Zip tone

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard a very high-pitched sound that makes your ears feel funny? That's kind of like what a zip tone is.

Now let's get a little bit technical. A zip tone is a continuous sound that starts at a low frequency and increases gradually to a high frequency. It's called a "zip" tone because it sounds like a zipper being zipped up really fast.

Why is this important? Well, zip tones are sometimes used in movies and TV shows to make you feel anxious or scared. They can create tension and make you feel like something bad is about to happen.

But don't worry, zip tones aren't dangerous or harmful to your ears. They're just a clever sound effect used in entertainment. Next time you hear one, you'll know exactly what it is!
