Reply to comment by 2_Sheds_Jackson in TIL about anti ninja floors in Japan. They were purposefully made to squeak as to alert people of intruders. by tpb01

I have not read any of these. But I imagine the skill of hearing clear notes and recalling, what I assume is a newly aquired, association would be hard.

Best method would be to set the notes like piano keys, with each row of ninja tiles being a different octave. Larger rooms will have less accuracy (with only 12 notes in an octave restricting the number of tiles per row) but if you know the piano it'll be easier to pull off.

So dancing on such a floor would create some fusion jazz number

When a ninja walk in with an itty bitty waste and a round thing in your face, your floor squeaks.

Saw your other post and was like "yeah! What's up with that?!" Then saw the response and thought "I'm an idiot, duh....." (I've been involved with music since I was old enough to sing, so like 23 years, and somehow that escaped me, but I also just woke up and haven't had coffee yet)

'Perfect pitch' muscicians call it. It's something that need to be trained, but most people have to be born with the ability to get even modest gains.

I met a guy in high school band that has synesthesia and would 'see' a different color for every note. So he memorized the colors and that's how he knew the note. I fart at a light green f#.

I have no idea what to do with that last piece of information, but i don't think i'm going to be able to forget it.
