Pilot: Digital Coughs, and Electronic Sneezes

These were some of the first things that amused me, which I named for the sake of time, and so that they would not be forgotten.

A digital cough is just that: a digital cough. No, it is not a recording of someone coughing that you downloaded from a site. A digital cough is that of an actual person coughing, in reality, and it just so happens to sound digital. By digital, I mean that the cough had various aspects to it which made it sound like it contained something other than the contents which the person was coughing out. The "something other" sounded digital, like a noise a computer would make, or something else hardware-related. Unfortunately, I forget what it exactly sounded like, or I would try to tell you. I just remember thinking that it sounded digital.

The same with the electronic sneeze. The sneeze was there, in addition to some high-pitched frequencies, which sounded like something an electronic device would make.

And that is what a digital cough, and an electronic sneeze are.
