The other day I was listening to something on my computer using my Bose QC 15s when I decided to plug in my iphone. The way that I plugged it in actually tuned my headphones to the radiation of my iphone. I could literally hear the movement of my iphone as I moved it closer and farther, and these are wired (not wireless) headphones that weren’t connected to my iphone at all. I’m not a scientist, so I don’t have an exact explanation yet, but based on what I know about radiation, and noise canceling headphones I made a conclusion. Iphones emit radiation at a certain frequency. By performing a calibrating action that makes the sound frequency known, and doing it inches from my headphones they tuned to that frequency, even though the normal human ear would not have picked it up. Noise canceling headphones put out an opposite frequency to cancel out noises, so by translating a noise I couldn’t hear, it ended up doing the opposite of its’ job and translating that into a noise that I could hear. I’ve tested this several times, and for some reason it only works under certain conditions. First, it must be connected to my computer, and at level two volume. Secondly, the initiating sound (when metal of the plug touches metal on my phone) must be within two inches of the microphones built in for cancelation. Under these conditions I was able to replicate the experiment several times. Finally, after a massive headache I gave up. That is the strange tale of my headphones. Do you have any idea why this happened or what this way? Let me know in the comments below.
