This, my dear friend, is ILS - Infinitely Loud Silence.
Play some other sounds and then play this, and you'll know why I call it this way.
It's created by a bug present in LMMS, a free program for electronic music production.
Actually this sample can't reproduce the ILS phenomenon, that creates a DC offset so big, that it outnumbers any other signal getting out of the same audio interface and the result is silence. It's a silence that is masking other sounds. Mind-boggling. Nasty bug. All this sound can do is cause some distortion, probably because 24-bit sound can be only as loud as 0dB. 32-bit floating point should be able to get louder, but still I don't think any sample file would be able to reproduce this product of error.

Further proof that John Cage got it all wrong when he said that there is no such thing as silence. Silence is very real. We just can't hear it.
