[QUOTE="russ_watters, post: 6115954, member: 142"] Here's the paper: [URL]https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2019/01/04/510834.full.pdf[/URL] I see nothing in there suggesting the authors attempted to ascertain the volume of the original source by any method, much less that one, nor do I think such a thing is possible from a recording. I think it is impossible to tell the difference between a loud sound slightly further away than a softer sound. Or, for that matter, a more or less sensitive microphone or recording gain level. Also, since the recording was produced for the purpose of telling people what to "look" for, I would think the government would have chosen as "clean" a recording as they could make, devoid of background noise. But in any case, they made no comment on having done any of that. All they said they did is waveform matching. Such as? Does the paper discuss them? A key quote from the article: Don't read it too fast or make sure to let the first sentence sink in before moving to the second: "...when the cricket call is played on a loudspeaker and recorded..." Again: [B]"...played on a loudspeaker and recorded..."[/B] In order to create a match, they played recorded sounds on a loudspeaker and re-recorded them. And that tells them the sounds in the government recording are natural? Obvious question: why doesn't it tell them the sounds were created in exactly the same way they created their sounds? They're skipping a step in logic like so many others are. [/QUOTE]
