Wow, looks like I'm quite late to this party. Caught up to all 14 pages and here's my take:

Due to the presence of static hiss, I assume that the sound file was recorded through a microphone.

End of file sounds like something sliding open and a rush of air into the mic. Maybe from an atmospheric pressure change. Underground?

I think that this is a recording of some sound external to the device, not in-line or whatever.


Could well be. If so, it supports the theory that these tones are a recording of responses from a keypad which unlocks/opens something.

I maintain my guess that eventually that sine wave graphic overlayed on the OS trailer will eventually hotlink to another page where we must enter a key code to gain access to new material, and that the code will be found by replicating this tone sequence. Or something like that.

Going back to the whole "Ohio" question..Wright-Patterson Air Force base was where Project Sign and Blue Book were originally set up. Supposedly, what was once in Area 51 was moved there and set up in a warehouse with very high level security clearance..

To my ears, the end of the tape sounds like someone hit the stop button on a tape recorder after it plays back the 8th tone and comes to a halt just as another 'sound' is starting. Im an old recording engineer and used to do a lot of tape splicing/editing by hand. This sounds like someone stops the tape recording just as something more was about to play. One could even imply that the last tone, which has a wiggle in the middle, was caused by someone touching the tape flange and causing a temporary speed bump ...

Either way, since we are listening to a tape playback, this is the sound that it most resembles to my ears..

Actually i clear the "noise" from the audio file, and still btw tones you have a metalic sound as background, this cannot be noise cuz noise is something constant and not variable, and this background have diferent lvls so i dont think all in the btw is noise.....

The whole problem with the audio file "puzzle" is the fact we don't know exactly WHAT we're supposed to be figuring out from it. We've been lead to IP addresses, phone numbers, musical notes, frequency numbers etc... But how will we know which is the one we're supposed to be looking for? Even if we do somehow manage to correctly 'solve' this puzzle, how will we know that we did it? The only way we could know for sure that we solved it is if it is related to the DEVICE? code.

Welcome to alternate reality games! It's nice to meet you..

I think theBruce is right...there's something else that will be given to us in a day or so..and it'll help..

THis happened once during the dark knight..we spent a few days on a clue only to be given the second half a few days later..

Just wanted to post some of that myself, you bet me. I did analog tape myself, too. And at first I thought, yes this is the usual "speed/pitch"-down syndrom when a tape isn't stopped aprubtly but roles out. But, after having listened to it some more times, I don't actually think so. It ruther sounds like something is going wrong on the digital part of the whole thing.
There is this white noise in the background and just before the end it sounds like a narrowing bandfilter would be applied to it. The actual role out after that takes just 0.6 seconds. If I remember correctly a tape used to role out longer if there was no good Stop-mechanism. Well, depends on what is "going on wrong here", off course.
Well, I wanted to point to the 8-Track cartridges. Stumbled upon them, didn't even know them, turns out the system was also called "Stereo 8" (I got intrigued).
And then I was linked to this http://www.8trackheaven.com/ufo.html and I had to laugh. Stil, I don't really think it's an actual tape recording. Recorded through mic+bad system without dolby because of all the white noise is a good theory, though, imo.

Edit: And another thing... I think it was Euchre who said he thinks this is a synthesized sound/synth playing... Thought so, too at first but after some googeling I learned that even 1968 synths were able to produce much better quality. On the other hand, when I listen to our file slowed down by 60% I somehow think it's a cats "miau" (meouw in english?) send through some 8 bit sampler or worse.

Thanks for the welcome, this is the first ARG I'm actually participating in. I was a lurker during Cloverfield's Slusho campaign and the Portal 2 announcement, though.

The Audio File.

My girl was using the frequencies listed in the Wiki as letters ...

600, 750, 600, 850, 550, 650, 650, 950 =

A , B , A , C , D , E , E , F

and solving a cryptogram got it to spell out ...

"AMARILLO"
"I FINALLY"
"RO REALLY"
"DID FLUUR"
"EVEN LOOK"
"AGAIN TTK"
"MOMENT TA"

What do you think? Think it's something?

And I'm stil on your side Spanky Smile.
Her try was intuitiv and a good effort. But even mediocre cryptography-systems aren't that easy Smile. Recently found one which encryptsd letters into a 2-d matrix of numbers. Guess there are even some that encrypt into 3-d matrixes (I actually think the CRC check on CDs works this way). It's really sick stuff Smile.

I've noticed a pattern in the numbers 25271339 (and sorry if this is completely wrong or offtopic)...

The combinations all revolve around the central "7". The two numbers (2+5) proceeding the "7" add to 7. The three numbers (1+3+3) following the "7" add to 7. The last number (9) less the first number (2) equals 7.

Is it possible that this is a numerical representation of the music in the corresponding "7" key? Or is this the first of many puzzles that may be a countdown, or possibly we'll get the code one number at a time? I don't know.
