My buddy Hrafn over at Think Artificial found this fantastic audio recording that sounds exactly like you’re getting a haircut. I thought it was so cool that I had to do some research.
These are called Holophonic sounds and are made to be listened to with headphones. They are recorded with a dummy head that has two microphones, one in each ear. The shape of the head and ears must be similar to a human head.

Too bad the barber who wanted to be a Lumberjack didn’t have that haircut one…
omigod the womans voice one scared me so bad i nearly passed out
this is so cool!!!!!! i didnt even kno that it was possible to make such a thing,=!!! the part where the barber puts the bag over your head sounds so cool!!! it feels like it is really happening!
This is a cool site. easy to down load and problem free. i loved ur auditory illusions. they r sooooo real !!!!!!!!!
hi, thanks a lot,i had been heared hair cut. it is wonderful.
This is so cool.I didn’t the way these sounds are recorded.Can anyone tell please how it is done.
he tells you how its done in the hair cut one. there is a model of a head with 2 microphone pick ups where the ears should be. then they actually just re enact the scene
Wow. I winced, I flinched, I yelped twice.
Now let’s see someone make a more commercial use of this! Porn (sadly) comes to mind. Live concert as well? Video games would be a natural. Maybe some atmospheric horror audio? That would be effective!
i think the virtual haircut is mint but can you do more virtual things to do with the body cause it is better than the matchbox and all the others
i didn’t like my haircut ,GIVE ME BACK money !
We used to do this as kids, kind of, two hands, fingers extended, drug lightly down the sides of a friends head to simulate an egg dripping over your head. try it, use a cluck to simmlulate the egg crack with a tap on the head first.
OMG! The Hair Dressers, Matches and blow drying is so real! They are fantastic!
