You arrive at puzzle 8 and see a quote and hear a speaker playing this audio clip on repeat:

AUDIO CLIP



SOLUTION 8

You hear some newscasts. Hmm... what could be important? You notice tones between each segment of news. They don't seem to all be the same. Some high, some low.

The tones translate to morse code: low tone for dots and high tone for dashes. You will then get the following letter pairs:

J N
L R
V X
A G
L R
V X
J R

That doesn't seem to spell anything. If you're really clever, you might pick up on the announcer referring to "midsection", "50%", "center" and things like that, which might lead you to try finding the letter that's midway between the two letters.
This leads you to the answer: DOWNLOW
