Where is this this voice is coming from, and who is it? I record in total silence.

It's a voice in the background which the laptop microphone barely picked up. It's impossile to tell who it is or say with any confidence what they're talking about. As for the complete silence you expected, I think you just made a mistake.

When I listen through the little speaker on my laptop, it's not possible to tell that there's a voice present at all. I have to listen on headphones to hear it.

For the avoidance of confusion, can you confirm where this recording came from?

It's my understanding that you recorded the clip on your own laptop, that you listened to the clip and didn't hear any voices, that you either sent or took a copy of the clip to flaccon and that after she listened to it you found that either her copy or your original or both had this voice on the recording.

Can you correct any wrong details please? In particular, was there any difference in the way you listened to the clip originally (speakers, headphones etc) when you didn't hear voices compared to later when you did ?

Attached audio (noice reduction, tempo change and amplification.) of the voice in scrappy's file and a graphic representation with words underlined in red.

What I make of it is:

you take your breath in time.

Words in bold are reported by me with higher confidence.

After several attempts I made it out as "take" When I sent it to flaccon, she played it over the phone. It seems to play louder on her PC but I expect that's due to quality speakers. I hear a "take" sound on my PC and a "think" sound on her PC. The final word I couldn't make out at all.

I sent her a silent file in June, and it altered. My PC now picks up these voices every time I record (in silence) The files don't need to go through flaccons PC now.

I use standard external speakers, always have. I find my headphones muffle it more.
 
Now, about over two hours not having listened to the file, having had some food and done different things, I can make "You think your breath is complicated" from the file.

Although the sound certainly appears to be a voice, I however can not confirm it actually speaks the suggested words.

Especially the suggestion of "complicated" (where I first heard it as "time") is strong, listening this time around.
The file is exactly the same though.

It might be an interesting experiment to listen to similar files several times with good time in between and see if people's perception of those sounds change as time passes.

Does anyone else experience perception changes with the file?

That's what flaccon heard. She actually mentioned "perception change" She will listen in, then go back to it later. She can't make out whether her perception alters, or the spirit clears it up enough for her to understand.

There's a clip or 2 on youtube with a similar voice on it. I'm working on it to let her know what I can hear. Theres one there that I definitely hear her full name being said.

I know this voice means very little for now, as it could be anyone. But I have no reason to lie, this is as clear as they have got on my PC so far.
 
You would need to ask her about that alderbank, I don't have anything to post. I'm aware she was originally going to calibrate a new computer, also alter any pre recorded "silences"

Not this nonsense again. How many times must you be told, computers new and old do not require calibration.

I strongly suggest that your so called "calibration" is flacon borking the audio in some way.

If you disagree, provide this mysterious "calibration" procedure.

To tell the truth, I'd like to know about his "calibration", too.

They are not in the air, so an external mic blocks their attempts of getting through (tested it with a few people) They told her that they travel thru her fingers and into her PC, and then into into PC's. ...

If 'they' do not utilize a microphone but enter the circuitry of the computer directly, you should be able to record 'them' with the sound card of the computer.

In Windows the sound card may initially be hidden from view and disabled, right click on the list of audio recording devices and select Show Disabled Devices.
Enable the sound card and if possible you could set it as the default device or choose the sound card as the device of choice in a recording program.

Make a recording, it will be very silent except for any audio playing through the computer and system sounds (all of which of course you would prevent from happening) and supposedly any 'discarnate voices'.
Such an audio file is not absolutely silent though, once normalized, you will hear background noise but no interfering ambient noises.

You should try that.

An example of normalized sound card audio is attached.

If you are thinking of how to reduce that background noise, to accentuate the voice, that is their background noise. The background noise is often different, sometimes its vibrating. My background noise used to be a quiet hiss, I'm assuming it still is.
 
Re: "scrappy's file renamed.wmv"

Without looking at anyone's spoilers, and really trying hard to make out what was said, here is what I got out of it.

"It's coo coo, yep yeah."

I strongly suspect that if you returned all the audio settings of your laptop to the positions they were in before it was "conditioned" it would miraculously be back to its old self.

No, it is to isolate purported 'spirit voices' from any (audible or non-audible) ambient noise and to create a consistent noise signature ....

That's what the contest was about.

I think Flaccon offered to hire a hall and invite a handful of people to discuss her findings and do further testing.

Are you referring to this old news from June?
...
If all is good this evening, and I do not doubt this, it would be good for a few of us (the fearless) to sort a quiet hall out somewhere. I can travel these days.

Her testing proposal to ASKE consisted of renting a hall, playing some audio and discussing her "findings" with a handful of people?

You're not serious, are you?
