...and it's a tad scary too, isn't it?

So this is what results if you import a .m4a file in Audacity.

Hmm.. should put that in a mission where they are resurrecting ETAK and trying to figure Shivan transmissions out... fade in and out of regular ETAK sounds and this and other random noises.

And it probably fits in Transcend too.

Oh my...put the speed down in Sound Recorder, please...

[Klaustrophobia]

was that an entire song compressed into less than a second?

[Marcov]

Yes, it's a song nearly 5 minutes long.

Marcov. Go to bed.

If you listen to the .wavs of the Vishnan voices on FRED it sounds even worse.
Open the mission file for Ken and go through the list of .wavs played in that mission.

Uhh...what's this supposed to mean?

Which sound file is that? Anyway, personally I still think that kind of noise is among the scariest things I've ever heard. It's completely, utterly alien.

It probably tried to interpret the raw bytes of the file as pulse code modulation, and since the bytes don't have any coherence to them, what you hear is just garbage data the PCM interpreter in Audacity spat out.

Could you post one that's not less than a second long? or is that the point?

[Herra Tohtori]

Well, true fun and games start when you change the speed to -99% or -98% (depending how fast you want it to go, of course).

Woah... Freaky.  I can see this in a Metroid Prime level.
EDIT: You should try some other random files and see what happens.  Maybe different files will give you different sounds.

Well, I tried it with a longer file before (I think it was initially 8-9 minutes long), the bzzzing was longer at about 10 seconds, but the noise is pretty much the same.

What's that, a Blue Whale going on tantrums?

Sounds like something from Ken.
