Not the way he does it, he thinks he's perfectly in time with the music.

I figured out that's why my wife can't sing. There was an experiment at a
science museum where it would play a tone and you try to match it. But you
couldn't here two tones at the same time. I usually got within one Hz of the
same tone. She was regularly off by 5 or 10 Hz. I'd play the two
alternating, and she's say she couldn't hear the difference.
It doesn't stop enthusiastic bad singing, tho.

Unfortunately, I only had two wires strung down to the first floor.
Fortunately, I could drill from the closet into the phone jack in the
kitchen from behind, so I could put stuff in the closet, including a
wireless AP and a hub to run the wire under the carpet to the entertainment
center.

You know that pitch perception is logarithmic, right?

Probably not. Probably due to bottlenecks between you and the backbone.

She was still off by 10x as much as I was. Things that sounded the same
were a good semitone or even full tone different.

I heard white noise in the phone with no filter and in the one next to
the PC with a filter, I heard in the distance the very same connection
"song" of old modems as it was connecting. Once connected, no further
noise.

Of course it is. It's called jazz.
