Nice people thread part 7 - a thread in its prime

Dunno about food allergies, but since I started the new job I've had terrible non-stop issues .... huge boatedness, wind and uncomfotableness..... maybe I've been over-chipping and had midget gem overload.

I can only hear the first 3 on there.

I can only hear first three too.

I will try to orrow too.

But...

How good is your ears? Seriously? How good ARE your ears, surely?

High frequency perception is interesting.

I have a test record which explores this for the hifi, and a cartridge which is only 3db down from 20KHz to 29KHz. As cartridges go it's fairly wideband.

You can certainly tell when high frequencies are missing. It's like a presence has been removed from a recording. People note things like a loss of 'air' in the acoustic.

(Please note : none of the above applies if you are playing any record from the Dooleys or Dollar or Shaking Stevens )

First three for me as well.

I liked the story that shopping malls play easy listening (Max Bygraves/Des O'Connor "type music because adults can mentally switch it off and refuse to be annoyed whereas teenagers can't run their emotions, their emotions sort of just run them.:D

Oooh which one?

Here's a link from NHS to common food allergies. Really surprised that it includes apples and pears but not oranges. Maybe oranges are a common intolerance not allergy.

This one!

Mine too. It was 20 years ago. We paid for the bulk of the costs ourselves, but my parents paid for the reception. We were together 2 1/2 years beforehand. Have been married 20 years now.

To this day I can't believe how much I spend on my dress. I saw something I liked, but wasn't perfect, redesigned it to my spec and had hand embroidered silk directly imported from Thailand for the detailing. I blame it on the fact that I wasn't long out of the eighties and still getting over my yuppie phase. I had a white leather briefcase back then too. I blame that on Miami Vice.

:rotfl:at the briefcase.

My wedding was in a RC church in the seaside town my mum lived in (OH is Welsh congregational). Wedding reception at the best hotel in town (a Trust House Forte - so not that posh - it wa £850). We paid for for our own wedding - I felt abit cheated as my dad had paid for huge Irish weedings for my sisters but as he had died 12 months before we got married we just had to get on with it. The wedding cars were the same limousines that had chauffered us to dads funeral.

The dress was from pronuptia (£250) and the bridesmaids dresses were made by my aunt - they were good. I still have my dress, veil, shoes & stocking - its naff - in a box in the loft.

Our honeymoon was a night in a hotel in Wells then 2 weeks in Brittany.

My lovely mother-in-law and new in laws had seemed a bit subdued at our reception & I was a bit miffed. On return from our honeymoon we learnt that MiL was terminally ill. She died 10 weeks later.

Married 29 years now after a 2.5 years relationship. Completely and absolutely meant for each other. As for the vows - priceless. We remade our vows as a millenium event in our village - lots of local couples of all ages went - said our vows and had champagne and wedding cake. The ties that bind us are many - the promises we made each other are the foundations.

That's so sad and yet so lovely all at the same time Spirit.

I always wonder if that is why CD (with its limited sampling range) always sounds a bit flat compared to vinyl, it is not that you can hear the missing frequenies directly but that the interatcion between those trequencies and the ones you can hear is lost. Of course with digital mastering the extra frequencies are probably never there in the first place so itis only recordings from before this era that would be affected.

I can hear the supermarket 'noise' to discourage teens hanging around...blooming annoying when I am getting my trolley, think I drop the coin more times than actually get it into the hole first time because it is so annoying.

Youngest is allergic to rhubarb...among other foods but that is the weirdest one.

I wonder if you could hear a Mosquito device?

What can you hear on this link...

http://movingsoundtech.com/

The sounds are on the right of the page.

I cant hear the one for 49 year age and I'm way younger than that.

I can hear the any age and the under 60.

I can hear all of them (even the under 24) and I'm definitely not that :rotfl:

I heard 1-4. 5-7 I could hear when they started/stopped, but I think that's me hearing the switching on/off (if you see what I mean) .... and if there's an 8 I could hear that being turned on too .... it all happened a bit fast at the end ..... and I was trying to listen, not read the screen

This morning I get results more like this. I can hear four only just though, (but it's quite noisey here this morning).

It will be interesting to re try in different 'health' feels.


My hearing in normal range definitely struggles now, I find picking noises out of layered noise hard and phone calls can really aggravate my head issues, and I stop 'listening' in effort to batter away the sound iyswim.
