The Lady Gaga Song Humans Can’t Hear (WAIT! Hear Me Out!)

And I don’t mean “can’t hear” as in “inaccessible,” “forbidden” or “secret.”  I mean inaudible.  And frankly, this is kinda cool.

Using a company called Sonic Notify, a signal is transmitted to smartphones in the audience of a Lady Gaga show that have a special app installed.  The phones then get linked to various websites and images in real time during the gig.  

There’s even a part of the app that lets everyone vote on which song(s) should end up in the encore.  

Think of it as an ultrasonic QR code.

If you’re going to Coachella this year, Sonic Notify will be there in full force.  Prep yourself by reading more about Sonic Notify here.
