Ah, OK. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I also can't really tell a big difference between the Green one and the Blue one.

Well no, it's not particularly either Pokemon Red and Green, vs. Pokemon Red and Blue, it's that, the "beta" version is just made up. Also, yes, I think there is a VERY SLIGHT difference between Green and (US) Blue, but it's not too much of a difference. One thing is, I swear it seems like in the Japanese version of Pokemon Blue, I swear Lavender Town's theme sounds somewhat "piercing" to your ears.

I totally committed suicide just now after hearing the beta one.
For real though, that wailing in the beginning is pretty weird in a bad trip kinda way.

Technically, the "Beta" version, is actually fake. It's meant to hurt your ears, when listening to it.

From my understanding, it's a complete hoax. The part about children committing suicide is untrue, and is part of a well known creepy-pasta (alongside the "white hand sprite" story).

From what I've read, this is Kulor's interpretation of Lavender town with said "binaural beats," creepy noises and whatnot (this is actually an NSF so it wasn't even made for GBC). So, this was not used in any beta of Red or Green. There may've been two versions of the Lavender Town music but according to bulbapedia there is not a dramatic difference between the two (save from the displacement of one of the parts by an octave, and that's if two versions actually exist).

I'd been looking for that second one for ages, thanks for that.

yeah, the only way something like this couldve happened is if kids put on headphones, then laid down with their eyes closed listening to it for about an hour.

not to mention trying to get the gameboy to produce different high frequency tones playing in each ear for that amount of time, independent of the looping music

I've never seen that. That is too cool.

this may not be 100% accurate as i know it from a show on youtube and didnt check for evidences.
