Mysterious CD Muse (Posted on 2022-09-30) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Joaquim was rather a noisy fellow, always unable to keep quiet causing both his local and university library to deny him entry. His roommate, Lenny being a music major and sound engineer, said he could solve his problem, but Joaquim would need to trust him. He gave Joaquim his 75-watt ghetto blaster, a CD, fake mustache, and a long blond wig. Joaquim was initially skeptical but he was intrigued and he decided to give it a shot.

Joaquim, disguised as one of the professors, entered the university library. He placed the CD player on the table in front of him; loaded the CD; cranked the volume full and braced himself as he turned it on. Surprisingly there was only a very very faint sshh. Joaquim then realized that he couldn't hear anything at all. He spoke normally, then yelled, but no one reacted. Awesome, he thought as he began flailing his arms around and shouting as loud as he could.

Unfortunately, the librarian, seeing him moving but hearing nothing, assumed he was choking and performed the Heimlich maneuver on him, knocking his wig off. This caused the librarian to perform the hind kick on Joaquim right out of the door.

But what has his roommate Lenny done? What was on that mysterious CD that had made everything quiet?

I am reproducing jereumder the accurate solution as submitted by Kenny M as follows:

"The CD was playing white or pink noise, which at the appropriate volume will mask most other nearby noises and be heard as the shushing noise.

The wig and the rest are only a part of the disguise to allow Joaquim to sneak in the building."
