[edit] References
Don't say the scientist use names and references
==Rumors==what about the rumors of it causing gastrointestinal problems at high volume?
what about extremely loud bass in car stereos collapsing lungs that have been weakened by disease? (this is real. i read it in a news article.) - Omegatron 20:02, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
supposedly the ear acts as a filter (which makes sense) and since no filter is ideal, will still respond to infrasound if it is loud enough, meaning people can supposedly hear down to 10 Hz or so at tremendous amplitudes. Is this real? - Omegatron 02:08, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Very loud infrasound may be perceived as vibrations in any part of the body (it's what earthquakes are).
I am fairly sure that common speakers are not capable of emitting infrasound frequencies... how should we then understand the claim that some movies, such as Irreversible, use infrasound on the viewers? --Tjfulopp 20:20, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Why wouldn't they be able to? - Omegatron 21:38, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps this page should contain a small paragraph about the connection between infrasound and binaural beats
I don't know if I'm stretching it, but could animals detect disaster through infrasonic waves? Delete if irrelevant. Gotikplage 14:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lower limit
Where did the lower limit of 0.001 Hz in our definition come from? All the references I can find (such as Oxford Reference Online and xreferplus.com) mention no such limit. --Heron 18:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
- Someone who wrote the article probably thought that less than that is not a sound, but more like wind -Iopq 07:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vladimir Gavreau
I added a small paragraph about Vladimir Gavreau. He does not have a page about him in Wikipedia, but he is an important person to know about when dealing with infrasound. I'll include my book sources on the page as well. (Sorry I was not logged in when I decided to post that.) Gotikplage 14:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] miles
When mentioning miles, mention kms, and first.
[edit] lowest frequency
I was messing around with Audacity and the generate tone function, I can only hear sound at 50Hz and higher is that normal?
- It's your speakers. -Iopq 07:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Effects on other sences
Dr. Ciaran O'Keefe has mentioned that infrasound that's on the coops of human hearing can play on our other senses such as 'corner-of-the-eye phenomena' (vision), however can it affect our sense of smell or any other senses? -- Fribins talk
