Iranian authorities are concerned that intelligence agencies could use audio files to track Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei<\/a>\u2019s location, according to an article published on Sunday by the Tehran Municipality-affiliated Iranian daily Al-Mashhari.<\/p>\n

In a post on its Telegram channel, Al-Mashhari claimed the fears explained why no audio recordings of Khamenei<\/a> have been released.<\/p>\n

The newspaper outlined five ways a recording could potentially reveal where he was located.<\/p>\n

First, every enclosed space has a unique acoustic signature that can provide precise information about the room in which the speaker is located, the newspaper said.<\/p>\n

Second, interference from the electrical grid can be used to determine the date and exact time a recording was made, as well as the specific section of the power grid connected to the recording site.<\/p>\n

Each microphone<\/a> and recording device also leaves a unique imprint on an audio file. Mobile phone microphones, for example, weaken low frequencies, while inexpensive components produce distinctive harmonic distortion that can serve as a fingerprint for the device.<\/p>\n

Noise from ventilation systems, generators, cooling equipment, or other technical equipment at the site could also help intelligence agencies identify its location.<\/p>\n

Finally, the newspaper claimed that the resonance of the speaker\u2019s voice could reveal his breathing patterns, pauses between words, physical condition<\/a>, heart rate, and stress level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iranian authorities are concerned that intelligence agencies could use audio files to track Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":975755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[5157,210,83,238566,99,269500,50,2053],"class_list":["post-975754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-audio","tag-health","tag-iran","tag-islamic-regime","tag-israel","tag-mojtaba-khamenei","tag-news","tag-tehran"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117026170358609931","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=975754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/975755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=975754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=975754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=975754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
