    I don't actually hear it keep rising. I hear the tones reset instead.

    Am I a freak of nature? I have always caught the restart of the note rises, the trick still persists but I here the change of octaves .

    Just heard about shepherd tones and thought VSAUCE NEEDS THIS. Should've known he'd already gotten to it.
