Now that you mention it, Frost... I suddenly wondered if the oscilloscope image (recently added) was a cue of some sort? As in play the sound file when the wave image appears as if to sync the tones with the trailer.

Rather like starting "Dark Side of the Moon" on the third roar of the MGM Lion (it's a lion!!) when screening THE WIZARD OF OZ.

Trouble is the wave pattern lasts quite a long time for a precise cue, almost a second. That would leave a bit of variance in start times and throw off synchronization — almost a second could be nearly 24 frames difference in film terms. Just a thought.

I really think we can safely say the waveform display is just a buffering indicator, as it doesn't happen at all to many people, and happens at random intervals and durations to those that do see it.

The inversion of one channel of the audio and layering it into the other is a common noise cancellation method, as you commonly see in dual microphone Bluetooth earpieces. It's the simplest and most effective way to cancel background noise when you treat audio as a stereo source. If this were true RF noise, it'd basically be mono. The fact there's a difference in stereo channels is a bit telling - this would have to have been recorded as real audio and not generated from a mono waveform. You don't commonly see stereo audio broadcasts for anything but music. If such a radio broadcast were of alien origin, chances are there would be an intentional embedding of more information in the signal ala Contact.

The fact that our audio here is stereo and that the noise is common between channels suggests that either it's meant to reveal more data, or it's an accidental result of the completely synthetic generation of the audio for this project. Basically if they created the track without consideration of the stereo nature it has, they may have 'doped in' the static as you see here, identical in each channel. This seems likely to me. If there is anything meant to be encoded (whether in an IG, 'aliens did it' sense or 'PMs did it' sense), it's probably purely in the differentiated info of the stereo tracks only - the tones.

I did another version of this noise cancellation in Audacity, which tends to mute the audio just a bit. I followed the cancellation with normalization and a volume boost to make it about as loud (if not a touch louder) than the original.

Posting the spectrogram waveform analysis again that I did a while back



Yes, we are already pretty confident that the waveform represents the golden ratio. I'm not sold on the significance of musical notation, I believe this is more about the pattern than specific frequencies and values. I also don't believe we have a use for this yet, insomuch as a way to keep people occupied for a while =P
