Drone-Metal Goblin Suite for echo

A particular hum precedes echo in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of echo, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.
