Sounds like:

Help me. Please. Someone try and get me out of here.

To me, the last word sounds like "you" and possibly before that "without". So maybe ..."Help me, please (blah blah blah blah blah) without you" ?

OK, it played once, and then suddenly stopped, so I hit play again on Media Player, and um, it started playing "I'm Bugged," by XTC.

Stop that, Universe.

I've been playing with the bees1.wav file for a while now in the open source program "audacity" and "wavesurfer". I'm pretty sure there is a computer altered voice hidden behind the bee sounds, but most of it is pretty garbled. From what I have done, I think it says" Hello, my name is... " and then it's too garbled. I've just been running it through at normal speed start to end, just trying to remove noise, and change pitch, but I'm not an audio engineer, so there's only so much I can do. Somebody with real software and knowhow should be able to make out much more. It does seem to be 2 phrases though, the name and then possibly a warning?

The last second in Midian's version sounds much like the first second... either "Hello" or "Help" depending on whom you believe.

So far we have

"Help me. Please. Get me out of here"

and

"Hello my name is (something) hello"

**assuming** we're not barking up the wrong tree. Has anyone tried listening to **actual** bee sounds to see if they sound like this? Rolling Eyes

I was thinking the same thing. It's difficult to know what's really noise and what isn't, which makes filtering the noise out very difficult.

I looked around on Google for 'bees1.wav' and got two references - here and on a University of Texas. Unfortunatley, the site does not actually have the 'bees1.wav' file, it's simply iinstructions on setting up a series of sound files for an composed work (?).

The specific refernce is:

yeah, a simple md5 run on the originals and currents would tell us if anything's been changed

Well, I believe I've found the original sound file. It, like the bees1.wav is mp3 encoded. It is located at http://www.christiananswers.net/kids/audio/bee.mp3. You can compare the two files in something like goldwave and see that they are extremly similar (and audibly similar). Obviously more has been done to the flie other than simply adding the computery sound/voice to the background. It appears to have been bandpassed at some threshold. Anyway having this file might help those who are in the know.
