Patently false. Are you really going to tell me that when the announcers talk about the added sound on the tee shots on PGA broadcasts that they are lying?

Do you really believe that hock pucks make a swooshing sound in real life?

Do you really think that a made basket sounds like a cork popping?

What color is the sky in your world?



I never claimed that what Marsh said was altered. I said that the capability existed to do so and that sound sweetening had been done in other sports. Both true statements.
Ah, the capability exists. Certainly it does, but it is not used to change the sounds of the game.

Why would it be?

The sound may be easier to hear at home, espeically in theater set-ups and and more sophisticated systems..

But it is not changed.

The swoosh at the tee is what you would hear standing next to Tiger.
The same for the ball going through the basket it you were sitting underneath, although you contend it sounds like a cork popping? Maybe you are a lush.

I don't know what hockey games you watch...but the sound of the sticks hitting the ice and the puck, and the skates, the puck hitting the glass and the pipes, the players crashing into the boards are all what you hear at a game....but the "swoosh of a Puck? Are you serious?
