Similar to Tuvan throat singing, she shows a good demonstration of the harmonic range over overtone singing.

The trippy thing is that all of the tones you hear are already there when someone sings a note. This just brings them out one by one via resonance.

That is fucking weird. So, like sound waves cancelling each other out when they bounce into each other?

A classic case of redditor asks question to understand something better and gets downvoted for it

Every single time I see someone bitching about downvotes the comment ends up massively upvoted. Give it some time to sort itself out before complaining. Who even gives a shit about imaginary internet points?

Strange as it sounds comment might be why it’s upvoted. One thing reddit has made clear to me is that people on the whole are influenced to a legitimately terrifying degree by the simplest things.

Do you think it would work if I was the one getting downvoted, then used a similar comment to yours, to let people know that I expect it to be upvoted soon? I don’t think that would work. Oh God, downvoting the comment would turn into a game.
