Objects thrown by the ghost or the player (including the parabolic microphone itself)īecause the readings on the parabolic microphone take a certain time to update, it is recommended to pan the microphone slowly when 'sweeping' an area to pinpoint the source of any noise more accurately, investigating any sounds above 0.5 dB.Random ghost footsteps (not caused by salt).

It has a range of 30 meters with a 6 meter wide cone. The parabolic microphone must be pointed in the direction that sounds are being made to pick up any form of interaction on the screen. The value on the display is updated every second. When turned on, the display will show a set of numbers (000.0) which measures the sum of sound detected in a large area around its position. Sounds that are exclusive to player actions will not be picked up. Only sounds that are caused exclusively by the ghost, or both a ghost and a player could make, or the static of a spirit box, will be picked up by the parabolic microphone.
