The main plot could have something to do with Net Neutrality. Although I could just shooting in the dark here.

Ok then for all those who like me are cheap and cant afford to phone the states, I found a combination of 3 programmes, forum trawling and a little help from Rance allowed me to get a nice recording! Enjoy. Laughing

Ok well at 1.07 secs into this file there is a strange blip, zooming in and changing the pitch gives a strange sound but cant work out what it is yet. Have attached it though.

part 2 sounds like a backwards sonar ping. Maybe you need to use ping on a server or something. GJ rus.

If you load part 2 into audio software its wavelengths look very uniform with a few rough patches at the beggining and end.

Anyone notice the similarities in the phone dialog?

Didn't the technologic page say to analyse the noise....I still don't know how to determine the password from a simple waveform beep....already tried sonar and ping. It still sounds to me like sonar if you shrink the play time down. Maybe submarine.

Hey folks! I was interested in the Urban Hunt ARG a while back, then kinda wandered off... now I'm back, because this looks interesting.

What strikes me as odd though is the phrasing on the technologic page. "The normal number". Most people would say "The usual number'. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with things. (Normalizing the audio or something? But I dunno if that makes any sense!)

Ok in case you dont have a good sound manipulation programme here is the sound wave. Its at 3 dif speeds, so i dont think we would be able to determine anything from the distance between the peaks and troughs, but it could be the peaks and troughs themselves that are the code.

Alternatively it could be that there is a particular thing or function that would cause this kind of wave. Its been about 10 years since I did physics and I sucked at it, throwing it out there for those that can Laughing

OK, how about taking it even more literal.

It says "analyze the noise." Maybe we have to analyze the WORDS "The Noise" and somehow find it from there.

Okay, so following up on the Normal Number thing I said, I went to google and searched for "normal number" and "noise analysis" and got pages like this:

I bite at mathmatical things. Anyone able to determine if this could help?
