Let me explain this to you guys. There are three tones being played at once. When you hear the "static" sound a higher pitch is slightly covered up by a low pitch. But if you listen very carefully you can hear this higher pitch as soon as it starts.
I think I figured out how it works, everytime thr pitch gets too low, the one that you hear at the very beggining is played, very softly and getring louder at the same time as getting lower. This repeats and givesbthe illusion.
It's not technically staying the same. It's just multiple octaves lowering and only one octave reaching a certain octave then re starting at the begining so it sounds like it just keeps going and going and going.....you get the idea.
You're supposed to hear changes. The tone is decided by the fundamental frequency. They've probably adjusted the amplitude of the harmonic frequencies to give the impression that the tone has changed.
May I ask for tips on how to apply the shepard tone? What exactly must I do? I realize the whole idea that more than one tone is playing at different octaves and while the highest melody lowers, the lower melody restarts where the highest melody took place.
Imagine being locked in a room where all the walls are optical illusions like these circles. and this tone is the only thing you can hear

Stole from other video. Or they stole it from you
+Stella Kennedy or they simply had the same thought

you are actually correct!
I think it's just one tone, no alternating in the audio.
no
RetroSpectiveGames Well, sorry, three COMBINED tones, but the sound isn't being changed.
You hear it too🙂 we are too smart to be fooled😎
2x speed: Sounds like multiple phantom race-cars downshifting into a hairpin turn on a roadcourse.
i'm slowly sliding out of my chair listening to this, without even wanting too.
Haha
WHEREVER I LOOK I SEE A FRACTION OF THE CIRCLES MOVING!!!
ican hear the individual notes going down and starting again. cant anyone else? it just seems like its on a loop you know?
Gavin Lockheart that’s how it works
This is that kinda shit you hear in worst nightmares...like those one's where you can't move and it's all dark.
I don't really get why people find this so unsettling. Kinda sounds like a UFO is landing, but I get nothing beyond that.
its just repeating tones
Thus why I don't find it unsettling.
Octuplex It's sounds like the music is decreasing but it's not. It's the same tone over and over.
Exactly, yet everyone in the comments is saying how they find the sound unsettling. At least they were when I commented.
how do you know what a ufo sounds like?
am I the only one that has a weird feeling that their organs are slowly, slowly drooping?
nope
Oh my gosh. The shepards tone doesn't blur them or make them stop spinning. It just sounds like it's going down when it's really staying the same.
It's not technically staying the same. It's just multiple octaves lowering and only one octave reaching a certain octave then re starting at the begining so it sounds like it just keeps going and going and going.....you get the idea.
Tristan Schoenberger Now you're thinking with portals.
+Tristan Schoenberger Yeah, basically that's how it works
if i blurred my eyes, the circle stop spinning...!!!
and i think i hearing some sounds that A LITTLE BIT rising...
Raga Khalif tanks
Imagine what being dead would sound like
This is like a nightmare im in where im in a falling plane
this is what hell sounds like,
I just picture some hellish alternate reality where this is playing nonstop and we all just keep falling and falling for all eternity.
Imagine if when you die this is what you see and hear forever .....
Then you will know Hell is real
This theme is used in Nintendo games for anti piracy screens
Thumbs up for students listening from University of Southampton
nope
Reminds me of Giygas
This sound makes me feel like I'm falling down forever and ever into a dark abyss
Same here. You can hear how the higher octave of the same note is just taking over when the lower one ends.
This tone is probably what plays in heaven or while your soul is being dragged into limbo.
like I'm falling down a never ending abyss, its the worst feeling ever,
what's up with the lenny face
if you listen closely you can hear the separate tones returning back to their high pitch fading into the rest of the tones of music.
You're supposed to hear changes. The tone is decided by the fundamental frequency. They've probably adjusted the amplitude of the harmonic frequencies to give the impression that the tone has changed.
Why is this so eerie?
It sounds a bit like the howls of the damned.
Çok dikkatli dinleyince harip oluyor. Türkler gelsin❤
nothing out of the ordinary I suspect
This is the best video EVAR
i really actually did go crazy from this
The only cure is to favorite it
My childhood is erased and replaced with this and a shelf of porcelain dolls twisting their heads
Imagine hearing this when you step into a dark room. And the cuts in this make me scared😰😰😰😰
the Shepard's Tone in it self is an illusion.
This probably IS the real sound of the Universe. Everything is collapsing into entropy. Life is a temporary activity
THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT
if the dogs are being chased by the cats and the mice are chasing the cats, this must mean....
Oh my god.
It's The American Revolution all over again.
This specifically makes me feel like I'm dreaming about being at Oceanside beach with a train at 6:43 PM and I'm going to die in my dream then wake up
MY BRAIN IS MELTING.
If you are one of those people who can see things blurry on command like me, do that and the circles stop moving
I actually needed this
Ring around the rosey.....here we go!!!
3 WEEKS OF NIGHTMARES THANKS
Thats why you have to mute it and listen to it like that
I feel like my eyes are getting darker.
wow that's cool, I can blur things but I didn't know I could do that!
Perfect mic-spam
what would drive be crazy is those repetitive sounds
All jokes aside THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME. Its like getting high. Why are more ppl not using this
My pause button doesn't work! The damn disks keep turning!
play in x2 speed
I find this very creepy because it sounds like a war siren. Or for some weird reason a plane from world war ll
hey this is actually pretty cool. this pigletslayer dude is awesome! SUBBED!!!!!
Whatever you do don't open up multiple tabs of this. *vomits*
Beautiful
i listened to this, full 10 minutes
wasn't bad, but i got a bit of a headache
the music when my ice is melting
am I the only one who sees them moving. when I stopped the vid, it still moves
no, it's supposed to do that
It's an optical illusion.... try ingesting some shrooms and really see them move... without the video ;)
この曲ってまさか海賊版対策の画面の音かよ
思い浮かぶモノとして、CHEEZEさんのアレが出てきますね…
PLAY IT BACKWARDS! LET'S GO UP!!
I only sayin ... for me it isn't getting lower, because i hear when its replaying.
AH, I FEEL LIKE I'M SLOWLY MELTING
The mice are chasing my cat.
C H E E Z E'S ANTI PIRACY MUSIC
Hmm, something is not quite right here .. there's a glitch in the tone about every 45 seconds. listen around 2'15'' for example.
Plane in crash dive . . . Why would I want to listen to that? Was the shepard hit by the plane? What about his sheep?
I do believe so
and the girls are chasing me...
The sound makes me think of the homeless man scene from Mulholland Drive... ufggh...
Oh my avatar ….
It sounds weird occasionally
not smooth enough. Can here the splice. should be feathered at either end in volume or pitch.
i'm weird enough to like it
It's just octaves, people...
I can hear to when this "audio" replay and start from beginning ... its just illusion
I'm going to watch this with 3D glasses and see what happens
And the cats are chasing the dogs.
I have no idea
brain.exe stopped working.
play at 0.5 speed
chuck norris got to the end of shepards tone
Shepard's Tone is depressing
ptsd from doki doki literature club
Why does it sound like a plane crashing...
Actually they are. Even when you pause it, they turn into a .gif
0:49 I think that's a mistake
LENNY FACES
May I ask for tips on how to apply the shepard tone? What exactly must I do? I realize the whole idea that more than one tone is playing at different octaves and while the highest melody lowers, the lower melody restarts where the highest melody took place.
I can still distinctly notice the part where they copied and pasted the audio :(
WHEN WILL IT EVER EEEEEND!!!!! O-O (Eye twitches)
yes
Very scary
im on crack now
I’m gonna say it
*TH I E F*
if you have more tones in it does that make the rises harder to hear?
im gonna be sick
