Except in your own video that depends on it "actually" sounding like Tick Tock to make the case
It doesn't. The tick tock effect will stand or fall no matter what I say about it. Science is like that. I get it you don't like the ticking in the video. Fair enough, point taken. Nothing I can do about it now, but I disagree when you say it is misleading. I appreciate your feedback, but respectfully disagree. If everyone gave me the same feedback I'd change it, but they don't.
And you said that if I provided proof that it doesn't then "I might have something". I provided such proof, and now we are somehow back to the particular tick-tock sound in the particular video. You seem to discard the proof saying that because they used the passive voice, it must me incorrect. I offered to provide a peer reviewed journal for your perusing pleasure, and now you are pinning your case on the particular tick-tock sound in the video, which is entirely beside the point, as far as the validity of the tick tock effect goes. I'll ask again, though.... Is there any proof I could provide to sway your opinion?
165.0 ... The entire section is funnier and sadder at the same time.
YOU don't hear Tick-Tock
I don't mean to be frustrating., but I can hear a tick tock, or not, in each of the examples. Just because I said that the there wasn't an actual tick-tock doesn't mean I can't hear one. In fact, that would kinda go counter to my whole position. In each case, you asked a question. In the single tone, you asked if I heard a tick tock. I did. In my video, you asked if it was a single tick. I answered. No inconsistency here - just responding to the question at hand. It is yes to all of them.
Any listener can make up their own mind about whether the ticking in the video is, in reality a tick or a tick tock (Or, as it seems to me, something in between. Not a dual tone back-and-forth tick tock, but something that sounds like there is some 'play' in the system somewhat randomizing each actual tick sound...)
But not a solid tone, because that sorta sounds like Tick-tock too.
Kinda lost me here. Not entirely sure what you are saying.
