Important observations

Important observations about the recordings

In the interest of complete transparency and honesty, I must note several inconsistencies between what was recorded and what would be expected in the physical environment:

1. Unexplained sounds:

One recording contains what has been confirmed as an AK-47, it fired sixty one times.

However, no other residents in the area reported hearing these gunshots.

Given the loud nature of such weapons, the recording requires explanation.

2. Physically impossible vehicle movement:

One recording features a lorry reversing for an extended period.

Initially, I considered this might be from the bus station across the road (38 meters away).

After observing and recording buses reversing at that station, I confirmed the sound does not match.

Furthermore, there is no location nearby where a lorry could reverse for the distance implied by the length of the recording.

3. Inconsistent background noise:

Early recordings made in the basement contain very little background noise.

However, recordings made approximately six months later show significant background noise.

This change in acoustic environment occurred without any apparent changes to the property or immediate surroundings.

4. The sound of a train:

A train can be heard in some of the recordings, yet the nearest train line to my house is around 750 meters away.

These inconsistencies puzzle me as much as the disturbing content itself.

In my opinion:

A recording was played near my recorder to mask other sounds.

For my theory to hold true, the noises must have been recorded somewhere close to a train line, where lorries reverse over an extended period.

The location would also have to offer an explanation for the weapons that were heard firing.

The nearest place that I could find that could potentially fit, was the industrial estate area near Ezzy store on the outskirts of Llandybie.

Close to Cilyrychen Quarry in Llandybie.
