I would love for you to give me your
honest opinion about our new headphones
would you like to try them out
bring it let’s go try this one on throw
them on check it out pick it up it’s so
clear excellent
oh I’ll be jamming on the subway okay do
it nice at first our volunteers are
picking up nothing but good vibrations
love this song oh oh oh oh whoa and when
you try it you go ball ball ball ball
yeah I can’t turn it what they don’t
realize is we are controlling what they
hear from behind the set but what do you
think will happen if we mix in some
unsavory sounds offering up a selection
of noises ranging from the merely
obnoxious to get me the heck out of here
the nails that were coming down that was
really weird because it was like the
back of my mouth the teeth swear like
now it’s like a balloon okay
you love that one is a Spice Girls
appears through my soul the styrofoam
starts on my back and it just works its
way up like this and then he comes up
here and then it’s on my head I hate it
yeah yeah I’m like that’s okay it sounds
like something up when I heard the barf
I felt it in my body like right here my
stomach that may be nice okay so what’s
going on here why do we have such a
physical reaction to nothing more than
an unpleasant noise how does your brain
send sound and why does it respond so
physically to some sounds but not to
others measured in something called
Hertz sound waves move through the air
as vibrations the higher the frequency
the more powerful the vibrations
the highly sensitive systems of your
inner ear receive these sound waves and
send information about them to your
brain remarkably many sounds trigger
your amygdala the part of your brain
that controls the fight-or-flight
response
suggesting our brains have actually
evolved to associate sounds of a certain
frequency with danger or distress these
sounds aren’t language but they do
communicate they are meant to trigger an
immediate biological response
so those shivers you feel are probably
tied to our ancient survival instinct
