would a recording of a rooster's crow have the same effect on a basilisk as if an actual rooster was there? or does it have to be the real thing?
A recording would have a lessened effect but would still have an effect on a basilisk! Due to the quality of recordings rn the effects arenât as bad as if it were a real roosterâs crow.
However, as recordings get more and more crisp and true to life weâll see an increased effect on Basilisks to near life-like effectiveness. This is why in the future of recordings, music industry, hollywood equivalent, etc. thereâs actually going to be a very strict regulation on harmful sounds in public media.
Actual roosterâs crows will be illegal to record and display publicly. If itâs absolutely necessary for a roosterâs crow to be recorded (a documentary I guess, scientific research, etc.) that project will have to go through an approval process proving that itâs needed as well as be required to maintain warnings within the piece of media similar to warning for flashing lights like we do. It will also be prohibited from public demonstration and use.
So any roosterâs crows heard in media will actually be noise heavily edited from other animals or, for comedyâs sake, being something else entirely, like a car horn.
