  2. Infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

    The report "A Review of Published Research on Low Frequency Noise and its Effects" [54] contains a long list of research about exposure to high-level infrasound among humans and animals. For instance, in 1972, Borredon exposed 42 young men to tones at 7.5 Hz at 130 dB for 50 minutes.

  3. Colors of noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise

    Noise that has a frequency spectrum of predominantly zero power level over all frequencies except for a few narrow bands or spikes. Note: An example of black noise in a facsimile transmission system is the spectrum that might be obtained when scanning a black area in which there are a few random white spots. Thus, in the time domain, a few ...

  4. List of unexplained sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds

    The name was given because the sound slowly decreases in frequency over about seven minutes. It was recorded using an autonomous hydrophone array. [8] The sound has been picked up several times each year since 1997. [9] One of the hypotheses on the origin of the sound is moving ice in Antarctica. Sound spectrograms of vibrations caused by ...

  5. Noise in music - Wikipedia

    The best-known examples include Haydn's Symphony No. 100, which acquired its nickname, "The Military", from its use of these instruments, and three of Beethoven's works: the "alla marcia" section from the finale of his Symphony No. 9 (an early sketch reads: "end of the Symphony with Turkish music"), his "Wellington's Victory"—or Battle ...

  6. Low-frequency effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-frequency_effects

    LFEs include both low-pitched musical notes and low-pitched sound effects. The musical soundtrack for many films includes bass instruments that produce very low notes. . Until the 1970s, most of the low-pitched instruments were natural, acoustic instruments, such as the double bass or the pipe organ's pedal key

    Acoustic – frequency of G −7, the lowest note sung by the singer with the deepest voice in the world, Tim Storms. His vocal cords vibrate 1 time every 5.29 seconds. 10 0: 1 hertz (Hz) 1 to 1.66 Hz: Approximate frequency of an adult human's resting heart beat: 1 Hz: 60 bpm, common tempo in music 2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz

  8. Low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_frequency

    Low frequency (LF) is the ITU designation [1] [2] for radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 30–300 kHz. Since its wavelengths range from 10–1 km , respectively, it is also known as the kilometre band or kilometre waves .

  9. Room modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_modes

    Most rooms have their fundamental resonances in the 20 Hz to 200 Hz region, each frequency being related to one or more of the room's dimensions or a divisor thereof. These resonances affect the low-frequency low-mid-frequency response of a sound system in the room and are one of the biggest obstacles to accurate sound reproduction.
