shepard tone

[sniperpj21]

If you skip around on the video it sounds like it picks up where you left off.

Fuck, the popping noise at the end of the video fucked up my soundsticks subwoofer.

[it8nky0u]

Idk if its just me but when I pause this video my speakers make a weird popping noise.

[Oshyrath]

At 0:41, it's a lower pitch than 0:47.

[nightcaller92]

it also can be endlessly rising

[jedihunter176]

Play these numbers in the exact order:

9 9 9 8 7 9 8 7 9

7 7 7 4 9 8 8 7 9

[fishcomputer33]

@jedihunter176 I knew what that was before I even did it. Just by looking at the numbers lol.

[Jaydaravenstar]

How do you make this tone?

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

damn, this makes me feel kinda nauseous...

[satansjalv]

is it just me that notice when it starts to loop ?..

[linkdeas3]

@satansjalv that's how it works.

[TylerLav118118]

I went numb when it started!!!!

[mullinizle13]

no its not.. i know how to create to tone using sine waves. there are numerous waves, each decending in pitch by 1 octive. each wave descends from one note down to the next, all except the highest and lowest frequencies.. this is made up for by simply gradually lowering the volume of the highest down to zero, while at the same time raising the volume of the lowest from zero so that any repetition in the pitching is masked.. this is used is nearly all house songs :) except its endlessly rising

@mullinizle13 Howard, Angus 2007. Acoustic and Psychoacoustics. Focal Press, London. pp.255: "This illusion [Shepard tone] produces the sensation of an endless scale which ascends in semitone steps." Of course this works in reverse also.

WoW!!!

[sophiamannherz]

it really is M.C.Escher like

[896748rhjbasgjjgankl]

@sophiamannherz you best be trolling

[aescandon33]

actually it ends at 1:11, haha.  In all seriousness gj.

[haircut74]

this one is alot less obvious than the others i've heard, so it actually sounds more like one continuously descending tone, but it doesn't have the disurbing quality that i've started to love in the others

[Deluxeta]

Just hear the treeblest part it's kinda repeating! :)

[Jo123Jo]

Err it's not just descending - it's ascending aswell.

See: Acoustics and Psychoacoustics. Howard and Angus, Focal Press.

[mrtyles]

do you have one that goes up forever?

[prismacolored]

play it backwards!
