What dogs hear

[rainstick]

i was wondering what was actually going on in all those frequency's we can't hear the other day... Dogs can hear up to around 55,000hz (i think)

So i was wondering - has anyone bothered (for whatever reason) making a mic that can detect up to those frequency's, ? And if we were to then pitch down the recording we could hear what the dogs hear, ?

Although it might just sound the same as all our other sounds once it's in our frequency range, im not sure what im expecting to be honest...

Same s#!+ an octave or 2 higher...

[rainstick]

yeh i kind of thought it might be the case.... its the ability to hear the sounds thats the trick not the sound itself.... i'd still quite like to hear a recording though for my own stupid curiosities!

Life's a bitch...

Meditate for hours on end picturing yourself as a dog.

When not meditating, act like a dog when ever possible.

You know, bark, drool, rollover, sniff everyones crotch, eat out of a bowl with no utensils, lick your own.....
.....you get the idea.

Do this everyday until your current life expires.

Maybe then you'll be reincarnated as a dog and then you will experience what you wish to experience.

Seriously, I'm pretty sure there are microphones that can pick up ultrasound. How else could they have recorded bat sonar?
Something tells me that this kind of equipment is not cheap though.

Found one pretty quickly:

Prices of complete kits (microphone + recorder) seem to vary from 1,900 to 5,000 €

...and just look at those sample rates!

sounds like an amon tobin record.



doesn't say how much it was pitched down.... bat's go up to about 100,000 though! nutters...

Indubitably, my good man:

Seriously

What?

You don't think I was being serious?







You can't hear what a dog hears unless you're a dog.

Just as I can't hear what you hear unless I am you.

ha, indeed im sure this may be true! (you can't see the same colour unless your me! etc.... )

i think what i was hoping for was - someone would say ' yeh i've got a mic that records up to 50,000 hz, here's a recording of something mundane recorded through that mic' and i could hear it.... Like a snare hit recorded through that mic, would it become white noise-ish when pitched down because of the frequency's coming in, ? ( would logic even process them...) although there's probably not much in a snare hit above 20,000..... i don't really know though, which is why i threw it out there...

that mouse recording's ace rev!

Yeah, pretty cool huh?

It works exactly the way you suspected; record with an ultrasonic mic, then slow down the recording.

They do the same with suns the other way around.

Yeah, I saw a Stockhausen concert once where recordings of pulsars were played between movements.

[rainstick]

im sure that concert was ace rev!

yes! sounds amazing too -



slightly off topic - anyone got any thought's on ' healing frequency's ' and the like... ? Im not really a believer in miracles or such but i am interested how we all vibrate / other things vibrate / possible harmony of our selves to our surroundings.... i mean, everything's kind of sound really if sound is vibrations and atoms vibrate etc etc...

i haven't really looked into this stuff though so i might be way off track...

If such a thing is possible, I'd wait for the scientists to do it, and not trust those moneygrubbing new-agers.

But, one little experiment you might enjoy - make long intonations with your voice at different pitches, from the lowest to the highest you can, and try to pay attention to your body and any parts of it that might respond.
