Mostly I just need to post.

A couple of weeks ago-- or maybe just one-- I was out taking a walk in my neighborhood and I started hearing some classic rock being played across the street, like somebody was throwing a party. So I went over to go watch, or something (...I don't know o_o), but as I got to where it sounded like it was coming from, I couldn't hear it anymore. I kept walking for a bit, thinking maybe it was just between songs or something, but no! I started to hear it coming from a couple of streets further down.

So I kept walking, and as I got closer to where it sounded like it was coming from, it got louder, until I got within about 100 feet or so of it, and then it was gone again. So I kept walking, and I started to hear it again...

Long story medium, this happened about 2 or 3 more times until I ended up at the freeway and called it quits. As I walked back home, the same thing happened behind me all the way. It kept sounding like I had just passed the house that was playing all the music, not that I was ever approaching it.

It was weird, guys.

i've had one or two of those in my day.

they're crazy, something about sounds being ping-ponged off house walls and you're not sure where it's coming from. it's really crazy when you can hear the source along with the echo.

Sound can play all kinds of tricks on you; I've been in studio rooms, e.g., whose design makes it such that you can't discern the dirctionality of any sound--the sound is so diffused through the space that you can't tell where it's coming from.

Weird. Something like that happened to me a few days ago. I was jogging during a lighting/ rain storm and I heard a siren coming from a tennis court. I tentatively went over to it but there was no indication of a siren aparatus. I was slightly creeped out so I headed back home. Then the siren stopped. This is the stuff of horror movies. I was paranoid that some dude with a chainsaw was going to jump out of the bushes or something.
