Already said this in chat, but B.S. (the submitter of the 40Hz story) could be Bill Stauffer.

I first heard about these geography based hums years and years ago. The first one I heard about was the Taos Hum. I've been through Taos once, and didn't hear it... then again, I was in a car doing about 60, so I wouldn't expect to.

Oh, this is out of game, but could be related: http://www.bwgen.com/

Out of game also, but "Coherent 40Hz oscillation characterizes dream state in humans." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=8446632

A puzzle thread on the wav file has been started here.

By the way, did anyone else notice a little boo boo on the update email?

I don't know, when I first saw "Reader B.S" I instantly thought it meant bulls**t .Oh well, the Stauffer spec seems plausible too.

I believe I found the site that reader B.S. is referring to:

http://www.fortyhertz.com

The 40hz.wav file is on that page and it's the exact one on the UM site. Whois info is also consistant with the fact that this game is in-game. And the site mentions a Ernst Shoemaker (father or Karl Shoemaker of Dreamprojector perhaps?).

I've emailed Amanda with the find. I also emailed the webmaster of the fortyhertz site.

(as to how I found it, I simple typed in www.fortyhertz.com , googling didn't come up with it at all)

This is interesting:

Looks in-game. Great find. I noted all images were gifs except the button you click to hear the wav file. All four images are also all stored in /images/ which is blocked to public access. I looked at them in animation shop, but no hidden messages. The rotating crystal animation file is both mispelled and has an 01 at the end. I tried /images/crystal01.gif and chrystal02.gif, but found nothing. I viewed the source code. Again, no hidden messages, but it is obviously made by an editor. I guess all we get is the info and the email address. Someone tell Ed the web address.

Emailing the godmind guy gets an autoresponse... wasn't sure whether to put it in Interaction until we decide it's definitely in game.

Now I'm looking at the godmind site. In the source, it is apparent that it was made by an editor. The EXACT same editor. Also, images are stored in the images directory like the previous site, and both images are gif files. It also gives an email address. Looks in-game... but not 100% sure. More of 80% sure. It is also very boring. Can someone paraphrase it?
