Summary of Test #3 of SUSPECT DEVICE “WHISPERER” (SDW); 16-18 May 2012
Test #3’s purpose was to study the nature of the “humming” auditory effect the SDW has on individuals; to investigate the nature of it and shed some light on what determines said effect. It also served to determine the relevancy of a determined “affected area” that is believed to have a higher concentration of SDWs (Russia, Eastern Europe, Thailand, Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and Japan).

A pool of 1,000 United States Military Personnel composed of equal parts from the four major branches (Airforce, Army, Marine Corps, Navy) was selected for the study. The only criterion was that the personnel were not stationed in Japan. ¾ of the participants had liberty or had vacationed in the affected area (AE) in the preceeding three years.
The SDW was placed in a room devoid of other electronics or wave emitting devices. 125 wooden chairs were placed in rows around the SDW. Participants were exposed to the device in groups of 125 for the duration of an hour long session once a day for three consecutive days. Participants were permitted to read, draw, complete puzzles individually, or write during the hour. They were not allowed to talk or leave the room. Following each session, participants were asked to describe the SDW and how they felt at various points during the session. They were told not to discuss their personal responses with other participants until after the test was completed.
78% of those that had been in AE reported hearing humming sounds emitting from the SDW other than the metalic sound that its periodic vibrations alone generated. Those that attested to hearing the humming reported increased difficulty focusing on their tasks as time progressed in each hourly session.
More than half of the participants that did not hear the humming still reported feelings of anxiety and uneasiness, although how much of this can be attributed to the placebo affect is unknown.
No considerable change in health occurred over the course of the three days in those that reported hearing the humming.
All that reported hearing the humming on day one also heard it on day two and three. Five participants that didn’t hear the humming on day one reported hearing it on day two or three.
99% of those that reported hearing the humming also claimed to have chronic headaches.
At 1330 on day two, 20 participants reported that the humming intensified and became a hissing sound that lasted the duration of the hour. A migrane and difficulty sleeping that evening accompanied the hissing.

Personal Remarks:
I was present on day three of the test and entered the testing room at various points during the day. I have been to nearly all of the AE over the last three years but did not experience anything significant when exposed to the SDW. The metal of the box was cold at times and luke-warm at others. I was unimpressed by the exterior construction of the device but its inner workings are still a mystery. Difficulty sleeping was an issue long before the box.
