Quiet_Hollow Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Listen. I know my ears can be tricked...like optical illusions of sort, but for the ears instead. Threshold shift, auditory masking, etc. etc. Well-funded research points to the fact that in certain instances our ears, and more notably our perception of sound, can down right deceive us. However..that does little to explain the mechanism of the memory of sound. I can remembers songs, voices, the sounds of animals. The sound of our very world, I'm locked in. All of it. Most I can't seem to forget. I can remember the sound. So here I sit on the fence, because I'm racking myself trying to figure how the hell I managed to establish this link. First I watched this relaxing somewhat clay-mation like video: https://vimeo.com/190063150 I mean, I really watched it....a couple times. Then it struck my ears. I've heard that sound in the background before. I couldn't put my finger directly on it, but I had confidence in the tones I was hearing. It sounded very similar to this familiar tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miZHa7ZC6Z0 I did a little more exploring, lead me to this clip which is the exact amount of time for the above video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNIfbdi41ho I haven't heard the startup sound in two decades, yet I was able to pick it out (stretched in-time by 23 fold) from out of no where. This happens all the time too. That's it in a nutshell. This is how my ears hear, and my mind thinks about it. I can't forget the pattern. Anyone else have these kind of experiences?

Coytee Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I don't have PC speakers so I have no clue. You do however, need to go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Very cool. Close but not the same. IMO. Your hearing memory would stand you in good stead if you were a caveman. I do believe musical memory is something of a survival trait. So no worries over getting trampled by a mastodon. Now me. I've always got at least one song stuck in my head almost everyday. However, most of the time I can't remember who sang it and certainly not the lyrics. So excuse me while I kiss this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet_Hollow Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yes, I should have gone to bed. At first glance of the video, even the other half was thinking, "Where's this going?" Meanwhile, I'm gushing about the audio. If we can't lean on one another here, we might as well sell all our gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
