ELI5: How come a single sustained tone can sound like it’s waving up and down?
Was listening to a song the other day and the intro was 10-15 seconds of just a single sustained synthesizer tone, and after a few seconds it started to sound like the tone was getting louder and the quieter. Maybe this was intentional sound design, but I feel like I’ve experienced this effect before. Surely this isn’t me hearing what the sound wave looks like…right? #education
