It's a while since I caught much of this programme, but the whoosh, I guess, might at least partly be created with a notch filter. If this is at mid-high frequencies, it's a well known phenomena that I first heard demonstrated (on a PDP-8 computer!) way back in the early 1970's when I was at the

I struggled to recreate this effect - my last paper was on creating vertical illusions with all these cues etc. The conclusion I reached was that they can only effectively be created by accident or by nailing a speaker to a tree. On 13 August 2012 12:07, Dave Malham dave.mal...@york.ac.uk wrote:

I'm a regular watcher and I have noticed exactly the same! I thought it was just some reflections from the room but it's interesting to see someone else experiencing it. Hector On 2012-08-07, at 7:09 AM, Richard Dobson richarddob...@blueyonder.co.uk wrote: Re odd things heard: is anyone

Re odd things heard: is anyone here a regular watcher of The Big Bang Theory show (E4, and on various cable channels)? There is a standard sting (a sort of semi-pitched noise cluster cum whoosh sort of thing, little more than a second in length) used to transition from one scene to the next.

I personally think that these things can sometimes happen due to weird room reflections , resonances modes, the position of the television etc interacting weirdly with certain frequencies. I will never forget one of these events when I recorded bird sound. Played back on my crappy laptiop speakers

the sting likely uses mid-side widening techniques found in many daw plugins these days. And its probably being helped by room effects - especially if the speakers, as many tv's do, are pointed, or partly pointed, back away from the listening area. Bose did this in the 70's (maybe 60's) and since,

My TV is just set to plain stereo, doesn't appear to have any other options such as SRS anyway. Unfortunately, moving the TV to another location is not a trivial operation. It is however hooked up to my stereo hifi (slightly more favourably positioned!), and the next obvious thing is to
