can someone explain how the numbers correspond to the words??? i dont get it! how did you come up with that?

No matching yet, the words are spoken on the audio files following the sounds of the dialing numbers on a telephone.

p.s., I added an explanation to the bottom of my last post, to clarify this

Yea, if you can't listen to the files it's not clear:

The sound files each contain 10 touch tones followed by the words spoken by a female voice.

So now the puzzle is what the tones/numbers have to do with the words.

Caught up on some sleep and I feel a lot better. Sorry for the unnecessary drama. Keeping calm and being rational is my new mantra. So it's not the dream job anymore. Eliza did a good job of talking me off the fence. I even managed to keep my cool after being asked to work on some survey Erik wants, right as I was heading out the door. Not that I was hired to do web forms. Breathe in, breathe out. I am just going to keep my head down and focus on the job. Just wanted to give an update and I'll keep the posts coming again. Thanks for all the support.

Nice tool:

http://www.dialabc.com/sound/detect/

Just uploaded file "One" and got this answer:
213 555 8148

So it seems to work, as it is the same you found Smile
Will try the other three, but feel free to upload your own sounds

The total value of the digits combined seems at a glance proportional to the length of the spoken message, but after looking more into it there's not a direct proportion, although it may aid to remember this in devising a solve. Until then I'll reserve myself to waiting for the person who has the brilliant idea to text message the numbers with the spoken message. Hint: good luck trying.

the "555"s clearly tell us these aren't meant to be real phone numbers.

okay, just to be sure, i looked up the are codes
213 = Los Angeles, California area code
617 = Massachusettes area
932 and 332 are non-existant area codes, so, yeah, these #s are fake, the question is, what are they used for, and how do they relate to the sentences given? These sentences remind me of a childhood code thing my friends use called the 'quick brown fox' code. But I dont remember how that was or even if this is applicable lol

Ehrm, did anyone noticed when the blog with sound files posted?

"Sunday, April 4, 2004" WTF? Shocked

Edit: The profile page says, that the blogger account of "Random Knowledge" is active since May 2008.

Not sure if it's much help, but Driftwood Beach is a real place apparently, in Georgia, and there's a Driftwood Beach Club in Florida

There is also a Driftwood Beach, Marin County, California Which might be more relevant.

Chinga, you can make the blog posts say they were posted whenever you want, the date given might be some kind of clue.


Cute though
