Cell phones are also optimized to only capture and playback sounds in the human vocal range. They weren't designed to carry any sound outside of that range... and may just discard it as noise.

What's so fscking incredible or scary about listening to some wind blowing in the microphone of a mobile phone?

I think this is one of the most stupid experiments I've ever heard...

People sometimes fail to have a little bit of common sense and a bit of scientific knowledge to be able to predict the outcome of certain kinds of experiments without actually performing them.
