    The point is simply that an acoustic wave of these frequencies causes the occurrence of resonance of internal organs of humans and beyond. The resonance frequencies of such organs as the heart, liver, stomach and others are mostly in the range of 4 - 25 Hz. stimulated to a long-term resonance can suffer mechanical damage or malfunction. He suggests going to some pump station, and you will see that your stomach will start coming up to your throat.

    I once tested a sub in the car for quite a long time :D (until the fuse died). Infrasound was definitely not there, but when I got out of the car it made my head spin. Maybe when listening to music it's not so noticeable, but try to zap yourself 30-40Hz and sit for a few minutes. When going even lower it is as a colleague wrote earlier, until you feel your guts shake.

    I once watched a program that described a case of a house where people were going crazy i.e. they had the impression that someone was following them and such different strange drives.... After research it turned out that these were sounds coming from electrical appliances that were 100m from the cottage. No one generally heard it (I do not remember what the exact frequencies were there), but they had a good ride.

    Greetings

    As Falco76 writes :!:
    Before scientists came to such conclusions there were many unexplained cases of insanity of people working in factories and other places where there were usually spinning machines. Sometimes it turned out that there was a difference in spinning between some motors and INFRA sounds were created. Prolonged exposure of people to these waves lead to insanity and in many stated cases people committed suicide. I read somewhere that the military was even interested in this to use "to finish" the enemy So, by the way, like microwaves :D .

    I have such an impression, but only sometimes ( I do not know what it depends on ) when I listen to music at full blast in the car for too long it is difficult to breathe, I would also like to add that it does not matter whether the windows are open or closed.

    Heya!
    I once read in one of the western magazines about electroacoustics about similar experiments of scientists. They built a large motorized "speaker" and placed it in a disco. It emitted very deep infrasound for half an hour. At the end, almost no one was left in that disco. Most of the people fled due to "feeling unreasonable, irrational fear." From their accounts, it was a frightening feeling....
    I suggest putting something like this in the Diet :)

    in parliament, turnout is low anyway, and after half an hour nobody is there :P .

    I also I listen longer to low bass it gives me a headache I feel sleepy not to mention the description in my ears (low bass 30-40hz) and the effect as if my guts were jumping up I really feel :D surely it harms the ears and acutely stupefies my kupel after 6 hours of disk I feel like a stoner :lol: doesn't really contact and almost can't hear anything 8O (disco is protector brzeski maybe someone knows :)

    Avatar - just be careful with the amplifier. In my car fortunately only fuses went. But for a moment there I thought that all the screws would come off :D .

    Question - Is there any reasonably easy way to measure if something like this is wandering around?

    At the peasant level, it's probably a microphone and an oscilloscope.

    Infrasound can be dangerous, but I guarantee you that with even a 15" good loudspeaker we will not produce sufficient intensity (possibly at TL...). The question of their danger in home conditions is negligible....

    infrasound in the home (generated by speakers) is a myth,,,, after 1 you would have to have a "long" apartment for the wave to be generated.... 2. there are no speakers that can produce infrasound at levels higher than negligible for health reasons.... what you are experiencing is the effect of audible sounds that normally over time at higher intensities tire us out..... and the body can defend itself....

    As evidenced by Crocodile Dundee, the Aborigines already used low-frequency sounds to communicate due to their good propagation.Halal wind also emits such components and scientists suspect that in addition to the pressure change associated with it, infrasound is the reason for its depressive effect on people. In the house can also happen for example: water in the pipes

    If there is no low bass in the music tracks then you can plant it yourself.
    In one track I planted the bass 26 Hz.A little too low.I can not add the attachment file, and if someone tells me how to add it, I will attach a sample of this track.
    I can feel this bass anyway at home without any problem and in a fairly decent intensity because I have a column with two speakers with a diameter of 20".
    It emits infrasound without a problem.

    It so happens that I have built a few dBdrag cars and I noticed a phenomenon, i.e. having a sub with flat (linear) characteristics after placing it in the car there is a fairly strong boost of the lowest frequencies, e.g. below 40-50Hz from this conclusion that the sub in the car better transmits lower frequencies (there is a kind of broadening of the characteristics downward) this is confirmed by practice in the car more "felt" bass than at home. As for the infrasound I once did an experiment, I put in the car a box with a 5kw speaker powered by a 1.7kw amplifier and after applying 18Hz the car fell into such a resonance that it clearly moved, but nothing could be heard lower I was afraid to go down because of the speaker (too much diaphragm deflection) because it was borrowed for testing from pioneer.

    Tarnowski - it is said that when the halny winds blow, in Zakopiec they hide trash cans and secure storefronts - supposedly everyone sits in pubs and drinks, and then you know the riots. I've heard (I don't know if it's true) that halny can be an extenuating circumstance in court.

    Whether it's infrasound I don't know. One would probably have to listen :D .

    It happens during a storm at sea, that sounds of about 7 Hz are produced even in quite a large room. Fear caused by infrasounds is a normal reaction not only among humans - in fact, it applies mainly to animals... These sounds are able to travel great distances - they announce storms (lightning), earthquakes, etc... - Therefore, evolution has developed such reflexes...
    If we were able to produce 120 dB nat. at, for example, 10 Hz, it would already be dangerous....

    The highest sound intensity that I heard (or actually felt)
    is about 145 dB, but at 45Hz (still far from infrasound), but still the experience is incredible (the image begins to blur and something like a bone in the throat, which is felt for about two days, which effectively discouraged me from further experiments of this type). The upper limit allowed by the rules of the dBdrag competition is 140dB for the driver staying in the car (at his own risk),after exceeding it the competitor is disqualified.
    On TVN TURBO this week (i.e. from 15.03.04r) broadcasts a program about the first Polish dBdrag car (tuning time) is worth seeing.

    Recently I began to be interested in infrared after lectures in Physics .... there are many more sources of infrasound such as a nuclear or thermonuclear explosion (the U.S. has recently stated unequivocally that such an explosion took place when Korea was testing its weapons)
    another example would be high-speed wind that blows in neighborhoods with tall buildings, then there is a significant increase in the number of suicides
    all kinds of launches of rockets of large sizes
    air transport
    trains and road traffic give local infrared fields in a band of 200m

    and such data from animal studies:

    Infrasounds also induce passing trucks. note that often then gently shakes the house and the glass in the windows resonate.

    In general, the topic of infrasound is very interesting, it is a pity that so little is written about it
    no because what to write about it? The whole issue can be summed up in one word....

    I'm talking about their effects and consequences of the impact on the human body
    that these are low frequencies below the lower limit of acoustic frequency, this almost everyone knows and learned it in physics class, but these unexplained human behavior ? it's something strange.

    Edit: minor rush while writing the post thanks for the correction ;) .

    These are not low acoustic frequencies, but frequencies below acoustic frequencies. You can read about the effects or application on the Internet. Greater fragmentation would lead to a science called biology ;) .

Topic summary

Infrasound, defined as sound waves with frequencies below 20 Hz, can have significant effects on human health, including resonance in internal organs, leading to discomfort, anxiety, and even insanity in extreme cases. Users shared personal experiences with low-frequency sounds, noting symptoms like dizziness, difficulty breathing, and feelings of irrational fear. Some discussed the potential for infrasound to be generated by various sources, including subwoofers in cars and specific speaker designs. The conversation also touched on the use of infrasound in military applications and its effects on animals and humans during natural phenomena like storms. While some participants expressed skepticism about the dangers of infrasound in home environments, others highlighted the need for caution and awareness regarding prolonged exposure to low-frequency sounds.
