Regarding the “sound experts”...... the vast majority of “sound experts” say there are no gunshots on the police recording at all.
In the first place, when you play the recording you hear no gunshots, just some traffic noise. Then when you study the exact place on the tape where the House Committee sound lab said there are four gunshots, you can hear Sheriff Decker telling the dispatcher to get all of his men up into the railroad yard to find out what happened back there and “...hold everything secure...” until police investigators can get there.
This is known as “crosstalk.” The motorcycle with the stuck microphone on Channel 1 drove past another motorcycle that had its radio tuned to Channel 2, and just as the one motorcycle passed the other, the stuck microphone picked up Decker’s message of “...hold everything secure...”, which went out over Channel 2 and was picked up by the passing Channel 1 stuck microphone.
The original House Committee sound lab technicians just didn’t notice that faint crosstalk transmission on the Channel 1 recording. That transmission took place more than a minute after the assassination, so there can not be any gunshots on the Channel 1 recording at that place at all, because that place on the tape occurred more than a minute after the assassination.
What the House Committee sound technicians did was not say they could actually hear the gunshots, but they said some of the noise waveforms (a visual printout of the noise) resembled gunshot waveforms, and the majority of the House Committee members fell for that mistake. The National Academy of Sciences acoustics experts later issued a report pointing out the error.
About four years ago a bug doctor, an expert on bugs, issued his own “report” claiming that the NAS report was wrong, and that got some media attention. The old NAS guys went to work on a newer report and it said the bug doctor was wrong. I and other independent researchers agree with the NAS guys. There are no gunshots on the Dallas police recording, and, furthermore, the stuck microphone wasn’t even in Dealey Plaza. It was either at the Trade Mart or closer to Parkland Hospital, because about 3 minutes after the assassination we can hear the motorcade sirens of the speeding motorcade passing the stuck microphone on the way to Parkland Hospital, and that means the stuck microphone was somewhere between the Trade Mart and Parkland, and it was never in Dealey Plaza in the first place.
