If anyone is interested, this is where it all came from. Great idea, but unfortunately, the politically correct brigade has been successful in getting it removed because having it directed at a specific group of people infringes their human rights. So I guess their right to intimidate and harass is far greater and more important that mine to go about my daily business unmolested :-/

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

It's kinda funny... If you play the whole thing, it's painfull in the beginning, but your ear seems to adjust... after a while it doesn't sound that toruturing anymore, but when the sound stops, you feel like a pressure fall in you ears... sound... still a mysterious thing isn't it?   :)

I think there's muscles in you ear that tighten and relax your eardrum when you are subjected to loud noises for long periods of time, so you don't damage your eardrums.  It's why you can't hear anything after a loud concert or something.  Thank you Physics 202. ;D

Even if this worked, I wouldn't want it as a ring tone. It would be much more fun of you could have the mythical "brown note" as a ring tone. ;D

There's no way that's 48kHz...
Sorry, that's my analytic bandwith.


...even the youngest ears cannot interpret anything above 20kHz.
That's assuming they don't interpret anything below 20khz ;D -- but that's not true. The average starts @18khz to 20khz but up to 28khz has been known; the question is whether it's actually being heard or felt.


I'm guessing it's around 18 kHz, and I'm pretty surprised I could hear it!!
There's actually more than one peak point:
Below 2khz (into just dbbl digits, extremely low) may just be equipment hash
There is a peak at @ 3khz, peaking near -55db
Another small one @ 8khz, peaking near -62db
The main one at @ 14khz, peaking @ 10db; starts its rise @ 12.5khz and drops out @ 16.5khz or so

Personally I think the best ring tone to have that no one would think twice about it being a phone would be a ring tone that sounds like a fart ;D ;D ;D ;D

Think about it after hearing it they won't stick around ,lmao.


ppffffffttttttttttt......

"it wasn't me! it wsa my phone"
