rando Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I have no idea what happened in the formation of this new thread. After bumping something on my keyboard this opened in a new window fully formed? Since I'm on the hot seat.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/05/can-hear-pylons-thud-silent-gif-dubbed-optical-illusion-ears/ Link to comment
PeterSt Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I heard nothing. But my sound device is shut off. Does this matter ?

mansr Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It's a GIF. There is no sound. Apparently some people still hear something through the power of suggestion. Nice cable elevators, btw. Link to comment

NOMBEDES Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Well this explains the high resolution myth. We can all go back to our first generation DACs. We don't actually hear anything, we THINK we hear. Great news. Save big bucks.

rando Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 A similar effect is watching others movements while wearing headphones. They cannot, would not be moving in tune with your personal audio even if they were privy to it. Yet it can appear so. Link to comment
