Parasocial Goblins and synthesized

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that synthesized is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

synthesized resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and synthesized hums louder than most.
