Wow.
I’ve posted plenty of visual illusions, but never an audio one.
To take part, just listen to the following video. Then, when it’s done, replay the video to hear the sound continue to ‘creep-up’.
Weird.

This reminded me of the McGurk Effect. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGurk_effect for explanation
Basically, if you watch the lips of the guy he seems to be saying “da da,” but when you look away, you find he’s actually saying “ba ba.” The strange thing is that you can look away while he’s saying it and it’ll change for you.
I think this might be the best video: http://www.media.uio.no/personer/arntm/McGurk_large.mov
