I got to say a few I have seen before but these are great, I still find it hard to accept the 1st image where A and B are the same shade of grey :D
Anyway have fun looking at these, they are quite entertaining.
Appreciate these are not audio, but they show how our brain adjusts our perception, now aint reality a funny thing :)
I still love the rotating snake visual.

Yes it is! Either a "b" or an "n" keeps comming in while trying to hit the space bar.... Writting slowly solves the issue :)
 
LOL Steve wins the Sherlock Holmes award this evening :)

Only because I do everything from the iPad and I have the same problem. It comes from dragging your finger over either the "c,v,b,n,m". It is supersensitive and I always have to go back and remove those extra letters
 
Nice article. Sadly, I have a version of them in our remodeled house! We picked these wavy handles for our second kitchen and entertainment center. They look like these:

Look fine, right? Now put them horizontally on each cabinet and take a look and you think all of the are sloped in the direction of the end wave! That is, if the final twist is pointing down, it looks like the entire handle is crooked. I will try to take a picture and show next time we are down there (it is our vacation house).
 
LOL that must had been annoying :)
And yeah I can get a sense of it from the silver one, ah makes you wonder if the designer had a fiendish sense of humour :)
Thanks

Just to add I never knew that the MC Escher/Penrose staircase drawings worked in real life as shown by the dice, pretty superb.
