Red Sounds Like A High F

Neil Harbisson was born with a rare vision condition called achromatopsia; complete color blindness. 

"Since 2004, an antenna sticks out of my head that allows me to hear the color spectrum, from near infrared to near ultraviolet. My head has turned into a music box. I can hear the sky, I can listen to my mother's eyes and I can hear rainbows. 

I don't feel that I'm using technology, I don't feel that I'm wearing technology, I feel that I am technology. I don't perceive my antenna as a device, I perceive it as a part of my body, I perceive it as an organ."




So these would sound like 440 Hz and under (F# and under). Earplugs, anyone?
