This beat is making me see things that I didn't think I could see...

## Solution:

The audio file sounds normal. We can open it up in [Sonic Visualizer](https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/) to take a closer look.

At first glance, everything looks normal:

But if we add a spectrogram, we can see something that looks out of place:

With a little adjustment, we can see some hidden hex:

```bash
446177674354467b73796e337374683373316163737d
```

And that decodes to our flag: `DawgCTF{syn3sth3s1acs}`.
