The telephone ringing in Zeppelin's "The Ocean". Can YOU hear it?
« on: March 20, 2014, 12:32:00 PM »
Dicky was over a few nights ago and we were listening to tunes. I heard a telephone ring twice at around the 1:20 mark of Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean". He couldn't hear it. I did half a dozen rewinds to assure myself that I wasn't having an auditory hallucination.

Then I googled it. Sure enough, Wikipedia states that there's a faint studio telephone ring that can be heard twice around the 1:20-ish mark in the song.

I think it'd be interesting to see who can / can't hear it.

Aaaaaaaaaand......... GOOOOOOOO!  ???  ???  8)

It's definitely there, unless it's all a mirage caused ny running a high end Onkyo through an 8802 into a pair of Klipsch...

In my defense I hear phones for 10 hours a day, so I have learned to ignore that sound.

I can hear it at about 1:38 into the song.   I have the 4 disc set with the crop circle on the front.

Yeah. Mine is actually at about 1:28. I think the timing depends on when they actually begin and end the
tracks.

I was listening on "The Complete Studio Recordings" set.

Which system were you listening on?

Hey guys just stumbled upon this thread, seemed to be up my ally, I love picking things out in recordings.  Can someone maybe put the lyrics directly after/before/during the part where the telephone comes thru?  I listened thru twice but couldn't find it.  I am though listening thru an iPod with crappy jack that cuts in and out, as I don't have a real recording .  Let me know. I'm interested I'm finding it , thanx
