There are various "illusions" using audio as well. There is one where you are not really hearing things right as they sound like the pitch is constantly decreasing that can be found on wikipedia under auditory illusions.
There also is the misheard lyrics illusion where you hear one thing and can hear another (pour some shook-up Ramen commercial instead of "pour some sugar on me" as an example).
But then there are subliminal audio where the volume of it is such that you cannot hear it, or just barely can hear it and it is saying things you perhaps can't consciously understood.
Just like audio, this information if loud enough for the subconscious to hear it, or loud enough for you to consciously hear it but because of noise over it you can't make out consciously what it is saying) is still stored in the memory banks for association.
It's not just what the subliminals are saying, but also how you feel while you hear that music. If the music makes you associate whatever is being said with pleasure, you associate pleasure with it. If whatever you hear makes you feel bad or pain, then you associate what is being said with pain. As such, your mind will associate pleasure with certain things and pain with another, and over time will naturally have an inclination to move towards that which you have associated with pleasure, and away with that which you have associated with pain.
This doesn't even have to be subconscious to work, but the technique is something many are unaware of. For example, there may be scary eerie "twilight zone" music" associated with whatever they are talking about on TV when they talk about a particular topic. They may discuss conspiracy theories and have that music and you might feel uncomfortable enough to naturally have a discomfort with that particular subject. I don't consider this "mind-control" by traditional definitions, just "subconscious or conscious" learning that over enough reinforcements will create an identity and a belief system and a paradigm around it, but I don't blame people for calling it that, since the end results is manipulating associations in your mind that eventually distort the thoughts, ideas, and even beliefs you come up with. I think such a term is one that doesn't have as much credibility and a lot of people will immediately be turned off from listening to what you have to say if you try to tell them "mind control exists and it's everywhere!!!" That's also a good way to get laughs and/or sent to an insane asylum. If you instead talk about subconsciously created associations that tend to have an influence on how the brain wires and how learning develops, and you have an informed discussion about it, it sounds much more "normal" as opposed to just looking like a paranoid loon. That just goes to show you the effect that audio and changing the way you say things has on people's perceptions.
If we want to live beyond what other people have programmed for us, or "taught" us, we need to separate how we feel about something and how it stands up to a full examination of the facts. At the same time there is a very difficult balance between that and not seeing things naturally and independent. See that is a form of structure to see things for what they appear logically, and if you see things intuitively it may be more correct at times and may be able to take in experiences in which you aren't consciously aware of. The trouble comes when those things are not congruent with reality, since you are mostly going to still be using "memory" to access it subconsciously. So you need to connect to something larger that can draw upon your memories and experiences as well as the nature around you that is not yet corrupted and give you information that you can use to derive understanding from.
Audio subliminal and associations are nearly as powerful as the visual kind, and to some, audio influence via the mind's natural process to learn may be more powerful, depending on how they learn best. Even though Audio is said to be less effective than visual, I actually think that auditory influence can have more immediate effects. The mind may think in picture, but it already has so many built in associations connecting words to pictures because of how and what people are taught when they're young that you really can speed up the process substantially and influence the pictures that are made in someone's mind.
Audio and visual input will ALWAYS influence you. If it did not, a mother would not react to a baby crying her awake, a man would not defend his family instinctively and protect them after hearing a loud roar or threatening noise, and people would not react to and get any satisfaction out of music and the music industry would not be as big as it is, AM/FM radio wouldn't exist any longer in cars, and movies and TV would be just as entertaining without sound and without background music. Yet for some strange reason (well, it's because that's how people are conditioned and they are so ego centric that they will always think they are in charge of their own thoughts and every thought they had would have existed independent of everything around them), people seem to look at you as if you're nuts if you suggest that the words in a movie, the music in the movie and the sounds made can influence your mind's basic process of learning. But how can you have a thought at all if you aren't drawing upon words you have heard and grown to understand, associations you have made and stimulus in the mind that connects feelings and thoughts with certain sounds, things, objects, etc.
Whether it's a moving speech that uses words that stimulate emotion, or whether it's hearing a loud siren and influences you to avoid that noise or pull over if it's behind you. Or perhaps it's simply memorizing a certain saying to help you remember what has been taught. Ultimately the things we grow to like and dislike have everything to do with association and the mind's natural process to subconsciously seek to find pleasure and avoid pain and protect those we are connected with (usually at a minimum, close family).
So much of what we know or grow to learn is a result of something we have seen or heard. Other senses, particularly emotions/feeling are significant, but there is a strong overlap with those emotions and sight/sound, in addition to many of those emotions are already preconditioned by concept via certain words or descriptions, or perhaps those sounds will stimulate certain visual representations.
For example, if I ask you what color is your car, you can answer it, because at some point you made the memory of your car. If I ask you which way your door lock turns to lock it, you can imagine closing it clockwise. That is visual representation that can be stimulated by words. But certain visual representations have strong emotions associated with them, particularly those in which you have had a traumatic experience with.
If you imagine having just finished running a long race and being on your way home. You run into someone attractive and you are asked to walk her to her car (or him) and you do but on the way you cross by a dark ally and you hear a snarl and out of nowhere comes a 15 foot tiger with sharp teeth growling out as he slowly sneaks up on as you turn around you see him crouching like he is getting ready to strike and he starts to pounce you probably could notice at some point that your heart rate increased. Hearing the voice describe the event may also have more of an effect than seeing the words, and certainly actually seeing a movie in a movie theatre with surround sound filmed as in first person could make your heartrate increase.
Everything from imagining running to imagining someone you are attracted to, to seeing a stressful or dangerous situation unfold all are things that if you imagined them vividly enough will increase your heart rate because your subconscious believes that imagination or image to be real. Here we have your eyes seeing representations of words via letters on the screen, your voice reading the words on the screen outloud and you making a picture based upon those words in your head, and a feeling associated with that. This is why many people read books because of the emotional influence it has just in the same way people watch movies or TV shows because of the ability these shows have to influence your emotions.
The point is, much of our senses are linked and capable of producing emotion based upon the other.
It is this link that creates "learning" in the sense that your mind is creating associations that place a more specific point in time and space with events surrounding it. The more powerful the emotion the more significant the memory may appear. I bet just about everyone in America remembers where they were on September 11th 2001.
But September 5th 1998? Or August 3rd 2005? Probably not so much unless that is a friend or families birthday or significant date to you personally. Emotions influence the SIGNIFICANCE of memory.
This is why certain lyrics can be memorized more easily than others. It doesn't take me many times of listening to Eminem's hate filled music and clearly articulated lyrics with loud base thumping for me to be able to recite every single word without even trying. For others, they may have more of a connection emotionally with other songs. Nevertheless, you need to know the effect audio can have on you, and how the process of learning and communicating synchronistically with the larger mind is hijacked through manipulation and audio manipulation (and visual) by those trying to control who are separated from the awareness of the infinitesimally small and infinitely big and awareness and connection to this.
At some point I will get into examples, but whether they are subliminal whispers, metaphorical usage of words, duel meanings and innuendo, subliminal/covert suggestion and hypnotic language or simply leveraging the fear of loud noises to control your fight or flight response, I assure you the sounds you hear effect your brain chemistry which in turn influences the associations you create when it comes to certain audio and meaning you project to certain things, words, concepts, ideas, etc.
