Actually Silidons does bring up a good point with this. Have you ever seen those ghost hunter shows where they use and audio recorder and claim that some of the noises they are picking up are ghost voices (EVPs)? It's random white noise that doesn't sound like anything until after the ghost "expert" tells you what the voice is saying. Then you can hear it clear as day. I think the same concepts apply to backmasking.
Remember Ringo's famous line, "I buried Paul?". Everyone could hear it in the song and it started an elaborate conspiracy that Paul McCartney was actually dead and his death had been covered up. Until some years later when Ringo admitted he actually was just saying "cranberry sauce" slowly. Listed to the song again after that and you hear "cranberry sauce" clearly.
Our brains are weird things.

No, I'm just making an observation. If we are so perfectly designed why do we have so many glaring flaws in just our senses alone.
Yea, exactly. Thats the first thing I thought of when they were talking about the mcgurk effect. I just didn't remember what EVP was called.
here it is again haha:
