to be hearing the da da, you MUST be looking at the guy's face. looking anywhere else is probably why you are still hearing ba ba

If you can't hear the difference between the audio with your eyes open / eyes closed, you are TRYING not to hear the difference.

It is there, but it is subtle.

I can assure you, you aren't "smarter" than the test..

I hear "ba ba" because that is what he is saying. If you hear "da da" then you are "doo-doomed"
