Sin City Audio Problem
 

There was a very noticeable high pitch sound for all the dialogue when I watched it for the first time friday. At the time I thought my center channel was going out, I even paused the movie and tried messing with the speaker and my wires thinking something got messed up. I hadn't thought about it until today when I read the IGN review of the dvd, they heard the same thing I did. I don't see any other threads on here about it so I'm hopeing it is just a small amount of the discs that have the problem, anyone else notice it? IGN said it was more noticeable on the DTS soundtrack, I watched the DD and it annoyed the hell out of me so I doubt I'll watch the DTS now if it is even worse.

I watched it with the DTS track and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

I noticed the same thing actually and it is more noticeable on the DTS so I switched to the DD track. I didn't hear it during the narration, only when the characters spoke with each other.

watched 3 times already and did not notice anything. I used a Panasonic RP-62 dvd player.

what player did you notice the problem on?

I used a Hitachi, IGN said they tried two different dvd players. I'll try my laptop and and dvd player in the living room, right now I'm thinking there might have been a bad lot as it seems not everyone has it.

I distinctly remember this audio problem in the theater, so it must be a problem with the mix.

Me, too. I'm sure it has something to do with Rodriguez's fast and cheap working methods.

It was probably the production audio from the set; something that was running (wind or fog machines) or the audio was just recorded incorrectly/poorly. I noticed it too, and it sounds like the tried to cut around it as much as possible, and unless they wanted to ADR entire segments where the dialogue was bad, this is probably the best we are going to get.

It seems strange that they would have such bad audio problems on a greenscreen set. Usually the problems with production audio are caused by things on location. Maybe no one noticed until they started editing/mixing.

That blows. I saw it twice in the theatre and don't remember hearing it. I did however notice it on the DVD and it bugged the shit out of me.

It doesn't seem to happen at certain scenes but instead with certain actors.

Maybe they can somehow fix it for the rumored SE.

Seen it twice now, both in DD and DTS, and have not noticed any noticeably problems.

Which makes sense... actors weren't shot together for the most part.

Shit, that sucks. I guess I'll have to get used to it, turning the volume down helped but isn't the greatest solution as I like my movies loud when I watch them. Maybe they can do something about it for the special edition.

DTS and no audio problem. But some guys over at AVSForum also claimining the same thing. But only a small margian of people are hearing this.

Wouldn't it be pretty easy to just filter out a sound that high pitched? It's disappointing that they didn't since it's kind of distracting.

I noticed the high-pitched noise both times I saw it in the theater and on the DVD as well. But out of all those times, I was the only one in my group to notice, so I thought I was going crazy. Good to know I'm not alone. I'm really hoping they fix this before the special edition comes out, but they probably won't.
