Auditory distortion
Auditory distortions can manifest themselves in many styles, but often take the form of echoes or murmurs rising in the wake of each sound which are accompanied by distorted changes of pitch. These increase proportionally with dosage up until the point where music and sounds are consistently followed by a continuous reverb, often leaving the original sound as completely unrecognizable (but always resetting to base level and starting over if the source of original noise is stopped or changed).
This effect can be broken down into 3 differing levels of intensity.
- Mild - At this level, auditory distortions are subtle, quiet and spontaneous reverbs, echo effects, and changes in pitch attributed to noises within the external environment. They are fleeting in their manifestation, underwhelming in their intensity, and easy to ignore.
- Distinct - These are extremely obvious and spontaneous echo effects and changes in pitch attributed to noises within the external environment. These can be very long or drawn out in their manifestation and loud enough to make them impossible to ignore.
- All-encompassing - At this point, the audio distortions become constant in their manifestation and impossible to ignore. The alterations become so complex that the original noise is quickly rendered unrecognizable.
Examples
The audio clip above demonstrates how it may sound to listen to a lecture whilst undergoing the experience of level 3 auditory distortions.
