[spoiler]In the blue creek apartment building, room 204.[/spoiler]

haven't you been paying attention to this thread?

For me it happened only my second time through the game

I got a weird idea. What if it is just some random phrase or something being said..In Japanese?!

That would make sense if it wasn't clearly English.

hmm..

Is there anywhere I can listen to it myself (Other than the game because I can't play it atm

I listened this with headphones and it doesn't say anything recognizable to me. There is a certain similarity with "see my dead wife" at the beginning but if one listens carefully, the pronunciation just isn't right for that. I have to side with Arsonist on this one.

I don't know about that though. I mean, Silent Hill 2 is known for its deeper messages rather then relying on random scares. Also, I mean how awesome of an opportunity does this look like to have some crazy hidden meaning?



Maybe playing it backwards?

I played it backwards and it's just gibberish. Certainly there are hidden messages in the games but random scary sounds are also quite common.

I suppose...but I can't help but think that there is something more to this whispering. I mean its, for lack of a better word, dialogue within the game. I would imagine that these lines have some sort of tangible meaning behind them.

I still maintain the voice says, "See my dead wife, come home, do some laundry (to escape), see [undecipherable name]'s face."

However, I've been listening to the same 2 seconds for 8 years now, so of course I'm conditioned to what it says: It's been implanted into my fragile, impressionable mind.

I'm digging up the file to re-upload it, by the way. I'll add it this post and my first post as well.

If anything, it says "put" before the supposed "some laundry", not "do". After "laundry" it says "do", not "to". Quite clearly "d" is being pronounced instead of "t". After this I hear "saiivniivit". I can't make the word "escape" out of that in any way.

Here's the file.

None of this discussion really matters: The voice doesn't say anything, and if it does there's no way to distinguish what.

I can strain myself to hear "See my dead wife an' come home to do some laundry to escape an' maybe see to Carsoo Simpsoo's face" but that's a forced strain. Real talk.

But like I said: None of this matters b/c there's nothing there.

I know its probably a long shot even so I doubt it will answer any questions but does anyone happen to know who does the voice? Actor I mean.

In all my 9 or 10 playtroughs I never heard that. I tryed to listen this on my last playtrough but nothing. I even turned the volume up like to 50 and got damn close to the TV but nothing. What's wrong?

The whispering doesn't always play. Whether or not it does play is predetermined from the game's onset and isn't reset until you begin an entirely new game.

In all honesty, I've never heard it in the game. Not once, in all the dozens of times I've played (though, I only to listen for it on a handful of those occasions).

I've never heard it in game either. I'll have to play it again

Hate to nudge up a 4-month post, but if that's the case, why not try an experiment?

Fire up the PC version, run through the game up to the second save point, saving at both the first and second; then start a new game, and save twice in the same spots, trying to do as much the same as possible.

Assuming the save files aren't encrypted, and the things really are predetermined when you start a new game, you could isolate the ones that cause that event to happen.

...

In fact, the same could be said for all of them; and on top of that, an easy way to test would be to take one save before that room, go in, and reload/do it again a few times and see if you get the same result each time. If a file that plays it once continues to play it with each reload, then the other one doesn't (alternating between the two in random patterns to try to iron out random factors) then you'll know it's at least prior to the apartment being entered.

I heard a rumor that theirs a room in the apartments were you could here someone say "behind you" or is that BS that someone mixed up with this?

Shenanigans.
