Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Gedächtnisaufzeichnungen von Teilnehmern» (Participants' records written from memory). Rudolf Steiner Verlag Gesamtverzeichnis 2022, volume subtitle. The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.

When we hear sounds, they are not spiritual, but something that comes from within us. If someone has a craving for a certain food, for example, if someone starts eating vegetarian but still has an inner, physical craving for meat, even if they are not aware of it, this craving sounds like a noise, a hypocritical noise. All these sounds and noises are just occult raven cawing!
