In this story there is a chapel. Carvings on the stonework were confusing, but part of the language of music. Each musical note vibrates at a different frequency. There is an ancient technique in which metal covered in some kind of power is vibrated at that frequency. The powder falls off in some places and it makes a kind of picture of that note, and there are differences in each one. So if someone could read the pictures, they would know which note it was.
I never knew music was it's own language with actual symbols like that.
But anyway, someone figured out what the carvings meant, and they translated the song. And now they are hoping to play the music in the chapel and see if something will happen!
I don't know how it could make a room open up, but they think something will vibrate or that the music is a clue for something.

I really don't think that the carvings have any magical music on them that's like saying the pimples on a kid's face have the secrect of life written in brail. Pure coincidence. Even if it does make an interesting song I don't think that actually playing it will have any effect.

Sounds too unbelievable to be real. Even if the music was intended to open a door, too much time would have passed for the door to open anymore. Plus you also have to keep in mind decay, items such as furniture in different places than supposed to be, ect.; all this stuff will affect where and how the sound travels.

well if it opened a hidden room, it would probably be more conveinient to just use dynamiitti (dynamite)!

Here is an article I found on Cymatics also known as Chladni patterns. I think it is neat how each note makes a unique pattern like that. It is beautiful and artistic to me.

Wow that is beautiful. I think it was likely carved on a wall for a means of celebration and faith, like the way people make pictures of things in the bible out of stained glass in churches.

Ok, I am starting to believe the symbols at the church were some kind of code. Watch this video and you will see how sound affects salt grains to make symbols. WARNING this video contains a note which goes higher and higher and higher until it is so high it is beyond the range of human hearing. So if you do NOT like high pitched notes in your ears, turn the sound off. Anyway, I found this very very neat. It is almost like sound makes symbols which are universal! This is like the language of the universe or God or aliens or whatever you want to believe in..
Some people say that crop circles are created by sound beams, which is why no one ever ever actually sees them being made, and they can be very intricate. I mean, I am starting to believe sound wave beams really can flatten the grain and make these intricate designs like this. If it can do it to salt, surely it can do it to grain stalks. And it happens nearly instantly with the salt, which explains how people say these intricate designs are appearing in feilds where no human would have had time to make this themselves.
I don't know if this is an alien code though. It could be a code that people use to send messages to each other. Or the government or anything. Or someone invented a way to make a sound beam to do this and is having fun with it. Who knows?
But anyway, this is a neat video with the salt. And maybe they'll figure out if the symbols at the church mean anything.

That was AWESOME!!!!
That was so beyond cool.
I've always been fascinated with the Rosalyn Chapel.

Sounds like something the Neopets staff would do in one of their plots. 
On a slightly more serious note, these kinds of things can be found literally all over various historical buildings. Sometimes they have a signifcant meaning, sometimes they're the equivalent of "kilroy was here."

Whoa... No way. I like these kind of mysteries... 
If it does open up.. then it has to be one of the most amazing things to happen.. Science goes a long way, eh? I would have liked to be there.. Though I'm quite nervous with what could be released or whatever
