RBW sniffing sound

[Jarvio]

The sniffing sound on RBW... what is it? It's very annoying. I'm trying to appreciate the music yet at the same time I'm constantly exposed to a "light sneeze".

 

[God Part III]

I kinda like it. No idea what it actually is, but I feel it fits the song.

 

[269er]

It's a wolf. Duh

It's 'vocal effects' - credited to Declan Gaffney, though it sounds like Bono to me. I imagine the process of generating the effect was Gaffney's

[gareth brown]

makes me think of Tour De France by Kraftwerk to an extent

 

[Max_theHitman]

A sneeze?
I don´t hear no sneeze on my record.
You probably got the special disc version with the "nasal mucosa remix"

 

[LemonMelon]

Pitchfork referred to it as one of the highlights of the record.

Because Pitchfork.

Literally just someone sniffing and making a vocal sound through a delay. I don't like it either.

When I burned a mix of the download to listen to in the car, I just used Soundforge to snip that sniffing intro out of it

 

[mikal]

It sounds like the kind of noises you'd hear coming from my bedroom. I like it.

This stupid breathing noise is pretty much the entire reason why I don't rate Raised By Wolves particularly highly.

Just read my above comment and listen to the song again.

It's something different from them, which is almost always welcome.

 

[Scorpionac]

It's great. I don't know why, but I love it. An interesting texture.

It's a wolf on coke.

 

[Aardvark747]

This doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Suddenly even California's intro seems better by comparison!

It's a wolf on coke.

Spoiler

Completely agree. I think it's one of the best parts of the song.

 

[last unicorn]

Come on, it's clearly a reference to wolves.


That or Bono was having a cold that day.

 

[Hewson]

It's a wolf on coke.

 

[gvox]

It's a wild boar rummaging his dirty snout through a decaying deer's carcass. A camouflaged hunter no older than eleven with a rusted spear lies in wait for the perfect moment to launch his missile and three malnourished wolves lurk nearby, listening for the confused screams of their soon to be wounded prey..for while the boy is proficient with his spear, he has forgotten the knife he needs to finish the kill, nor has he even the courage necessary to dispatch the boar and will have to run back to the village to enlist the help of his father and brothers. And when he does - the wolves will move in. And the wolves will eat well, this night.

Was odd upon first listen, don't mind it now.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's an influenza rewrite

Breathing in
Sneezing out
Tissues I can't do without
A nose to spray it on your clothes
Amplify the "thar he blows!"
Whenever in company
And not a loner
Don't wipe on arm
Or aim at Boner
