Honestly, I think you hit the point where you were attempting to produce frequencies that your speakers were incapable of making lol Would love to see this on a huge powerful speaker.
@Chev427BB
Жыл бұрын
The maximum frequency of most speakers is around 15-20kHz, plus anything above around 20kHz is usually inaudible to humans anyways so it would make sense that that's around the range the sound just gives up
@ethantheenigma5513
Жыл бұрын
You also have to consider aliasing from most hardware not being built to handle such a high hertz input. Most can represent signals up to 22khz accurately but when your *funadamental* is like 12k-20k all the natural overtones are getting aliased. It's even worse when you're using distortion on top of that which produces even more overtones.

The A5 - A9 dissonence sounded actually really cool. I would like to put it in a song, but im scared the pets would go wild.
Thank you Nik. Without this I never would have known that my tinnitus is an A#7. I don't know what to do with that information, but it's kinda neat and that's all I can ask for
I am so glad I watched this with headphones on. Not connected or anything, just an extra layer between my ears and Nik Necromancer summoning ghosts.
My body is physically rejecting these sounds
I'm shocked that Nik didn't even play Higher by Creed even once when doing this experiment
I remember when downswing first hit the scene, I thought that their brand of "tuned up" metalcore was gonna gain some traction. At the time I thought the downtuning war was over. Evidently, the war was not over haha

So that was an interesting journey from ukulele metal to alien ukulele metal in 9 minutes.
Somehow I found myself sitting through all 9 minutes and 15 seconds of agony. 🤣 And enjoyed myself the entire time.

Your phone/laptop or smart fridge would then also need to have speakers capable of producing them, and you have to make sure KZread doesn't erase them while compressing. What you hear in the end when watching the video is the weakest link in the chain.

I always thought that super high could make some wacky ass noises. Basically contacting aliens is entirely possible we just haven't tried y'all 😂
8:50 is literally alien talk!
Once you started getting into the horrifically high tones I started getting PTSD from my childhood & dial-up internet 😂
8:18 "meow"
My dog was laying on my lap and 7:24 legit made her perk up and look at me
never thought i’d see the day when nik goes higher
the high notes sounds kind of like a hearing test sounds.
Nik waking up at 3am inexplicably because of the demon he summoned through the astral plane wants revenge 🤣
After watching Rob Scallon talking to Mike Batio about how the days when rockers wanted higher and higher notes and that’s why they started using 7 strings. To go higher not lower. They would have love this. Btw deffo recommend watching if you haven’t it’s quite wholesome
My dog has been searching around the house looking at the ceiling for the past hour trying to find the ghost making these sounds. Thanks Nik. 😂
Always love these kinds of videos, experiments in music are amazing to watch

3:56 can i play wonderwall on this tuning? “Sounds just as bad as it normaly does”💀💀💀
Nik: "How much do I hate myself" Me: " how much do I hate myself to watch this on full volume"
from alien communication through ghostly transmissions and summoning demons then onward to the screams of anguish of the damned and finally conversing Cthulhu and the Great Unspeakable Horrors. Glad my hearing is already screwed through long term headphone use
1:21 king james - buckethead intro
This man went so high his guitar gave up and went to heaven
No matter how high it goes, it still doesn't sound as annoying as the dentist tool.
6:05 That's just a horror game at this point.
If you're gonna use a pitch effect, use pitchwheel if you're playing live since it sounds great with no delay, but for post processing I would use Elastique pitch since it sounds insanely clean, but it has plugin delay
I’m old so I’ve lost my high frequency notes from too many concerts, so this actually wasn’t too painful lol
3:20 sounds like lavender town
The E6 tuning shredding just sounds like the intro to an 8 bit Kirby song ^^ Would also be really interesting to hear a song that combines both videos, going between both min and max tunings
I feel like these higher frequencies can literally break glass and it sounds awesome

the frequency is like 8.3 times higher than humans can hear so maybe.
My hearing is fine. My anxiety was through the roof. Even using a pitch shifter I still thought those strings were going to snap.
Sounds like a ghost got me 😂 love your new format of content! Can't wait for the next upload - quality stuff 🙏😍
Bruh, the notes got so high that they started sounding like OG Gameboy Pokémon. The notes hurt themselves in confusion
Vektor is a modern thrash band that tunes to F standard. I cant think of many bands that tune up. I kinda liked the A# tuning, and the octave up tuning. It could be used for a computer tech-y type thing.
3:29, radio is ~4 MHz which is around B16, and also literally a different kind of matter tho
tinnitus: the experiment
Gotta love how it literally started screaming in pain with a voice for the last ones.
Those high notes are like when you get hit in the head really hard and you just get that ringing noise.
For some reason the early low frequencies reminded me of the Offspring. And some of those really high ones were insane.
Went from electric guitar to dial up internet, thank you for the journey

You ever think of doing a higher pitched song? There's a video of Pete Cottrell where he played Metallica riffs but tuned up and they sounded pretty awesome.
Some of the best Nik videos are the most terrible ideas I love it when we have goofy Nik videos 😂
Metal meets absurdity in the midst of Nik's mental breakdown.
I actually have meniere's disease so have lost a huge chunk of my high end so i lost you before you decided to see how bad wonder wall sounded. So now im just watching your reaction to silence in the high notes. If i had my hearing aids in it would probably be an awful experience to be fair

Not related but great pfp. There Is a Hell is an amazing record and imo BMTH got better when they released it although Sempiternal is one my favourite albums from them and one of my favourite albums of all time.
I’m liking these high frequency sounds I’m a metal head but I love what’s happening
Would be cool to see this done analog. Actually get some really thick and really thin strings and see how high and how low you can get a guitar to actually play without any pitch shifting. Then of course you can throw a wammy pedal on it just to annoy the cat.
Riveting content as always Nik. Now I’m deaf though, you and your channel are going to be hearing from my lawyers soon.
I remember Dave Mustaine saying that if he were going to use a 7-string guitar, the additional string would be higher, not lower. That said, everything over about 8kHz sounded screwy through whatever youtube did + my headphones + what a long history of loud music have done to my ears. Even so, somewhere north of 20kHz, all of my earwax melted and dribbled out. I'm favoriting this video to save on Q-Tips in the future.
Hey nick this fun whilst watching made my day/night better 🤘🤘
I'm glad i chose to watch this without headphones
1:33 song name???
Considering the fact that human ear can only hear frequencies between 20 Hz and 20000 Hz, it's actually funny that we all heard every note played, even after going above the 20 kHz
lovely for my ears
THAT LAST PART SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD START TO A LINKIN PARK SONG
So on the highest note, we went from mandragora squealing to 56k router trying to connect to death screams from hell to baby alien trying to talk. Noice.
4:41 Nice 69 dodge
That dissonance at A#5 legitimately sounded like your guitar was screaming in agony
Fuckin' Scotty be out here hollerin' "There be whales here, Captain!" while he's looking through some transparent aluminum after Nik hit that E>13 high note...
Now this is metal for bats and dolphins
The part at 7:10 was legit sick
Every guitarist of the history of metal: "it's evolving just backwards"
Loved how it went from high to house hold appliance’s noises
My man managed to make the feeling of hitting your teeth while chewing and feeling it chip into a sound. Amazing!
Nik, I love these videos, even if it is purely for your reaction to the different sounds!!! 😂😃😂😂🤘🏻🤘🏻
The human ear can only hear tones up to 20,000Hz. And that’s like really young, pristine ears, not our ears that have been destroyed from years of thrash metal. Also, my dog hated this video.
So, human hearing caps out at ~20,000 hertz (and since we’re metalheads, safe to say we aren’t getting the full 20,000), which means everything past that is just the lower frequencies that also get produced, which is why it didn’t sound different, just quieter, because we can’t actually hear the full note (and chances are your audio system can’t play it. My earbuds max out at like 22,000, and they’re some good quality ones)
I love the sound you make at 8:47 hahahha
I watched this until I couldn't hear no more I've never had such an experience liked and subbed
I'm grateful to have the hearing I do, I have slight hearing loss but the main thing is that some frequencies cut out, some people's voices are hard to hear, especially with background noise.
Your guitar sounds like it’s desperately screaming and holding on for dear life Most metal thing ever
Nik: how high can we go Snoop: hold my blunt G
What I love about this is that I now know the exact pitch of my tinnitus.
I got through the whole video and I got to say it was very interesting
