Rob2687 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Seems to short to be simply a slowed down bit of audio. More likely there's data encoded in there in some kinda format.

KGBrAm Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 use this grid with rot +13 00000000000000000000 01011000000111111110 11000000000000000000 Excellent! Thank you sir. Is that binary string one of the clues within the packages MS has sent out?

PricklyPoo Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I sped it up using many different speeds but it doesnt really sound like anything...I also suspect there is data encoded in there somewhere, But I could be wrong....Maybe it is something to do with speeding it up Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/32/#findComment-588166458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonhead Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I think it has something to do with 1234 because the actual name of the sound is http://vanishingpointgame.com/assets/sound.mp3 but it defaults to 1234.

Stetson Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 When you speed it up, the only thing I noticed is that the end sounds a bit like a heartbeat, but nothing else interesting. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/32/#findComment-588166468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted December 25, 2006 Developer Share Posted December 25, 2006 Could it be morse code or something like that? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/32/#findComment-588166475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I'd even dare guessing its a form of phone-dial-tone [?] I was thinking the same thing. The last section you can hear 4 different tones Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/32/#findComment-588166476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PricklyPoo Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 If it was morse code it would be NMA Ok I listened to it at 1.234 I defenitly think it is phone tones from someone dialing a number Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/32/#findComment-588166492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
well... Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 tried playing at 1.234 (i managed 1.233 in wmp) but sounds just as weird (but i dont know morse! :whistle: ) but i agree it may be a phone dial tone you could work out the number using this: http://www.dsptutor.freeuk.com/dtmf/ToneGenerator.html got 2 go Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/32/#findComment-588166510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bei337 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I think it has something to do with the wave graph instead of the sound. I don't know what it is tho. In Chinese, those are 4 letters in the graph, but they don't make sense.

simsie Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 If it helps i listened to it and could only hear 3 different sounds..... Short blips (one note), slightly longer blips (different note) and 2 long ones in the middle. The notes are consistant across the beeps (so all short blips have the same note). Well i think this is right. The formation i found was.. . _ . _ __ __ . . _ . _ . (hope that makes sense) Hope i help atleast someone Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/32/#findComment-588166514 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Chinese, those are 4 letters in the graph, but they don't make sense. Ya in Nero wave editor I was looking at how high the sounds go in the graph and going over to the numbers to see If I could find anything...
