      @BirnieMac1 Před 11 dny +19

      Largely because it’s just pressure waves
      Also the pain stimuli is seperate in EVERY organ system because we use specialised afferent nerve fibres to sense different kinds of pain - like we wouldnt have many C fibres because thermal isn’t as high an issue, but we’d have a lot of A alpha, beta and delta
      Delta is probs the important one because its the faster version of C fibres
      Alpha fibres are whats involved in the cochlear of the inner ear for balance and proprioception and the beta fibres are just touch

    On older video game consoles like the Mega Drive (SEGA Genesis) had a low-pass filter integrated into the sound chip (more though the components and low quality of the signal forced higher frequencies to get lost), and this was fortunate as some retail games have bugs in them which cause extremely loud high-pitched chirping at all times. Without this filter, many games would have caused permanent hearing damage in many gamers. Nearly all emulators of these systems add a low-pass filter and enable it by default for this reason.
    Now we have a device that's portable and encouraged to be turned out for long periods of time which is also undetectable to the ordinary human ear that does the same thing. Fantastic.

      except that if those hairs move, then you could hear. If you can't heara frequency, then that hair is either dead, or the nerve attatched to it is severed. The inverse is true, as well : if you can't hear, then no hairs are moving, or the nerve is severed to those frequencies.
      So the way I see it, unless you can hear something, you aren't getting hearing damage, especially if you're talking about high frequencies.
      Low frequencies however, could blow your eardrum, but at those energy levels, you'd be out of breath, burned and blown on your ass from the bomb that just blew up right next to you.

      ​@@KlaevinThis is false. You can get hearing damage from ultrasound. The nerves have a response time, which means that high frequency signals won't get picked up properly. The hairs are still vibrating at that frequency, which can damage them if the sound is loud enough.

    In Scotland we actually have quite a few of these deployed in public (perhaps on a slightly different frequency) but turned down so they are just really irritating. As you said at the start of the episode, hearing becomes worse the older you get, so those under the age of 21 have a much higher range of hearing than older folk. These devices are used in places where it is inappropriate for teenagers to hang around (and often do like most teenagers, in groups, and at night) and are causing issues. There is some debate about them being used by companies (i.e. takeaways) because as you said long-term effects are not really studied yet, but their use here is for exactly the purpose that Elijah experienced (albeit at a much lower level) - namely to drive the teens loopy with the sound so they leave the immediate area.

    It seems like just by observing the patterns used by the wave emitter, you could just observe it applied to background noise, cancel out the pattern and look for data that doesn't correlate to rebuild your audio. You could then, if the sample was garbled, just reconstruct it, which is as simple as running it through some AI trained to rebuild based on levels of noise. A little advanced for the average individual, for now, but, at least at first glance, seems very doable.

    The Sony transmitter Linus uses has a function to filter out ultrasound, it’s “OCUPNCY SENS = ON” in the menu. It’s designed to remove audio issues caused by ultrasonic occupancy sensors, I wonder if it has any effect on the jammer. It’s really a question of how linear the input stages before that filter are, because if the nonlinearities are high enough to act as a mixer, then the ultrasound will have already mixed down to audible frequencies and will be untouched by the filter.

Maybe throw in a second channel offset by .05 millisecond delay, for dimension.

    Here's the thing, there's more to it than just overwhelming the diaphragm. You can blow out the mems diaphragm and have it just clipping out like mad, but you also have the digital aliasing of the audio it's recording that reduces the recorded frequency into the audible range, and you also get harmonics that are closer to audible noise as well. All of that makes ultrasound really hard to keep out of an audio recording. Generally speaking, mems mics are out for anything where high amplitude ultrasound is playing, as you found yourself.
