Sound Clip 2. — The basic sound is Robert Williams famous “Gooood Morning Vietnaaamm!!”, from Barry Levinsons's movie Good Morning, Vietnam (1987). It is repeated thrice, with one second pauses in between. You will hear: the straight sound, the sound with periodic interruptions, the sound with the interruptions filled with noise. The interruptions interfere with the intelligibility of the speech, but when filled with noise the speech flows as if not interrupted, “behind” the noise cracks so to speak. The track at top show the original sound. The reddish bars show the occurences of pauses (center track) or noise bursts (bottom track). Please click to play.
