As I get my 3 oldest kids ready for the first day of school today I had a devine thought.. I was thinking back to when I was flying yesterday and a one of those preteen helium suckers, you know the ones almost, shattered my eardrums or at least my speakers as he was yelling into the mike. This voice was so high pitched that I could only understand every 3rd or 4th word because the rest would just cut out. :eek:
So I think to myself, if my kids are going to school now I hope some of these pilots that obviously talk in the hypersonic range of bats will be doing the same. :)
P.S. I'm not a kid hater but some of you guys have to know where I'm coming from right. )

Permanent squelch lists could solve so many issues. We've been asking for years.
So many times... you adjust your volumes so your squadmates sound great then some young kid comes on and blows out your ears , or half the air traffic controls fighting over being the 1st to call out every con they see scream with excitement rather then talk normal. Lets not mention the guys thats sound like their mic is in their mouth and decide talking louder will fix the issue rather than moving it.
-
As a Squad we have a rule that your not allowed to join until your bollox drop, or 18, which ever comes first!!!
-
Is it me, or do all the kids same like the same person? Something about the high voice comes through scratchy and broken, and sounds the same.
Its funny, but as much as I hated this time of year when I was a kid, I love it now just as intensely.

.squelch....they dont give check 6's anyway

Doesn't Silat have a high frequency vox filter he keeps offering to sell?
:lol :lol
-
Musicians use device called "pitch transposer" . It can manipulate different pitch frequency's in all sorts of ways. They cost like 800.00 or something. Maybe all the little munchkins should use one of these. :D Actually that little guy I think his name is everett sounds exactly like one of the other kids. I think he has two computers. :lol One he uses for his bomber runs and another he uses to escort them in a fighter. :lol I like the little kids that know the game well. Its nice to see them having fun. They are often quite a chuckle.
Doesn't silat use the frequency thing to get pitch of his voice to sound right when he's wearing that dress he likes so much.:D JK silat.

That was hilarious, Flayed1. Preteen helium suckers. Comedy gold.
Actually I need a new set of headphones because a high-pitcher blew out one of my speakers. And they do break up a lot worse than lower register voices. Must be the 8-bit stream. Too bad there's not a leveler in the preamp.

Funny I've thought the same thing. It's always another name, but the voice is the same..........:noid

My wife told me last night I needed hearing aids, and that she thinks it due to playing the game with head phones. I told her I didn't know what she meant. Apparently she talks to me some times and I don't hear her. I bet it's really these preteen helium suckers doing my ears in.

warning boring post coming.
This is not uncommon phenomenon. I knew a couple that were having severe problems over this and their family doc was smart enough to have them both take hearing tests. It turned out that both of them had 'good' hearing but their voices just happened to be in a frequency range that the other had difficulty hearing when they weren't directly communicating. While I'm not dismissing the possibility of ear damage from wearing headphones for extended periods of time particularly if the volume is up and you get constant screeches but just something I thought I'd point out.
My hearing is damaged from spending way to many years as a club jock therefore my family knows to be sure to have my undivided attention when they talk to me.

(Bow heads please)
OH, Skuzzy..
Bless thine work, for it brings me hours of enjoyment...
All I ask, OH Skuzzy, is that you bring about, in our small world, the "Eterna-Squelch".....
....The ability to squelch the audio of those so obnoxious, FOREVER, with a squelch list box that is likewise endless.
It IS within your given java and application development skills, OH gifted one...
For mine ears have been damaged FAR less by leaning against the speakers at a Rob Zombie concert than the shriekeing 2800 Hz "check 6" from a hoard of prepubecent helium-suckers that inhabit the game every summer like cockroaches in the garbage bin behind Burger King.
Grant me this simple prayer, OH Skuzzy!
Amen

This is not an uncommon phenomenom because it is caused by marriage.

HAHA, I have the EXACT same guideline...
All my guys know the official rule is 18... But the actual rule is 'No Skweeky kids'
I think our youngest is 16, but he's got his big kid voice, he can stay. I turned away one of his friends.
I shouldn't need tylenol just to play AH. Just getting shot down hurts enough, I don't need someone screaming a check six on a frequency only my dog reacts to... "Whats that Lassy? Joe12year old said 'check six'?"

That reminds me of the Monty Python sketch when one wants to report a bulgury (sp?) where just one person will understand you if they speak in a deep voice, high voice, singing voice, etc.....

Some sound like agitated Daleks - sucking helium. SAVE YOUR DROP TANKS!! ALL BUILDINGS MUST BE EXTERMINATED!!

Yea the 12 yr old Air Vice Marshalls are like finger nails on Chalk boards no doubt! I have become quite adept at typing .squelch. I do become very amused when these little Goerings start barking out their tactical solutions and orders.:rofl

Speaking purely objectively, and without regard to the pitch on vox. The quality of EVERY online game goes dramaticly down during the summer, and then rises during the winter months, with things reverting somewhat during the weekends.
And for everyone wondering, "Was I like that when i was 12?" the answer is, you absolutely were.

Just because you're too old and the alzheimers stops you from remembering, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Permanent squelch is a must!!!!
Gunit has come along way and is quite amusing in his own way but there are many more worse than him Miner101 tops my itchy squelch finger.
Maybe we can get some sort of list together send them to skuzzy and get their vox taken away or an addition to the squelch voice option like
report for screeching.

I was playing one night without the headphones, using the sweet set of speakers I have and one of these kids got on yelling and carrying on. The wife asked me to check around the house for a wild cat.

Hmmm - funny, but I've noticed this phenomenon elsewhere...
Have you guys ever noticed - no matter what strip club you go to, all the DJ's sound exactly like the same guy ?
Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Dallas, Daytona, Atlanta, Denver, Phoenix, San Diego, Tampa, Seattle etc. - you name it - it always sounds like the exact same guy - also, they always look the same - it's always this short stocky white dude with an impeccable mullet & tux with complementary goatee - with a wireless mic around his head.
"Ok you guys- but your 'ands together for JEEEEEENNNNAAAA !!!!"
It might just be me, but I always find the DJs always have this very slight French Canadian accent.... A conspiracy perhaps ? Is Canada trying to infiltrate the entire Gentleman's Club industry in North America ?

Planned, saw a similar one about squeaker season ending and decided to show that even though time marches on, we're still singing the same tune.
