It's weird, after mucking around with shepard tones myself for a while, it just sounds like a warble alarm to me, not a continually rising or falling sound.
I got here from vsauce and yes I can spot the one tone going down and as one guy named SubParWaffle saiud it might be due to listening to too much music.
it goes whew whew whew but i can still hear when it changes and i tried i really tried not to notice it but i did notice it and now i stopped being interested in this crap anymore.
If you listen closely you can hear the tones repeating. You have to concentrate at least a little but you can hear it. Well, I can, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
yeah, I can hear the "loop" too, but I'm guessing that for someone who doesn't know his way with sound or how it's done, it would sound like an infinite rise in pitch. That illusion is good, but the ear seems more precise that the eye so it's harder to fool once the consciousness is on par unlike with the color illusions. Fascinating.
for the whole thing I was like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
@ethanPEC thats because it does. it goes down while another goes up and they keap meating each other. its actually going up and down at the same time. if you focus hard you can hear it both ways. kinda like that balerina that goes in right and left circles depending on the way you focuse.
Kinda creepy
