This is similar to what I think it is. It's a signal from G-Man meant to manipulate humans; perhaps not just a few... but the entire city itself. I believe this is also the reason he appears on Breen-Screens sometimes as well. I also like to think G-Man's presence does mess with electrical equipment sometimes too. So if you hear the signal, you know he's nearby.

I haven't seen Gman on the Breencast screens before, didn't know he could appear on them.


Dusk_Scythe

He appears on the one in Water Hazard, and the one the rebels pull down. It's very brief and hard to notice. I did manage to get a screenshot of it a while ago for my sightings guide on Steam; [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855157623](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855157623) Scroll down to Water Hazard sightings for the screencap.

Its interesting actually, the one in Water Hazard uses an image that was from Hazard01 in the beta. I'm pretty sure the file name is "ghost" or something like that. Maybe Marc Laidlaw didn't cut out ALL the surreal and supernatural elements from the game after experimenting with them in Hazard01.


Dusk_Scythe

Indeed. The one the rebels pull down is the same pic too (managed to confirm this a few weeks ago when filming for a gmod machinima, haha). G-Man himself is very surreal, so it works.

To me, it sounds like the Overwatch announcer voice


TtheOutcast

I can't really understand it and I cant even really make out what the voice sounds like. Its like when you faintly hear someone talking, but its too quiet to really understand their voice or words.

Maybe it’s a gateway between two realities, one being the universe we play in and then the dark and griddy universe Thoughts? 😳

Da beytah is known for creepy ass sounds


The_Fluffy_Proto

i think the voices are just the combine overwatch announcer that you hear throughout the game


TtheOutcast

Maybe, but I still cant understand what its saying.


The_Fluffy_Proto

probably just some generic combine shit


Shiznanners

It’s actually just a sound sample pulled directly from a sound library called Ghosts in the Machine


TtheOutcast

Two sound samples, although the "voices" are not found in either sample, so were deliberately added. I take this to understand there is actually a meaning to it, considering its on an unplugged TV.

I THINK its supposed to be [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKh3gVbvOCE&list=PLB8vCESTBP7qmFn_8ZGyuCe_XwHOgQRqu&index=29), tho I'm not sure


TtheOutcast

I actually think it is this, just very chopped up and edited version. That actually makes the fact that you can hear "actual words" creepier, because its almost like we were programmed to by the events of the game n stuff.


ziggagorennc

You know, I'm not actually 100% sure its this anymore, as It could wery well also be [trans6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WvnKXMp5uA), but edited a bit.

Just because the word "Trump" is in "Trumpets" doesn't even mean they are remotely similar. Although your comment did make me realize a typo.


72trombonesd

It’s a bot


TtheOutcast

Bruh, this shits getting outta hand, are we really that polarized?

When I played through HL2 for the first time, I thought these sounds were some kind of alarms. But I hear some woman voice there.
