edit: exactly how it's setup in the Booth: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tpq8f.jpg) MLG_Lee October 20 2011: ...we pipe white noise into the over ear headphones too. And that the over ear headphones are also sound dampening. There's 6 (or 7) levels of sound dampening in effect. Just depends on what you count. | ||

It's a collective "static" of all frequencies that the human ear can perceive. Think about being in a crowded, bustling street - there are so many sounds that it is difficult to perceive a single one. The idea behind white noise is that for each actual sound the hearer is exposed to, there is an identical sound (in terms of frequency) in the white noise. Two sounds of the same frequency will essentially meld into one another - thus, the humdrum of the crowd is washed out by the white noise in the booth, making it so the players can focus and not get tipped off. | ||

I am pretty sure this is true as they put ipod earbuds in and then their headphones on top. the white noise could come through either one but probably one of them. Thanks for clarifying what white noise is ^_^ | ||

I'm 99% sure the Earbuds are from the comp with the gamesound... http://wellplayed.org/OMGtv/status/16500 Thanks for that :-) unless their booths fucked up i guess thats how the white noise is implemented. | ||

Jesus.. get some decent noise erasing headphones.... edit: oh ok its only in the boxes? rofl...do you actually think they listen to that? read the thread they dont need to listen to that its just used to "absorb" the noise that comes into the booth | ||

and I don't think allowing personal music is ok, as there could be individuals playing tracks with sounds in certain periods reminding them of macro etc.. | ||

That's why the clip sounds a bit like waves, and not like static noise. | ||
