found it irritatingly click from across the room. When I got closer I was pretty much going crazy and holding my ears down. o.o
