Response is always the same, no matter what input we tried.
Spectogram of response after input 0-4000hz(i dont know why i am getting all those ovetones when making sopectrograms from input):
Same Spectogram of response after input made from file not via line in, so there are no overtones 0-1000 hz:

**UPDATE** INTERIOR TOP //
We got Bangkok DROP! (no pics yet)
Code:
[11:48] beerhungry lol web irc is not nice on this phone. anyway, just want to let you guys know I got the bangkok drop.
[11:48] beerhungry a dvd like they said in the forums
[11:49] beerhungry I'm not at home yet but will upload pics and contents asap when I get home
[11:51] beerhungry the cover says "collecting vintage capacitors, diodes and thyristors"
[11:51] beerhungry back of dvd looks like it has less than on gb of data written on it
[11:52] beerhungry there is a barcode on the back. can give the number now if anyone wants
[11:53] beerhungry sorry for typing slow. on my phone. number below barcode is: 9 780816 041954
We meet again number 9 780816 041954
(ISBN for First Ladies, that number turned out three times this week, Bar code on nadandos Global Response book, hidden in Bangkok song and here.)
<Arch_> All i could glean from that dial tone was a few values. which are most likely innacurate. This is repeated twice over but the voice breaks up the second playing. 01000000011100101010111011011110 as an entire 32bit binary value. 010000000111001 mantissa. Primary exponent of 0101 and additonal exponents of 011, 101, 101,11, 10. Probably completely useless information.
AND Arch_ is SOLVING THE MAOTHERFUCKING SCRAMLERS:
Code:
[2013-02-27 11:34:59] <Braco> http://otp22.referata.com/wiki/709_700_0122/Investigation#Scrambled_messages
[2013-02-27 11:35:41] <Arch_> Time to start waveform sifting then.
[2013-02-27 11:34:35] <Arch_> Okay, where are they
[2013-02-27 11:35:41] <Arch_> Time to start waveform sifting then.
[2013-02-27 11:36:27] <Arch_> ohohoh interesting.
[2013-02-27 11:38:04] <Arch_> Well i'm gonna have to figure this out by ear.
[2013-02-27 11:39:54] <Arch_> Well first thing to do is identify common patterns. I'm using audacity to filte them
[2013-02-27 11:40:20] <Arch_> I need to slow these down to hell first though
[2013-02-27 11:48:13] <Arch_> I'm getting somewhere actually
[2013-02-27 11:55:57] <Arch_> Voice is definitely female and definitely reciting numbers (in the one i'm testing with at least)
[2013-02-27 12:02:10] <Arch_> I have a theory and you won't like it
[2013-02-27 12:02:28] <Braco> whats the theory Arch_
[2013-02-27 12:03:05] <Arch_> That there's like. 3 numbers hidden in each of these messages, and 90% of the audio is literal gibberish
[2013-02-27 12:03:40] <Arch_> I might be able to back that up with some evidence in a minute
[2013-02-27 12:05:32] <Arch_> I can definitely hear a distinct "Two" in a different voice to the other
[2013-02-27 12:05:54] <Arch_> Much higher pitched and sounds synthesised
[2013-02-27 12:07:50] <Arch_> I'm going through each individual snippet of audio of about 1/4 to half a second and individually changing them
[2013-02-27 12:08:27] <Braco> interesting Arch_
[2013-02-27 12:08:41] <Arch_> gonna look at another file. i can only get a hazy six, a solid 2 and a hazy nine from this one,
2013-02-27 12:08:44] <HuoXue> What types of changes are you using, though?
[2013-02-27 12:09:30] <Arch_> Pitch, Amplitude, Reversing, Inverting channels, speed/tempo and equalization
[2013-02-27 12:50:01] <Arch_> Jesus christ guys
[2013-02-27 12:50:28] <Arch_> http://vocaroo.com/i/s0fIpEomkXvS
[2013-02-27 12:53:44] <blyind> you must bea genius or the PM
[2013-02-27 12:57:58] <Arch_> trimmed the garbled sections of all the dates ending in 4, layered them and used an inverted radio equalization of about 676hz on each. Lowered the pitch by about 40 and the speed by about 65. Merged and exported
[2013-02-27 13:00:56] <Arch_> I'm an aspiring programmer.
[2013-02-27 13:01:06] <Arch_> Audio is just neat and easy.
[2013-02-27 13:04:11] <Arch_> Another key factor. Length of recording
[2013-02-27 13:04:53] <Arch_> For the first one, sequentially incrementing in length
[2013-02-27 13:05:00] <Arch_> but leaving the start points in the same position
[2013-02-27 13:05:27] <Arch_> Gonna try with some of the later ones
[2013-02-27 13:06:25] <TonyInICT> SO I would assume that the people these messages are intended to be to have some kind of software that decodes these faster than what Arch_ can do
[2013-02-27 13:07:38] <Arch_> It'd require multiple audio channels, the ability to change pitches, reverse/inverse tracks and merge
[2013-02-27 13:07:52] <Arch_> its weird.
[2013-02-27 13:18:26] <Arch_> got another! managed to get it clearer than the last one too
[2013-02-27 13:18:45] <Arch_> http://vocaroo.com/i/s07av1Y4zslE
[2013-02-27 13:33:23] <Arch_> Getting the first one reuploaded.
[2013-02-27 13:33:38] <Arch_> http://vocaroo.com/i/s0m0LKwTMhEr
[17:41] Arch_ The scramblers i got to work by overlaying 4 different scrambled tracks at different pitch,speed and inversions (from the start and end beeps) plus an inverted radio equalization filter at about 676hz 2012-10-29 19-04, 2012-10-30 15-34, 2012-10-31 05-44,2012-11-02 14-44 provided the first set of numbers. 2012-11-03 17-56,2012-10-30 19-52,2012-10-30 15-37 and 2012-10-29 11-47 provided the second set.
[17:42] Arch_ I've tried three more sets since those ones worked
[17:42] Arch_ and got nothing of note
[17:43] Arch_ I don't know how the values for the scramblers are actually supposed to be figured out though. and i have no way of telling which sets actually contain data.
[17:43] Arch_ I don't know how the values for the scramblers are actually supposed to be figured out though. and i have no way of telling which sets actually contain data.
[17:43] Arch_ Date might be significant though
[17:44] Arch_ Oh and they should be merged in order of the length of the tracks in ascending order

In the latest decode, it says /NOTES/9780816041954/ -- 9780816041954 is the ISBN number for the book. Notification from Dr Blackweather because someone got the book?
SOLUTION 1st burst: /DROP/18094;NOTES/DVD/
probably we will get another drop, we need to call MD when he will be on to figure out what 18094 means, on agent system there is no message on that code yet http://dialer.otp22.com/
SOLUTION 2nd burst: /NOTES/9780816041954/
It is ISBN from PING book that is the same as ISBN of FIRST Ladies book from First drop in Maine Library.[/b]
SOLUTION 3rd burst: /NOTES/IMPORTANT[CR]NOTIFICATION FROM DR. J MARVIN BLACKWEA
FULL SOLUTION OF BANGKOK SONG:
Code:
/DROP/18094;NOTES/DVD/

Currently we are still trying to get bangkok song decoded.
If you want to make same spectrogram:
spectogram16 is easy to set up, and in PS i didnt do anything complicated
http://www.mediafire.com/?qgdio937na9hcdx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcBDSoVs42M
use spectogram16 to read data from file, then you can play with few settings and set spectogram to be longest possible width
than save the whole spectrogram
later i stretched the whole spectrogtam in PS and used shadow/highlight tool to rise contrasts a bit
Yesterday we made /x/ thread to get some help at recognizing symbols from the book, but there were no real discoveries. Fishtail -( might be moons crescent, and sun symbol could be compass rose.
Also some people from /x/ called 18029. There were few things happening with that number later.
At first one guy called it: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1DI2KpfsmPk and recording was same as in january.
/NOTE/IN TRANSIT FOR DEPLOYMENT IN REGION 9/NOTE/TRAVEL TO REGION 9/NOTE/NEXT UPDATE 250113/
Then it was siren, but we dont have recording.
Code:
[2013-02-26 13:02:48] <AgentSlow> i called the 303 309 0004 and used 18029
[2013-02-26 13:03:12] <AgentSlow> like i said earlier it was spouting off the numbers, and now its an alarm
[2013-02-26 13:12:15] <AgentSlow> i know right now its being an annoying siren that has awoken everyone in the house.
I have a friend who can pick up any drops near Chicago. Please PM me if one pops up, don't check this thread regularly.

Stamps issue:
Code:
<ArsenicLupin> So the jewelry is from Tucson and the shirts are from Hwaii
<ArsenicLupin> What's with the Christmas?
<Adah> i assume they're making fun of the FOREVER BEAUTIFUL thing again since the christmas stamps say "forever" on them
--------------------------------------------------------
We have been hinted that book is coming
--------------------------------------------------------
Code:
[2013-02-25 19:55:14] <nadando> message desk guy said that I would be receiving the pink book in a few days...
[00:16] nadando it might not have specifically been in reference to me
[00:16] nadando that was on skype
[00:17] nadando I asked him for pink
[00:21] nadando this was on skype a few days ago
[00:22] nadando and he responded "that's not a number, but you should be getting a pink book soon" or something like that
[00:24] Braco well least now we know pink was a book and not some secret agent intent on killing you nadando
It looks like real book
Book we received is done much more professionally that our book we made:http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=976514#976514
but both books contain blank page with "This page intentionally left blank" line
[2013-02-25 20:55:14] <crash_demons> "this system should be Message Desk." in a book. yeah okay. confirmed for ARG-printed
Funny relevant stamps:
<Adah> i assume they're making fun of the FOREVER BEAUTIFUL thing again since the christmas stamps say "forever" on them
Symbols
We have to identify them all.
I know only for flower of life which is very important and very old symbol.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_of_Life
I am also familiar with this sun symbol, but i dont remember where i saw it before.
