I saved it, and I have it on my machine, ran it through my anti-virus three times before even playing it.
I even slowed the play speed down using the Nullsoft Signal Processing Studio DSP plugin, and Justins Simple Pitch and Tempo script to check it out.
When it is slowed down to half speed, the sound is quite interesting.
It isn't as noticably loud, but it is a long rending rumble.
And they said they speed the recording up a bit.
I'm not a signal analyst, but the quake had neat characteristics since it ruptured 750 miles of faultline.
(Or so I read. What you're hearing in the recording if true is 750 miles worth of faultline moving.)
LOL! Glad you liked it. :-)
It's incredible to imagine the force of one of Earth's plates starting to slide under another of Earth's plates.
Good that you checked it out before saving it. I wonder what it would look like on a scope.
Oh I hope not Randall. I doubt they listen to anything that good.
Yes.
On the oscilloscope, the sine wave is weird, irregular.
Spectrum analyzer shows it being all roughly in the 60 hz and 170 hz area.
On a voiceprint, it has a speckled salmon appearance, but only when you drop the voiceprint from 500 bands down to 40.
I'm thinking on swapping the voiceprint colors to contrasting colors to see what that does, see if there is anything odd to see.
There is a weird line in the voiceprint, but that could be an artifact of mp3 compression.
I have seen such in my music.
Just redid the osciloscope eyeballing using a bigger screen resolution.
The irregular wave form described earlier was an artifact of the scope size.
The scope does this neat illusion of five wave forms superimposed on each other.
(Refresh rate of scope 80 frames per second)
All low frequency, and rather uniform.
I can have fun with this . . .
Uh oh.
Now I'm curious.
And also envisioning metamucil commercials for the sumatran fault..
BTTT
Check this out!
Played it for my hound dog. No reaction.
Now if it chirped like a squirrel...
"If you play it backwards, you hear Satan saying, "___________________". <--- (your joke here)"
'I never had sexual relations with that woman....'
Right. We are quite "puny" and insignificant next to the power of nature.
Yeah, I was there with about 4,000 Marines in 29 Palms, 8 miles from epicenter.. Struck at dawn.
It was like standing on a huge speaker; the sound came from everywhere as the earth groaned!
Incredibly loud.
Unfortunately a small girl was killed, but she was the only casualty as I can recall.
