Watching the pilot tonight I was struck by the line "I can tell from the sounds that it isn't her."
"Listen to the sounds" accompanied an abstract scratching that also followed Cooper's footsteps outside the Tremond/Palmer residence in Part 18.
There have been many attempts to match the sounds to other stuff in the Twin Peaks canon, not really bothered if it matches Hawk's footsteps in Laura's room or not but don't think that's been tested either way.
I'm more interested in the specific use of the rather idiosyncratic term "sounds" and the question of identity and the fact there's the footatep connection in both the first and last episodes of Twin Peaks.
Does anyone who knows more about audio mixing than I do (ergo, probably everyone) have the motivation to check this? I've been playing around with the audio tracks in Audacity and have thoroughly creeped myself out by what seems a
very close match between the sounds in the gramophone (reversed like The Fireman's speech) and two
Twin Peaks scenes. The first is Laura opening her diary in
The Missing Pieces. The second is the sounds of footsteps I mention in the quoted post.
I'm probably drastically underestimating how common matches like this are in completely unrelated sounds but, as I said, everything I know about sound engineering I learned within the last hour or so. Still, I'm thoroughly spooked.

You can listen below. It repeats three times. The first time is the two scenes back to back with no gramophone. Second time it's the gramophone by itself. Third time it's all three stacked on top of each other.

Whoops, I neglected to read the OP and figure out they'd already figured out the scene for the first sound.
