the ring in your ears.


Recommended Posts

some years ago I got curious as to just what was that ring really was. so I asked a classical pianist friend to tell me what it was.

turned out to be C Minor.

now when asked if I play an instrument I can say,,,

yup, I play the anvil in C Minor.

anybody else done this?

How'd your friend determine what note your tinnitus is? I know it alters my perception of sound so it makes me wonder how accurate listening to tones would be. Then again perception is everything so. . .

 

Oh yeah your question, no I haven't done this. But Hmmmm.

I've had scale in my ears more than once but I don't know about a chord. You'd think a person would notice a chord in his ear don't you? Sometimes when the weather is changing my ears pop a lot, the ringing changes with each pop, would that be a riff?

Running water (like from a household faucet) often has the same tone, pitch, note, whatever you call it and when it does it resonates. I wouldn't call it cord; what I call it is insanity. First time it happened was the last time I worked without earplugs. This followed a shift of heavy grinding on steel light pole shafts without hearing protection. I think the damage (and yes, it is hearing damage and loss) had already began before however from loud rock music, gun fire and maybe even jet engine noise even tho I religiously (and by Wing regulations) wore hearing protection....

this has got me interested now.....

there are such things as musical anvils, and pythagoras (of the theorem) also developed one of the earliest musical scales, after hearing smiths working with different sized hammers on different sized anvils.

while recording this soundtrack tune, neil finn was ruptured to have called " needs more anvil!"

also-

i am interested to find the key of mine ;)

The ring of my anvil has a distinctive tone. When heavier hammers and or stock is being used, there is a second higher tone and an ultra high pitch which drives my son and the dog crazy. Both leave the area.

 

Anyone else notice the second and higher frequency with their anvil?
