Um ...the sound the Wopper was making in War Games. ...Would you like to play a game?I dunno ...sounds like feedback of some sort.

Kind of sounds like a guitar or bass? Could be the humming of some huge power source?

This side of someone blowing across a glass bottle, the first 2 I have no idea about. The 3rd however, sounds like the exaust from a muscle car (I now have drifting images of Chargers and Baracudas running through my head).

the 1st 2 tend to remind me of a hum of some unrememberable herz value. i am somewhat stumped on the last.------------------

please feel free to ignore anything i happen to incoherently utter, because, yes, i am a pompus ass.

upon further consideration, judging on past ck posts, it's probably a practical application of some mathematical function. perhaps a sin wave of some sort.------------------

Heh, not sure what it is besides annoying. The first one crashed IE and locked up my system, WHILE STILL PLAYING THE SOUND FILE! So, in light of that occurrence, I quit.------------------
When everything is examined for what it really is, the only thing that I can truly claim as my own is the mistakes that I have made.

pretty close

Is it a power plant. You do nuclear shit don't you? So maybe a nuclear power plant of something. The last one sounds like a blast furnace of some type.This message has been edited by Der_Teufel on November 08, 2001 at 04:32 PM

you're getting warmer...it is nuclear  however, you are around 10 million kelvin off
Posted by Der_Teufel on Nov. 08 2001,00:36
Is it a nuclear fusion reactor? The only other thing I can think of that gets that hot are stars and I don't think you'd have a sound of a star.

Is this an actual temperature? Or just showing that I am really way off?

Here I'll just lump together some guesses, Partical accelerator (would be far off from a nuclear reactor, near 0 kelvin)
(somehow) some application of a fusion reactor
You having fun with some quartz bowls I don't know. ------------------

I was gonna say a particle accelerator, but they aren't nuclear. You're just colliding sutff (protons and antiprotons) to get other stuff (quarks). Just finished a section on Particle Physics in my Physics elective. Very interesting stuff.

Okay I'm gonna tell you the answer since you guys for some reason eliminated it as a possibility.The three sounds are different doppler shifts on the solar surface. Basically, that's what the sun would sound like, if you were able to hear it.
Posted by Der_Teufel on Nov. 08 2001,12:05
I was thinking about stars and the sun but I ruled it out cause I didn't think you'd have anything that would be a sound of either.
