This is a booth where you can pay a nominal fee to generate a realistic simulation of echoing mountain valleys. But it only “sounds” like a huge echo, from where you stand. During your allotted time, you may sing, shout, and/or enjoy a therapeutic scream. It’s located in the city center, and probably in a few science museums.
Select a “destination”, and it’s displayed along with a carefully mapped echo of the spot. Choose sound effects, such as eagle call, wolves howling, whale song, etc. Sites include the Himalayas, Grand Canyon, the Marianas Trench, and Westminster Abbey.-- Amos Kito, Jul 23 2003 phor phoenix: EAX http://eax.creative.com/music/You might get a decent soundscape from this.

I did occasionally do some singing under bridges, but it's no longer considered safe, so I had to stop. *sigh* +-- k_sra, Jul 23 2003 Get a sound card that supports EAX and you can do this at your desk.-- phoenix, Jul 23 2003 <in marianas trench> Flubblebubblegarglewurble!!

I still occasionally scare grannies with a booming "DAYO...dayo" when biking under viaducts.-- FarmerJohn, Jul 23 2003 FJ: Aha - now we know what you do for a day job!-- DrCurry, Jul 23 2003 k_sra, is your singing really *that* bad? join the club.-- po, Jul 23 2003 [po], sigh. I'll never be a pop star...-- k_sra, Jul 23 2003 Correct [FJ].Go to the top of the class...or the foot of our stairs, whichever you prefer.-- squeak, Jul 25 2003 k_sra, you say that like its a bad thing. you're a star here anyway.-- po, Jul 25 2003 Thanks for the audiovisuals there, glenpa.-- thumbwax, Dec 06 2003 I dig this.-- futurebird, Dec 06 2003 random, halfbakery
