Over at the self-darkening welding helmet post I was a bit worried why a comment quoting Douglas Adams should disappear. Thought at first it might have been deleted as spam; well the description of "Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses" does read a little like an advert at first glance...
Ah, so that what's happened. Keep clean.
That seems awesome, but wouldn't the sounds be different to different people?
Is there a lot of interference?
And say I had no hands, do I simply put my head up against the rails?
The difference that people would hear would vary according to clothing, tissue composition (muscle to fat ratio) and how well they contacted the rail and their ears. Putting you head on the rail would work. That's how you can tell how far away a train is from you.
lol im sorry just messin with ya :P
steet
Surely this could be put to more use though, for e.g. tourist information about the area? You could have a section of railing for English commentary, a section for French etc.
That'd be really useful and cool.
very freaky

Have Fun!
you can do the same thing with a tuning fork from a guitar. Just get the fork ringing and touch the ball-end to your clenched jaw.
I've been doing this for years, and to see the concept applied to this kind of technology is brilliant!
I wonder how clear the sound is, and if you can use this method for any sound ..
Oh, how post-modern of me.
If I wanted to hear the sounds of falling bombs I'd join the military.
