'I believe,' he said, speaking more slowly now,
'that there is a whole world of sounds about us
all the time that we cannot hear. It is possible
that up there in those high-pitched inaudible
regions there is a new exciting music being made,
with subtle harmonies and fierce grinding discords,
a music so powerful that it would drive us mad
if only our ears were tuned to hear the sound
of it."

Roald Dahl, "The Sound Machine" 1949
