Does anyone notice how a lot of electronic appliances, whether it be a microwave, oven, or a wristwatch, have their beeps in the B note? I just now realized this, and I'm interewted in this. What are the implications of electronics beeping in B? Why is it like this, is it because it sounds very neutral, or at least appeasing? In any other note, it kinda sounds odd, and honestly after listening beeps in different pitches, B is the only one that sounds right for electronics to use.
Holy fuck
How, exactly, did you determine this?
Because I was using my microwave for a pizza, and then my watch beeped at the same time for a timer, and then i heard my microwave beep when it was done heating it up, and I got curious. Even the windows sticky key is in B.
The reason is simple. B = 1000 Hz
1024 is a commonly used multiple of 8. basically programmers are lazy and just put the note as 1024 Hz so basically B.
>t. lazy firmware programmer
This is the correct answer.
/thread
also drop this thread OP. there is nothing to this. stop looking into it.
they are beeps, not aeeps, ceeps, deeps, eeeps, feeps, geeps or even heeps.
They beep in A you retard
Maybe in your shithole.
learn tones nagger golem
rubbish they are all in Cb not B
They all use the same basic paizo speaker.
>schizo thread?
"B"ump
Weird/interesting if true. Hope someone shares the answer.
In the US, the power grid operates at a frequency of 60hz. I imagine older appliances have buzzers and beepers that take advantage of this, and use various rectification tricks to get harmonics of 60hz. If you look at this chart you can see that this falls close to 'B'.
The newer devices probably just continue this trend. I'm just guessing here, that's the best I've got.
That beep is in the 4th or 5th octave or higher tho
Wrong flag
wristwatches use a 32768 Hz crystal clock
32768 / 16 = 2048
B6 is 1976
so it's not quite B but it's close
microwaves and other plugin electronics are probably emitting a multiple of 60Hz since that's the mains frequency
it's probably not exactly the same as the wristwatch

9000 is higher than 16000 I guess it has to do with my earbuds
it's probably aliasing. Woof your DAC must suck balls
Probably but I've never had any problems whatsoever. I guess I'll buy a new PC when I start listening to 20000Hz all night instead of music.
What's more important can those frequencies damage earphones ? Like crack the membrane, I don't detect anything now but I wonder
Bb is the peoples key
I just want another samsung.
60Hz A/C phase is between B and Bb, that's probably what you're hearing
Thanks, now I can sleep in peace!
I take back everything I ever posted about Samsungs being annoying, just minority
annoyed I bought 3 of them and didn't get to use them for their entire lifecycle.
It is the 2Khz tone.
Or something similar.
It is just easy to repoduce with simple electronics electronics and became a standard. For other reasons as well.

The inflation is making me horny.
It cheeps in 'C' and beeps in 'B.'
Because "beep" starts with b! 😀
I just recoded my microwave, and it’s 1999 Hz, nice:
I’m now going to do research on frequencies and sounds, thank you frens!
