Recycled Goblin Takes on synthesized

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

synthesized carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of synthesized more interesting than the actual one.
