'Everyone Knows That' is so much CLOSER to being FOUND? Here's Why! 

EARLY GANG

it's gonna be so funny when we finally get the real name of the song and it's been on youtube for like 12 years sitting with ~1,000 views Edit as of 30th of april 2024: I fucking called it

I think it was a stock song made by professionals, because the equipment used - Linndrum - was waaay too expensive for amateurs. It also sounds really polished, which is another characteristic of music industry professionals.

Either: - EKT was a song that played off one of those cds people used to use to clean their cd slots for boomboxes or similar items. I had one as a child and they would play a song while you waited for the disk to be cleaned. - Or it was a sample that developers used to test all of their features on lindrum or some mixing program.

Imagine how the internet will react when EKT gets found.

Also id like to mention something. in the sample we have you can hear carl92 eating a chip. its faint, but you can hear a slight crunch Edit: I left the search. Don't use my theory Another edit: JESUS HAROLD CHRIST OH MY GOD WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL I WAS LOOKING FOR A SONG USED IN A PR0N

Carl's having the worst day of his life

The person who finds this song should deserve like $10k because millions of people are looking for it

Idk if anyone tried but I sent requests to two Facebook groups of elderly music lovers and answered the questions by saying "I want to ask about an unknown song and then some unknown songs" and stated that I won't post frequently, one of them accepted me for now. Ok, that was unexpected. They don't accept questions in that group, but they accepted me. I hope at least one person recognizes EKT.

I don't have any leads or anything to contribute other than just having this really weird(??) and strong feeling "Everyone Knows That" will definitely be found between mid-2024 to early 2025. Last time I had this feeling, ""How Long Will it Take?" was found.

Imagine if Carl92 came back and said "nvm i found it" 😂

Theres a Japanese movie titled "Ulterior Motives" that is quite literally about that. Moreover, since "Everyone Knows That" is a song from the 1980s to 1990s and this movie was released in 1993, there may be a connection. Movies usually feature songs that are specifically created for a certain scene, intro, outro, etc.; there may not even be a full version of this song; it may just be a short song made for a specific scene. Considering that the movie is in Japanese and that you mentioned that even songs that aren't in English have English choruses, It could've been made for the movie then just scrapped before the official release. I think it further supports this theory.

Clare Grogan Theory: This song was made by hit Scottish 80's singer Clare Grogan on her canceled album, "Trash Mad." The album had two scrapped songs, one of which was released after it was scrapped, being "Love Bomb." The album was made in 1987, which fits in the 1982 to 1999 date. Plus, the voice really sounds like her in my opinion. Maybe EKT was the other scrapped song and got released separately too?

theory here - i’ve heard a lot of stories of peoples moms or dads hearing this song before, and a lot of them involve hearing it on tv. and because of the very commercialized sound of EKT, i think it’s possible EKT could be in a popular 80s-90s video editor. video editors like final cut pro have stock “jingles” built in to the software that have the same type of commercialization sound to it except more modernized. maybe archives of old versions of these video editors could be re-downloaded, and maybe there exists an extended or full version of the original song. this would also explain many people claiming to have heard this song before, as it’s very unlikely there was one single commercial or tv show or movie that used this song. i believe it had to be apart of some very old sample packs. i think there is hope for us to find the original because these sample packs had to be at least popular in the industry at that time.

Back in the 90's when I used to go nightclubbing at my regular haunt ..we got well in with the DJ's and they used to give us mix TAPES sometimes of the set they used and other times stuff they did for us .. the tapes had all sorts of music on them ..with little to NO chance of ever finding out the actual band/title unless the DJ made notes on the tape cover ..which NEVER happened .. This could be part of a DJ's set put onto a tape from way back when Also ,,many DJ's used snippets and samples of songs ..or even remixes of songs .. not often they would play one song all the way through it was usually mixed in with two or 3 songs ..

all i know is the first lyric bar sounds like "ゆかりの るしいいんですかい" which translates to "Is it nice to have a relationship with you?" This might be a clue, as it makes a lot of sense considering the song name is likely to be "Ulterior Motives" and the Japanese accent, and the fact that it sounds like it has something to do with relationships Hope this helps!!! i'm searching too EDIT:in another ekt video, someone responded that multiple japanese people have dismissed my theory

This song better be found by the end of this year otherwise I am going to cry.

The 17 second duration and the working hypothesis that this was recorded from a TV makes me think this could be a song for a commercial. I've found stuff incredibly similar in perfume ads, but no exact match yet.

A LOT of artists sign away their vocal likeness for some fast cash. It’s highly possible this was a random throwaway recording made with the intention of being used for music production sampling (vocal stems) by a local or lesser known artist or band, most likely non American because it’s so accented and carl92s location. This theory would be further supported by the fact that carl92 said their were other unrelated audios/samples vocal stems in other folders. It could’ve then been manipulated and passed around and eventually have made it to whatever carl92 recorded it off of. Though this would be really disappointing to me, this is a likely theory I’m leaning towards.

When I hear ETK, I get transported back to a memory of a playing with a musical plastic toy at my friend's house in the late 1990s/early 2000s. I think ETK might just be a short loop sample used on what might have been a Sound Bytes lolly pop, or a McDonald's toy, or possibly one of those weird music snippet cartridges that were around in the early 2000s. This could explain why there's only a short loop of music...

My best guess: It was from some really forgotten commercial nobody remembers and only aired on certain channels in Spain, maybe he wasn't looking at the TV and was preoccupied with something else.

It’s near impossible to be an arcade machine because arcade jingles were all made by pre-programmed notes from limited audio channels in the 80s and 90s.

I feel like the person that made the song knows about the mystery and doesn’t want to ruin the fun

POV: You go to every video about the song to type "it was found!"

I swear my mum has played the song to me before in the car when I was really young while going somewhere. When I heard the song for the first time I recognised it and it reminded me of that moment with my mum. I’m going to ask her next time I see her

I was thinking about the "Carl made it as a troll" theory, and, since it was from a set of old tapes, it could very well be a song Carl or a friend made, and shuffled it into the (unlabeled!) tapes along with other radio rips, and never released or found a widespread distributor for the song

1:14 It definitely came from a movie LMAO

Ok. I’m someone who was hugely into seeking out the most obscure new wave bands (especially international bands) in the 80s. I went clubbing a lot and I worked at a college radio station. In the 90s, I was an early adopter of video editing software and I was in a relationship with someone who developed music software. My very strong take is that it is a sample tutorial track for video or sound editing software that never made it past beta test in the early 90s, though it may have been floating about in some way or form before.

So, about this song, here is my opinion: 1- I think the theory about this song being sung by a male voice makes sense, since I found this youtube video with only the vocals of EKT ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GRaOp3CN3V8.htmlsi=wFz1GgsX0c_Oj7jF 2- I know this won't help in anything but I'm a native portuguese speaker, so this song is totally not sung in portuguese and very probably not spanish, I know that when people talk about this theory they are always talking about how the vocals language is from an asian country, but since Carl92 is from spain and it had lots of theories about this song being from a native spanish speaking country , I think that would help. 3- I really think this song was recorded from TV because all of that TV frequency history that it's found on the tape. This is only my opinion, I really hope that EKT is found because that is the only lost wave that I really cared about being found, something that makes me even more excited is how the biggest lost wave from my country was found (Fond my mind).

Unreleased demos aren’t always unreleased. There are tons of scrapped demos from many different bands flying around the internet.

Ybxrds Gaming: 'Everyone Knows That' will never be found Also Ybxrds Gaming: 'Everyone Knows That' is so much closer to being found

Has anyone tried just, brute forcing the search with a program? The technology to detect a certain song in an audio file is there, and the technology to scrape every single audio file on the internet is there, so it should be possible to just scan through everything to make sure it's not actually somewhere on the internet. This would need a lot of computers of course but it could be very useful if multiple people are running this program.

I hope 2024 will be the year that EKT gets found

This song sounds like a start of a movie when a character gets out of bed to the alarm ringing and tired picks up a phone idk why

In the 80s, a friend played a record he had of a song from a radio station contest. Each year they’d have a band contest and the winner would get their song recorded, played on the radio, and a stack of singles made. When I first learned of this song, that is what came to mind. Some random one off that got played on the radio and someone recorded it. If the NTSC TV part is true, and it was not from radio or someone digitizing a similar CD or whatever, that takes me back to commercials and production libraries.

there's also the possibility of the everyone knows that song, to have a title not related to the lyrics like many songs that dont have the lyrics in the title like bohemian rhapsody its the name of queen song but bohemian rhapsody its not on the lyrics, just a example of what i mean

"the menu screen of a 90's movie" we were still using VHS into the early 2000's LOL.

The real name of everyone knows that probably has something to do with lies because in the song you can tell that it is about lies so the song can be called lies or world of lies, or something like that if it’s called lies that might actually make it harder because that’s that is probably already used many times.

Imagine after all this we found out that this song is famous and no.1 80s charts in alternate universe but somehow manage to get thru our universe

it might seem crazy what im bout to say...

This is a good video but here one thing i disagree with - the song being faked and made by carl92. This song is pretry well produced, i wouldn't think that carl92 would produce something like that unless he had some background with music making, another thing is if carl did make this song... Why halfway through the search did he stop helping out in the investigation, losing interest in the whole thing. Why would HE lose interest in something he possibly created? I just dont think the whole idea is possible imo.

Hey man I know how you’ve been struggling recently with the results of this search but I want you to know I’ve been listening! From your videos, you keep my hopes up, so continue to keep yours up! It’s fascinating hearing the different theories from you and I just wanted to wish good luck to the whole community in finding this amazing song!

I have another theory: The file date for the sample was tampered with, but the song is not fake. The song might actually come from the very early 2000s and the file date is possible to be 2000-2004. The reason for the tampering? Attracting more attention. Or possibly just somebody trying to pull a prank on Carl after he told them that he's gonna search for the song. The song might also come from the 70s, considering the fact some 70s songs sound similar, however this is doubtful as the synthesizer used is assumed to come from 1982.

But if carl92 recorded off it an arcade machine, then why wouldn't he just record the full music off the machine?

A theory that I had commented on a different video talking about this, was that “Savage Garden” (an Australian band) had recorded this song but had never of been released to the public. EKT could’ve possibly been written by Savage Garden, produced, filmed and handed out on the streets for free by a paid seller hired by the band. A few years after that had happened, the DVD could’ve been sold in a garage sale to Carl. Carl then had probably forgotten about the DVD years later and found it while learning to record audio from a TV. This was a little bit of a stretch of a theory, but I’m just trying to do anything that’ll progress the search for this song.

OMGG I WAS SINGING AND THEN MY MOM STARTS SINGING BACK AND THEN I SAID TO HER YOU KNOW THAT SONG ? AND THEN SHE SAID YEAH IS FROM THE 80'S

One thing I am thinking is that, since so many people have stated it sounds like some sort of advertisement and it was recorded from a tv that maybe it can be a PSA❓The lyrics seem to be about some sort of manipulative relationship and PSA’s go lost all of the time. It would also make sense since the clip we have is so short.

The thing about the demo theory that wasn't said, is that it could possibly have been in a library for shows or commercials to buy at low cost. Carl may have heard it on tv/radio from some repeating commercial, waited for that commercial to come back on again and grabbed the audio of it during a moment when only the song can be heard. Commercials usually use some "catchy" song to get your attention and EKT gives off those vibes. I'm not saying there's no way for it to not be its own fully fledged song, just giving a better explanation for the demo theory.

In addition, there are other speculations that EKT might be released in the Philippines. I think this speculation was posted in Reddit last year IIRC.

The song is definitely real. Showed the sample to my mom, and she said she remembers being a little girl peeking in her aunt's room with this playing on the TV. She said it was a Band and the lead singer had blonde hair that was spikey. I think this is a lost rare song for the 70s/80s and it might only be found on CD's unless someone with the CD uploaded on RU-vid and it got very little attention explaining why it hasn't be found. Hoping we find it soon.

About 4 years ago I created a fake daft punk inspired track and posted it to RU-vid as a leak. In the description I wrote up a lengthy in depth two paragraph explanation as to how I got my hands on the file and made sure I left no plot holes. Some people believed it some people didn’t. I did this just because. I was bored and wanted to see what would happen. When I rebranded my RU-vid channel I privated the video. I think Carl was just like me. He was bored, created a song reminiscent of something that really would exist, and posted online acting oblivious to the fact that the song was fake, just to see how much chaos he could create.

every day this man makes my day

ATTENTION EVERYONE THE SONG HAS BEEN FOUND AND IS FROM A MOVIE TITLED “angels of passion” PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THIS SO THE NEWS IS SPREADED

It’s weird to think that somewhere, there’s a cd sitting in someone’s garage just collecting dust forgotten about that would be the answer we’re looking for but for now all we can do is wait

I think part of what makes this search so hard is just how similar many 80s (new wave/electronic) artists sound. With the same sound effects and vocal tones among other things; but I guess that’s gonna happen during the age of synths. Like I can think of one artist who the voice sounds like, such as Boy George (Culture Club), but also five others. I really think this song has that 80s new wave feel (that was especially prominent in Europe I’d say) but that really doesn’t help narrow anything down.

you can’t just put “everyone knows that” and “found” in the same title… that made me jump 😅. anyways, here are some of my takes on ekt (yap warning 😭) 1) it’s definitely real imo. we found the drums and it’s a drum kit from the 80s that stopped being made. this is proof to me that this is real because it being a genuine 80s song seems much more likely than carl having drums from decades ago lying around. it pretty sad to me that in this modern age of ai people are starting to doubt songs are real much more quickly. it really holds back the search. don’t give up so quickly y’all! 2) it’s an unreleased song/demo. unreleased songs do end up on tv, take it from hlwit that was unreleased and ended up in a movie. iirc fond my mind was also unreleased and played during a news broadcast, and was only found just recently because someone held onto their tape of it. i don’t know if i can speak confidently because i’m far from an 80s kid and i don’t watch a lot of tv, but i’d say unreleased songs ending up on tv somehow is definitely possible. 3) not a commercial. sure it sounds jingle-y but i’d never in my life except to hear a song in a commercial with such weird lyrics. not saying it’s entirely impossible, but i highly doubt it. i really appreciate these videos because it compiles a lot of people’s ideas. it’s a great alternative to scrolling through reddit and youtube comments lol. good job on the video as always : >.

something about lost media and specifically this song makes me so uneasy and gives me chills

Near me in the UK there's an amusement arcade (slot machines and suchlike) by the water. I walked past it one day in late 2022 and there was a really catchy, cool song emanating from the building. I noted down some of the lyrics on my phone and went on with my day with a plan to Google it later. Googled the lyrics and couldn't find the damn song. It's just not there, but again, it too sounded like it was from the 1980s. The song was a catchy number and said something like "I'm your machine, put your penny in my slot" or suchlike. Never been able to find it. I again wonder if it was a bespoke song for an amusement arcade environment?

I feel like the song is a parody of lost media with the lyrics-

what a crazy place to found a song.

Hate to be off-topic, but I think the first two animations you used in this video were part of YTV's "Short Circuit" interstitial series that aired back in the mid-90's in Canada.

I would suggest reading this whole paragraph of sorts. (my comment got deleted???) (Don't delete this pls) So some leads, Apparently the drums use a Linn LM 1 or 2 Series. Due to how short the lifespan of the Linn LM-1/LM-2 was and its company, I could say it was produced around the early 80s. The early 80s fact is backed up by knowledge that the music producers of TTTE used a Linn LM-1 for all the drum tracks all the way back in 1984. The arcade machine theory isnt entirely out of the question, cause a claw machine in a resturant that used to be in my town would play a short, looping clip of Jennifer Lopez's hit "On the Floor". The synths use an 80s Yahama Synthesizer (the exact one is unknown), so try looking for catchy, synthy pop songs using a Yahama Synthesizer. If the 1999 date is correct and not an error, try looking into CD's. If it is an error, look into vinyls. (YT don't delete this comment i swear) So if you see this, heart my comment. Plus "Everyone Knows That" is a CODENAME. That is not the title of the song. (YT/Ybrdxs this isnt spam) Good luck, System. (I heard it gets noticed if you say the YTs name 3 times.) (ybxrdsgaming, ybxrdsgaming, ybxrdsgaming)

For the arcade theory, maybe not arcades but home consoles, because all I could think about is the infamous short, extremely low quality music loop from Hong Kong 97 on SNES. that wasn't a song made for the game but rather a sample of a real chinese song, but then again that wasn't a commercial game... but it is something to think about

the song is called Ulterior Motives

I’m sure this has been mentioned, along the line, but if this song was recorded off TV in 1999, there’s a possibility the station was tuned to (we called it) Music Choice which usually would have a black screen with the title listed on the bottom. I just cannot see this as from a commercial. Unless it was an actual video (still think it’s somewhere in a jem episode). If it was a commercial the duration is such it would be really hard to get voice over in. Meaning it must be from a station ir video.

Ok so I was at bel air and this song sounded so similar to what I heard at the store. Me and my sister were in the chip aisle to get a snack til a song started to play. I paused my sister and we were listening closely to the song. The intro sounded so alike!! As it played my sister said it sounded so familiar. Idk but it was such a unreal experience.

I honestly think this song might be hidden in a show from the 90s with a fictional band that make original music like “California Dreams”

I have a kind of believable theory to what happened: it could possibly be a song from a film an old one in the 80s that is not as well known as the classics. The song wouldn’t show up in searches because some films have specific non copyright songs made specially for them. It could just be a song made for a movie in the background and someone had the files for it and recorded it.

Thank you for doing what you do! The more eyes and ears we get on this and avenues we explore, even unfruitful ones, the closer we get to finding it! 💪

the only time i’ve seen music being so hard to trace is w stock music. a great example of this is finding the full version of the snippet of selena gomez’s “come and get it.” the sample was a very popular desi song sung by many singers called “peera ho” however the version sampled by selena gomez was rlly hard to find. the reasoning was because it was a stock song. if this song can be found online it’s probably a stock song.

I asked my dad what he thinks regarding the song snippet. I would like to note my father was born in '55 and is pushing 70 (he's 68 as of posting this comment.) Here's what he thinks: He believes it's a foreign singer from the late 60s-70s around the era of disco. He believes the song has a disco vibe to it based on his experience of going to clubs. It may not be the 80s or 90s as previously believed because the 80s music genre changed frequently therefore not being able to piece it into a specific part of the 80s. Also the late 90s music theory may not be possible because in the 90s, the big thing was hiphop and such. The song has a more older sound that doesn't fit anywhere in the 80s-90s. He also believes the vocals are a female with a deeper vibrato. The vocals are more feminine, not having a lot of strong masculine sounds to the pronunciation of certain words. Now as for what he believes the snippet is? He thinks it may be a demo that never made it onto an album. Artist wise? He's unsure of who it may be. He does however mention he had a friend who was foreign AND big into music who had a voice just like the one in the snippet. Sadly though that friend isn't around anymore for she had a h3roine addiction and passed on.

Great vid! I think one of the most realistic theories is was sn unpopular band handing out there song in malls and and things for free!

I’m making a AI model to compare the frequencies with others in the time period and also made in the last 20 years, my method will only work if it’s posted in some music forums or some where buried in the WWW , if it’s not online at all then the model will figure out, although this search is very extensive and can take a couple weeks to finish

My theory : the song was on the web it just got deleted or not archived

im not sure that it is from a sample library. It sounds like too much of an advanced song to be in a sample library. Most library music is usually very basic and simple music. But you could bew right though. I haven't really looked through many sample libraries so I don't really have a say in this.

Man, you're not gonna believe this... They found the original song, go see on the subreddit

now that we found it, you should do one love

Interesting video. I'm sure somebody's probably mentioned this at some point, but i'm a bit confused how the DVD and original poster were from Spain, but there's an NTSC pilot tone on the clip, as TV in Spain wasn't NTSC, it was PAL.

I hope this song is by Off Course and that it’ll be found very very soon this year because not only will it bring a lot of fame to the song, but the band will get much more attention because they’re an awesome and very underrated band.

Carl had his hands on it for sure.

I hope someone finds it cuz it’s such a bop

This is a theory from my mum she was born in 1972 and she thinks it might be from the australian band Wa Wa Nee and that it could be a demo or an unreleased song but were not sure

I don't have time to watch the full thing now, but it's going to be at the top of my Watch Later playlist 👍

I have some theories that kinda kill off the whole idea the song exists but its worth considering • EKT could be a demo like he said but like a really SHORT demo like maybe the track was just meant to be a short demo/concept for a song and they only made those lyrics and they just produced that small bit to get a feel for what the song sould be but for whatever reason it got forgotten or unused. • maybe the song went unfinished because the original artist couldve died or smth really unfortunate happened to them that lead to the song never seeing a full release or anything. (Or maybe they just realized they werent into making music anymore) • maybe it was never actually lost or anything. He made a point that thats a possibility but maybe it was some song they made to start a convorsation. Maybe its not for a selfish reason like to "promote their indie music" or whatever but maybe it was created just to build community and have people work together with the same kinda goal. Which is a nice idea since it seems like people dont really do teamwork like that anymore. *these are just ideas guys i know my theories could easily be shot down and im not really using any real evidence here im just jotting down my internal thoughts and theories aboutvthis song from the things ive learned about it. Take it seriously or dont i dont care im just giving my thoughts and opinions. Just keep ur minds open!*

It would be really funny if this song was just AI generated and people think that they have heard it before (kinda like a Mandela effect)

For me, I had a theory it might’ve been from one of those royalty-free websites. That might explain why it’s hard to find the original source, a very small amount of people even credit the sources. Why use a microphone to record it then? Because some royalty free websites require you to pay money (for some reason?) or make an account. For me, I don’t like making accounts for websites I’m only going to use once or twice.

I just found out about this song and although many people are saying it’s some sort of stock song, why is it so out of tune? The whole world adopted a new tuning system so that A4 would equal to 440 Hz, but in the beginning of the clip of the song the bass line sounded like a really flat Eb, which put into a tuner would be perfectly in tune if the song were to be tuned to 415 Hz which shouldn’t be a mistake, why is it so out of tune and whoever made this song must’ve done it on purpose right?

it sounds like its a hardware store jingle " you're counting all the shears inside(or in stock),caught up in a world of Lines(or wires),everyone knows it,you got,interior motors,coming on through,everyone chose it(us)" thats what it atleast sounds like to me after hearing the isolated vocals lol

my mom heard that song in brazil because whe live here BUT my mom went to paraguay in the 80's she said me and and she tell me that she buy tv and other stuff to her SOO probally she could heard that on car radio or in the store of the eletronics that she buy and both some clothing and ulterior motives is an brand of clothing on 80's SOOO SHE COULD HEARD THAT ON STORE edit : she went to paraguay in the 1989 or 1990 edit 2 : some parts of paraguay they talk spanish

i was thinking, what is the found snippet isnt even the chorus? maybe that makes it harder to find, idk how this would help but i just thought of it

i strongly think lyrics are: "You counting all the sheep in the sky Caught up in a whirl of lies Everyone knows that she's got ulterior motives Tell me the truth Every move shows"

could be from the person who made “counting in your sleep” as it does sound like the same beat, which makes the EKT be probably inspired or made around the same time as counting in your sleep.

This is amazing on how people are willing to look for some lost media to save it. Im mostly on the two theories. One it was never saved on the internet due to how old it is and must be on a physical recorder like dvd u mention or a cassettes tape or something like that. Two its is in another language that just so happens to have some english choruses in it. There is so many songs that have languages mixed it. Thanks for the update!

It sounds like an old Chuck E. Cheese song you know, like something that would play in an animatronic pizzeria right?

I don’t think it’s fake and i think it’s worth looking everywhere for this song and its details. But, realistically, a full version might never be found, because it could have been made for an advertisement or a sample. Carl might’ve heard it on TV on a small gig or ad or something and recorded it. Also since the song was in the 1980’s/1990’s the band might well be disbanded / the singer passed away. I honestly don’t think it was for an arcade or real life gadget. I really hope we can find it all because it’s a BANGER.

Anyone go watch an episode of Brookside( British soap opera 80s 90s early 00s) In this they have a nightclub. This tune has definitely been played in this soap opera or the music played there is very very similar! Have a look for yourself. I personally think this is the song in its entirety it’s just a sound bite for a scene. Well my opinion anyway. Go have a look

I hear george michael, Wham! Did commercials and promos with their own special 15-30 sec songs for the commercials in japan, im sure theres some archived and unreleased, this is prolly one

I saw a theory somewhere that Carl has the full song but dosent want to release it. Idk how I feel about this because what would be the point

my step dad recognized this song from a very old anime called “ Crusher Joe” it’s a weird but interesting anime. doubt this will be seen but there is ur answer. i checked on youtube and it barely has any views

i think it was recorded by someone on an audio recorder, as you can hear crackling in the song which makes me think it was Carl92 (or even someone that isn't him) moving his recorder around, or slight movement that was picked up by the recorder.
