Today, while walking to my train, a man behind me whistled loudly to get someones attention, and something about the pitch or frequency (or what ever you call it) made me angry, but it only lasted for a few seconds. I've noticed that some other sounds have that same effect on me. It's like an involuntary response to certain frequencies I guess. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
