The Stake Out
2Digest
The Sound Detectives podcast episode follows Hunch and Otty as they investigate a missing sound from the Museum of Sound, potentially linked to Lavar. Otty's stakeout yields a clue related to computer circuitry. Lavar's voicemail provides an alibi, but the detectives analyze the mystery sound, eventually connecting it to Hunch's art studio and oil paints. A segment explores how the brain processes sounds during sleep. Hunch's zoo dream leads to the initial misidentification of the sound as orangutan flatulence, a theory investigated at the zoo. After comparing sounds and a snack break, the detectives realize the culprit is a ketchup bottle, explained by a material scientist. However, Lavar's voicemail reveals another sound theft, introducing a new mystery sound (a low-pitched sound) for listeners to solve.
