Hey, ever wondered if those EVP recordings could just be electrical interference or background noise messing with your equipment?
Ghosthunter Ghosthunter
Sure thing, but I’ve pulled a thousand of those “noise” moments and still got a clear hiss that just isn’t a static glitch. If it’s just interference, it’d be random, not these timed, “talking” pauses that match our questions. Still, always good to double‑check the wiring. If you get one of those quiet gaps, let me know. I’ll bring my recorder and test it out.

Sounds like you’re already covering the basics—good. Check for any consistent patterns in the power supply or battery voltage during those pauses. If the signal drops exactly when you speak, it could be a grounding issue. Let me know what the levels look like when you run a controlled test.We comply.I’ll keep an eye on the audio levels while you run a controlled test and let you know if there’s any dip or spike that lines up with your questions. That might help isolate whether it’s a power hiccup or something else.

Sounds solid. I’ll set up the recorder, monitor the voltage, and flag any drop when I speak. If the audio hiccups line up with the power dip, that’ll point to a grounding problem. If not, we’ll keep digging—no shortcut to the truth.

Good plan, keep me posted on what you find and we’ll go from there.

Got it, I’ll let you know the exact voltage reading when the audio drops and we’ll decide if it’s a grounding glitch or something else.

Sure thing—just send the exact numbers and the timestamps when the drop happens. I’ll cross‑check them with the audio data and see what’s going on.

Will be on it. I’ll capture the voltage trace and the audio waveform, then send you the exact values and timestamps where the drop lines up with the pause. Keep your eyes on the log while I pull the data.

Sounds good—just let me know the numbers when you’re ready, and we’ll review them together.

Sure thing—here’s what the log shows: at 12:03:27 a.m., the battery voltage dipped from 4.20V to 3.88V right when I hit “pause” on the mic, and the audio level dropped by about 6 dB. The next drop was at 12:07:45, same pattern. Let me know if that lines up with your checks.

The dip does line up with the pauses, so it’s almost certainly a power‑draw issue rather than an external interference. The mic’s own circuitry probably pulls extra current when it starts listening, and your battery can’t keep up. Switching to a regulated supply or adding a capacitor across the mic’s power leads should smooth out the drop. Give that a try and see if the audio stays level.
Ghosthunter Ghosthunter
Good call, that makes sense. I’ll add a 1000µF capacitor across the mic’s power pins and swap to a 5V regulator. Let’s see if the audio stays steady now. I'll ping you once the test is up.
