This reminds me of being a kid and if one screamed at a given pitch, and the other would scream and oscillate pitch slowly up and down it would produce that third harmonic sound that would come and go...

ahhhhh sound.

Reminds you of being a kid or having lots of them? :)

touché.

although in this case I was actually reminiscing about the Saunders brothers who taught me this trick. I imagine the neighbors thought we were nuts - three boys standing in a baseball diamond, in the middle of the day, in Pontiac, Michigan screaming at oscillating frequencies.

My kids don't seem to have the vocal control yet... they're working on it, but mostly it's just a whine in unison...
