Is the universe singing Haleluya?

[Brec Vema]

I recently did an experiment where I tried to simulate a Bose Einstein Condensate. And of course me being a musician, I thought, if this thing is moving like a sound wave in unison then what might it sound like?

Turns out I was quite shocked when it sounded like Ha-Le-Lu-Ya

So I made a recording and would like to know what you think of it. It is very subtle and fades in and out but there are parts of the song where its quite clear. Let me know what you think!

The Haleluya Signal

First, welcome to RF.

The music is on Spotify but I'm not a member and I'm not sure I want to sign up even for a free membership because I'll no doubt have to fend off a wave of "upgrade your membership" spam.

I'd be happy to give it a listen if it were on Youtube or Vimeo.

Here ya go

First, greetings and salutations. Welcome to the forum.

I listened for the entire 13 minutes and I heard only sound waves. No words.

We hear what our mind chooses to hear.

Your headphones might not be precise enough. The frequencies are very subtle. You have to listen for the unison of voices. And notice that they follow the laws of polyrhythmic harmony.

I am very aware of Pareidolia

As a mixing engineer, it is something I am trained to be wary of. One of the first things you learn when working on a song is to put your emotions aside and not project what you want to hear into the music.
Just let the music be what it is. So when I was working on this simulation, I was in that state of mind and I heard the sound for what it was. I've been thinking of sending this to an audio forensics analyst.

I dunno, I can almost hear Leonard Cohen there....

Perhaps. My ears are getting old and suffer from tinnitus, and my headphone aren't the highest quality.

I guess I'll just perch in the rafters of this thread and watch what others might be hearing.

ha! Maybe its him and Jeff Buckley

I promise its not a trick. I didn't use and synthesizers or samples to make this audio. Yes I really want to know what others hear!

 

[Vinayaka]

I heard a constant pitch, steady drone.

Yes. I kept thinking I was hearing a generator at night, thinking it was some electricity going on outside my trailer, I even asked neighbors if there was a generator nearby making noise. Then I heard it again in another area and I thought--what? Then I looked it up on the internet about swooshing noise and turns out it's literally in my head. Could be blood pressure, carotid artery or something like that near my ear as the blood whirls by.

Thank you for listening

 

[Treks]

Could be Waheguru instead of Haleluya

I think get what you're saying - it's not that the sound is cycling though the syllables of the word, but is sounding each syllable at the same time. Right?

It's a very pleasing sound.

How did you make it?

Yes you pretty much got it They cycle and eventually line up together to sing 'Ha', then immediately followed by 'Le', etc... The whole thing is a collection of frequencies cycling in and out of harmony. And when they are most balanced, the word emerges.

Yes it indeed is very pleasing. I propose that when you remove all chaos from a signal, you are left only with perfect harmony, and this is what it sounds like.

The Haleluya Signal

I've heard cosmic microwave background radiation noise from the Big Bang, sorry to disappoint you, but there's neither evidence of angels singing praise to God nor evidence for the universe's utterance of hallelujah.

The following YouTube video explains the cause of the noise you'd hear recorded at a microwave-band frequency received from the audio signal receiver of a radio telescope antenna pointed in any direction towards outer space.

 

[Brec Vema]

How did you make it?

I will reveal that soon. First I want to get an understanding of how people will react to it.
It's surprisingly very very simple.

Cool video. But I didn't see where it talked about underlying patterns of the background radiation making any kind of discernable sound. In my experiment I also tried using a sample of the CMB as an audio source and the same pattern emerged! The Haleluya sound is what happens when you remove the chaos from CMB. It is the sound of perfect harmony.

You're right there was no evidence of the universe utterance of hallelujah, but there is now

Here's a great article about how the laws of the physics of the universe have very much in common with the laws of musical harmony (Pythagoras etc...)

That's so unfair to me, I hear static noise while you hear beautiful harmony....

By the way, I'm partially tone-deaf , so maybe that'd have something to do with this....

I'm sorry I hope I wasn't insulting.
It is indeed very very subtle. When I get some more precise equipment I plan on making a new more clear version. Complete with a spectrogram and more supporting evidence. Then you can see it!
