 Posted: Dec Mon 04, 2006 1:42 pm Post subject: Ok & Heartbeats |
 |
|
I'm just posting this ASSP to show an anomalous sound can be just as worthy of our time as anomalous voices. I still agree w you - Frank & Aed - that most recorded sounds are likely just "regular" noises, however.
This was captured at a mausoleum w/my partner. It was quiet except for a small, nearby fountain. That is the background noise you'll hear.
Me: If anybody has anything to say, please by all means.
Voice: Ok
ASSP: [Twin set of heartbeats]

I'm sure other ppl have collected more compelling captures than this, as far as legitimizing sound captures. |

My guess would be that something bumped the mic....

| Interesting impression. Thanks. But when slowed down, the sound is more specialized. I'll try and fetch that version of it now ... You're also free to tweek it yourself if you want (slow it down to hear what I'm saying). |

These versions, both slowed down, show there's a more complex rhythm than the accidental knocking against the mic would suggest.
Oh by the way, my style of holding the recorder is to hold it securely in one hand w/out moving any part of my body or the recorder, as I record.
The rooms in this mausoleum are pretty spacious and knowing I was standing in the center of the area I recorded in, there wouldn't have been any cause for me to bump up against anything. Especially in such a way that would caused the well-mimicked nuances of cardio-rhythms you can hear when the thing is slowed down.

I did download it.... In musical terms, the "thumps" you are hearing are triplets (thump-thump-thump). Heartbeats would be considered dotted half notes, in musical terms (thump (slight rest)-thump) - The heart squeezing and releasing.
Obviously something caused the thumping noise, but it just doesn't have the rhythmic time signature of a heartbeat. Unless there was a spirit spirit present, who died from an irregular heartbeat condition.... lol (j/k)
A lot of things can cause noises like that, especially when you are carrying your recorder - Wind or breath blowing across the mic, your clothes rubbing on the mic, changing your grip on the recorder/mic, bumping the mic, etc, etc, etc. On the other hand, several things could have even caused a noise like that in or even outside of the mausoleum itself. It could literally be anything....

Nope. Disagree. The area was highly controlled for noise. The mausoleum is in an area far from most sources of ambient noise. And your logic doesn't rule out the sound of heartbeats. It still has a rhythm strongly suggestive of heartbeats.
The volume of the ASSP, relative to my voice and the stream showed up quite high (in audio program). This strengthens the theoretical argument that the sound was placed inside, rather than outside, the room.
The sounds which are strongly suggestive of heartbeats, closely followed the one and only EVP captured that day amongst hours of recordings. The context of a strongly voiced answer preceding the heartbeats makes this highly unlikely this was not an ASSP. |

Sorry, maybe I don't have the musical ear or anything but all I hear after OMS's voice, is the EVP and then all I hear is a fountain and an electronic buzzing. I don't hear the heartbeat. If you are talking about the plopping sound. The....plop...plop...plop, plop, plop! Then I don't think it is a heartbeat.

Lol! Thanks for your opinion Frank. I still agree there are xs when sounds are just as relevant as voices.
Anyway, your opinion and Aed's have been duly noted. It's a couple more responses to add to my list of responses to this one  |

Don't put a high rating on my opinion, I do have a hearing problem.

| You think it's from the music thing and/or listening to EVPs?? Well it's probably none of my business am just curious is all. Sometimes I wonder how listening to all these sounds&voices may be affecting hearing (and at what rate, etc.) |

Nope! Gunfire, recoiless rifles, tanks, standing too close to a bradley, artillary, shoulder fired rocket launchers, explosives in general...you name it, except for music. I never over-did it when it came to music.
Now, I have permanent ringing in my ears and can't hear the higher end of the speech related frequency spectrum.

Both, less of a chance in training since you wear hearing protection but it doesn't help with artillary and tanks. Still hurts when they go off!
