Comment on Why you hear voices in your white noise machine

Comments

Diana Deutsch has something called the HIGH-LOW effect, where one ear hears the words high and low repeated, and the other ear hears the same thing, but in opposition so when one ear hears HIGH, the other heard LOW.

After a while of listening to it with headphones on, you'll start hearing different words phase in and out.

Pretty wild.
