He says that the one you hear is an example "Those sounds are too high pitched to hear, like the one playing in the video right now (that you CAN hear)". Poorly worded, but he never said you shouldn't hear anything
@@EddSjo the syntax of that sentence just flat-out implies you can't hear the one in the video. Even if he meant you CAN hear the one in the video, it's incorrect.
Similar, as recently I watched a video on sound testing for age. In the video, a scale was played with higher and higher notes. My garbage laptop speakers can only produce half the scale, despite the fact that my ears are perfectly healthy.

That's because he played an audio track of ringing in the beginning, and even pointed it out in a screenshot soon after.And even if the whole hypersound thing was true, then the ringing should not have been what caused you pain because form what is claimed in both the video and the study YOU LITERALLY CANNOT HEAR HYPERSOUND(WHICH DOES NOT EXIST.)
The last part of the video was damn important. Despite all this, always take a person suffering from any medical problems seriously. I'm really glad you added that point! A very well made video :D!!
Sometimes when I think the volume is on a video and assume its low, I can 'hear' a video playing very quietly then realize the volume isn't on at all and it's imaginary.
I'll get that too sometimes if I see a video playing out of the corner of my eye but don't know it's muted, my brain will make up what sounds like words that are just too quiet to make out but when I look at the video and concentrate on the sound to hear it it stops.

...and lavander town music doesn't actually do shit, the ppl reporting depression and pain were really under this effect. I fucking knew it, there is no way a song could do shit to you physically
Well, you could get a headache from it, but that's all. Just a headache. And the sound would be obvious, too, with the technology they had. I listened to a remake that used many slightly different ultrasound frequencies, and I did get a headache, but the story exaggerates so damn much
In my history class we had to watch a video from them about the dare stones (they are all fake) about how they are real and they just said how it’s made from stone from the area

So... listening to this, I think I may have identified a nocebo effect taking place when I was in junior school, at about 9 years old. A bunch of people apparently got scarlet fever and started itching like crazy... about two thirds of the class was in the doctor's surgery on that same day, including myself. And like, it was real itching, real redness, REAL temperatures and sore throats, in many cases. But when I'd been home for like, a day, I was absolutely FINE. Half my class was back at school within a couple days. To this day, I have no idea who, if any of my classmates, actually HAD it. I guess this could be what it was...
this makes a lot of sense. i have an app that guesses when my period will start, and apparently it should start today. it hasn't, but for the week leading up to now I've been experiencing a cramp-like sensation in my stomach. i honestly don't know whether it's PMS or a nocebo effect but I'd bet that its a nocebo effect because I've never gotten cramps before the period before. so yeah thanks CGP

D MATH that would be placebo and yah people get placebo effect all the time. Like when people hotbox and think it gets them so much higher yet in actuality you're just inhaling stale smoke and hurting your lungs even more. Or if someone gives you a pill and tells you it's like a drug pill that gets you high you'll start to think you're getting high.
To an extent. I did a test on my friend once. I told him we were smoking weed, even though we were smoking something that had no effect. He totally acted high. After telling him the truth, we had real weed to make up for it.
Ooohhhh this happened in Spongebob once. Gary bites Spongebob and he thinks he's having symptoms (stupid ones like long toenails) and then a news reporter says the 'snails disease' spreads through the air and soon everyone thinks they have it, but at the end, a doctor said it's fake. :D
@oƃƃə Noah’s ark is a true story. I know how difficult it sounds to build a boat as large as that by hand, but keep in mind that in those days people lived a lot longer. I’m pretty sure the boat took 120 years to build. He also coated it with something (I honestly can’t remember what) that I’m guessing made the wood stronger. I do agree that the History channel isn’t very useful though
@oƃƃə God can make anything happen. In the Bible, it says that “the floodgates of heaven were opened” (Genesis 7:11 NIV), which means the water didn’t all come from earth. Not to mention, there are many stories around the world of global flooding, which would be a pretty huge coincidence if the stories were false.
@oƃƃə Science actually supports the Bible. Also, if you do enough research, you’ll find lots of sources indicating a global flood. One such example is the Epic of Gilgamesh. And as for the bat thing, the Bible was written in ancient times, long before humans could have realized that bats were mammals instead of birds. Even though God is all-knowing, if he had listed bats along with other mammals where they belong, the ancient Israelites would have been very confused.
@@0mathgaming, the fact that we have other stories about floods that don’t fit with Jewish mythology is strong evidence that they’re just memes instead of real events. Also, how do you know that people lived much longer then, if not from the Bible? We have historical accounts from much earlier than that, and it looks like there was not a single moment in history where people lived longer. What really happens is quite the opposite: even if we compensate for infant mortality, people used to live much less on average than contemporary humans. If we really had people living hundreds of years, we would have archeological evidence of that, and even written confirmation from Egypt, Mesopotamia, and maybe China. Instead, we have the Bible saying that hundreds of years after the time when people supposedly lived hundreds of years.
I remember before I was tested for allergies people would tell me I was a drama llama.

My favorite part of the video. Because it is true.
No wonder it showed a mini series of the Bible
3594910025R It showed a series about FUCKING ALIENS!
I'm not saying it was retarded, but it was retarded!
You can't fool me Grey! I know an anvil to the head is harmless. I won't fall for your nocebo trickery.

I already had a headache and it started to go away when said you were playing the sound, now its back.
"Wind farms with Wi-Fi". is now my favorite thing.
"I refuse to believe that I will die to an anvil to the face"
*MY FACE IS MY SHIELD*
Username and avatar both check out.
*MY FURY IS MY SWORD* , while slapping the anvil away
"so hear me out, i have the greatest business idea of all time"
"ok, go on"
"so windfarms
with wifi"
Wait til this guy finds out wind farms have WiFi
Wind-Fi
Imagine how far the wind will spread the wifi
Genius!
then spam the local news with how windfarms with wifi will make you go sick, boom, cheap houses to buy from people scared that want to leave the place
i absolutely love that the thing on the TV that is 'uninformative' at 4:55 is the History Channel, as a history buff this is very true
“Wind farms with wifi.”
Thanks for quoting that.
Knightmares the true evil
how could you!... i probably going to have nightmares for days, weeks, MONTHS EVEN!!! (lol jk XD)
That's why I looked in the comments section.
I know right? What kind of farm has WiFi
I just realised the lavender town syndrome myth was based off hypersound…
Cool story bro. And when did you realize that hypersound isn't a thing?
Josiah Winslow I meant the myth of hypersound
Actually, ultrasound is what they were calling hypersound there. Except to cause a headache you need a lot of very slightly different tones
...and lavander town music doesn't actually do shit, the ppl reporting depression and pain were really under this effect. I fucking knew it, there is no way a song could do shit to you physically
Well, you could get a headache from it, but that's all. Just a headache. And the sound would be obvious, too, with the technology they had. I listened to a remake that used many slightly different ultrasound frequencies, and I did get a headache, but the story exaggerates so damn much
Wow, your “hyper sound” cured my headache
I think that's just his voice
I had a dehydration headache before this, and the sound cured me

“Watches something uninformative” **shows history channel**
xD
this should be the highest rate comment
You have a very cute profile pic!
In my history class we had to watch a video from them about the dare stones (they are all fake) about how they are real and they just said how it’s made from stone from the area
I was like looking for a comment mentioning this and was surprised that it wasnt in top 5 !!
How every ancient curse used to work on the uneducated people
And ancient "cure:, too. How would cutting me open and draining a pint or two...or three.....or......that's a lot of blood.......i feel woozy.............*faints*
Nah they wouldn't work still. People were just sacred because of superstitions
Sh4dy D4v3 not every, a lot of others were probably cause by natural processes. Like women in Salem being thought of witches for jumping off of buildings with brooms because of a natural chemical found in buildings with get thrown into the air when sweeping.
Kind off.

So... listening to this, I think I may have identified a nocebo effect taking place when I was in junior school, at about 9 years old. A bunch of people apparently got scarlet fever and started itching like crazy... about two thirds of the class was in the doctor's surgery on that same day, including myself. And like, it was real itching, real redness, REAL temperatures and sore throats, in many cases. But when I'd been home for like, a day, I was absolutely FINE. Half my class was back at school within a couple days. To this day, I have no idea who, if any of my classmates, actually HAD it. I guess this could be what it was...
this makes a lot of sense. i have an app that guesses when my period will start, and apparently it should start today. it hasn't, but for the week leading up to now I've been experiencing a cramp-like sensation in my stomach. i honestly don't know whether it's PMS or a nocebo effect but I'd bet that its a nocebo effect because I've never gotten cramps before the period before. so yeah thanks CGP
Shots fired at the History Channel?
Justifiably so. Haha
Perhaps he was using the term "uninformative" strictly within the context of informing people that they should feel sick? ...nah. Shots fired. (~_~)
Echo Trowers he despises the History Channel. He actually addressed them in a video
Which video?
Because aliens!
Thank you so much for 5:48. This is a huge problem, thanks for addressing it.
I was like: Is there something wrong with me? I cant hear or feel anything different.
And then it hit
My head doesn't hurt, but thanks to that high pitch you put in, my ears sure do...
That was fake if you watched the whole video
ThePlayX3 No, dear. The headache part was fake, but the sound was very much real.
Amelia Bee the sound lasted all of 5 seconds and then faded out.
It was not the hyperpitched sound he was talking about, just some music background.
Why dont u walk it aint far walk it's only 38 miles
"this video will hurt"
me:clicks
internet goes out
me:oh
then how did you post this comment
@@sodiboo i posted after it went back on
@@steelsamuel129 thank you for this great insight into the day your internet went out, i will surely write a book about this
@@sodiboo the book will be legendary and will be titled: steelsamuel9's day without internet (goes wrong).
can't wait to see this awesome and totally serious book coming soon to a theatre near me.
@@steelsamuel129 no i'm not gonna publish it to theaters anywhere near you because i don't like you, i'm gonna only allow one theater on the complete opposite side of the world from you to show it while you're sleeping because screw you that's why
I love your attack on the History channel.
I started panicking in the intro bc I fully thought I was just about to have a headache
So ur saying if i believe im high i can get high?
D MATH that would be placebo and yah people get placebo effect all the time. Like when people hotbox and think it gets them so much higher yet in actuality you're just inhaling stale smoke and hurting your lungs even more. Or if someone gives you a pill and tells you it's like a drug pill that gets you high you'll start to think you're getting high.
To an extent. I did a test on my friend once. I told him we were smoking weed, even though we were smoking something that had no effect. He totally acted high. After telling him the truth, we had real weed to make up for it.
Not in that way really....
You've never heard of kids "getting drunk" on one sip around their friends?
probably, I once got drunk from a Coke cuz I thought there was alcohol in it O.o
“This video will hurt”
Me: *turns off sound and uses subtitles*
Five seconds later: *gets suspicious and looks at the comments*
“Oh”
Even tho i've watched this video multiple times, i still get the pressing headache feeling i got the first time.
+Totally Not A Cylon Yeah. You don't even need to think it is harmful to be effected. Your subconscious fills in the gaps.
0:01 at the start it hurt but then when i watched it again my head was jamming to the music
So Nacebo is basicly Placebo just insted of healing you its harming you
nice
Placebo
Positive
Nocebo
Negative
Thanks for da explanation
Mind over matter basically
@@watchdominion7356 no more cebos
@@brohamletmeusethishandle It actually comes from nociception - the ability to experience pain
Ooohhhh this happened in Spongebob once. Gary bites Spongebob and he thinks he's having symptoms (stupid ones like long toenails) and then a news reporter says the 'snails disease' spreads through the air and soon everyone thinks they have it, but at the end, a doctor said it's fake. :D
Yeh I thought that too!
"Those are only moderately untrimmed toenails."
Correct
Well that's what they get for believing in Patrick....

“Something un informative”
Shows History channel
It's so true though
@oƃƃə Noah’s ark is a true story. I know how difficult it sounds to build a boat as large as that by hand, but keep in mind that in those days people lived a lot longer. I’m pretty sure the boat took 120 years to build. He also coated it with something (I honestly can’t remember what) that I’m guessing made the wood stronger.
I do agree that the History channel isn’t very useful though
@oƃƃə God can make anything happen. In the Bible, it says that “the floodgates of heaven were opened” (Genesis 7:11 NIV), which means the water didn’t all come from earth. Not to mention, there are many stories around the world of global flooding, which would be a pretty huge coincidence if the stories were false.
@oƃƃə Science actually supports the Bible. Also, if you do enough research, you’ll find lots of sources indicating a global flood. One such example is the Epic of Gilgamesh. And as for the bat thing, the Bible was written in ancient times, long before humans could have realized that bats were mammals instead of birds. Even though God is all-knowing, if he had listed bats along with other mammals where they belong, the ancient Israelites would have been very confused.
@@0mathgaming, the fact that we have other stories about floods that don’t fit with Jewish mythology is strong evidence that they’re just memes instead of real events.
Also, how do you know that people lived much longer then, if not from the Bible? We have historical accounts from much earlier than that, and it looks like there was not a single moment in history where people lived longer. What really happens is quite the opposite: even if we compensate for infant mortality, people used to live much less on average than contemporary humans. If we really had people living hundreds of years, we would have archeological evidence of that, and even written confirmation from Egypt, Mesopotamia, and maybe China. Instead, we have the Bible saying that hundreds of years after the time when people supposedly lived hundreds of years.
"Wifi or wind farms, or wind farms with wifi!"
Huh, interesting idea.
My dogs didn’t react to the “too high pitch to hear” sound, so I assumed my speakers couldn’t produce it lol
Yes. TH-cam cuts it out. There is no reason for storing sound you cannot hear
FotY or it never existed like he said it’s a video placebos
@@dmodk8010 I have good headphones and I could hear it. Not extremely loud but noticeable.
Nvm that was just music playing in the background.
Mr_Biscuit the sound was put there to make it seam there is a sound. There is no sound you can’t hear that gives you headaches in the video
“This video will hurt”
People: Yeah, okay. *clicks to watch it*
we're all suckers for pain^^
@@im_youknow_marty Ahahahah. True!
I needed that.....🚬
We're kinky.
OH GOD NOT WIND FARMS WITH WIFI !!!!!
lord halp us......
Jokes on you, I could hear the beep. Guess I am a dog.
Jokes on you, I did hear a beep, but it apparently wasn't the video, and it did hurt..
But what about the Wi-Fi with wind farms

"Some of you will start to have a headache"
Yes, caffeine withdrawal does that to me :(

I remember before I was tested for allergies people would tell me I was a drama llama. Because of that, my allergy test was not scheduled until I was about 11, when most with allergies like mine are tested around 5 or 6. When I finally was tested, I was allergic to 36 different things and got to tell people I told you so.
I swear I heard a high pitch sound at first before it faded
I was wondering why I wasn’t getting a headache
I thought I was special
but you could feel preasure on your ears right
You are just immune to nocebo effect...
"All this makes it too easy to mock people for thinking they're getting sick from WiFi or Wind farms or *Wind Farms with WiFi*..."
LOL
