I heard the melody on the first sample. I think you are extremely clever to use your voice in this way.

I must say, this page, test, and the samples solved my long-lasting confusion. When hearing chords or harmonics, I always hear some high pitch notes that doesn’t exist in that chord or harmony, like when hearing a major 3rd(C E), I could always hear a octave E instead the actually E. When it comes to other chords, I could always hear other notes in it. For example, I sometimes recognize a triad as a 7th chord or 9th chord, because I could hear a much higher note ringing above the chord . Especially when it comes to low pitch chords, there are so many other notes in my ear that confused me. I guess its because lower pitch has longer overtone series. Turns out I’m a overtone listener. That solves so many problems! I wonder if you have any suggestions for music productions(mixing e.g), ear training, etc. thank you

In reply to God.

Hello God,

the point is, that everybody starts hearing the melody of “Ode to Yoy” at some point of the experiment, although nowhere a tone is changed.

Your comment suggests that you don’t hear the melody. The case has not yet occurred. You’d be the first of thousands by now not to notice the melody.

So it’s six samples of nonsense singing? What’s the point of this?

Comment on Test: Are you an overtone or fundamental listener? by Joel

In the song example I have recognised the melody in the first track. But in the Schneider test I’m a balanced listener.

I’m a composer and flute player. In the last two years I have been practising overtone singing.

LOL, this just made me find with little bit of SoundHound help that Blondie “call me” is probably plagiarism! Thank you for this excellent article.

Dear Wolfgang,
I am glad to see you and Michael collaborate in this new composition which is very attractive based on the attempt of using modes and tonalities created by the modification of harmonic series
With my best wishes for this creation

In reply to Tobi. Hallo Tobi, ich habe öfter die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Kinder, die Töne nicht vom Klavier abnehmen können, sogenannte "Brummer", es dann sofort können, wenn man ihnen die Töne in ihrem eigenen Klang und in ihrer Tonhöhe vorsingt, anstatt sie vom Klavier zu spielen. Wenn man dann zunächst langsam den Tonumfang vergrößert, lernen sie recht schnell, präzise die Töne zu treffen.
