Infrasound, a very low frequency sound below the limit of audibility, can cause strange and disturbing sensations in people. A study found that 750 participants exposed to infrasound at a concert reported shivering, anxiety, fear, repulsion, and pain. The findings could explain some ghostly encounters. Infrasound occurs naturally from storms, earthquakes, and animals. The tiny hairs in the ear conduct sound, even during sleep, and earwax is not necessary to remove.
If you’ve ever had goosebumps for no reason or suddenly felt inexplicable discomfort, you may be the victim not of a ghostly encounter, but of infrasound.
Infrasound is very low frequency sound (below 20Hz) that people are not even aware they hear, as it is below the lower limit of audibility. However, some people seem to “hear” infrasound in strange and sometimes disturbing ways.
Acoustic scientist Richard Lord of the National Physical Laboratory in England helped lead a study in which 750 people attended a concert in which infrasound was piped to certain points. The results were amazing. XNUMX% of participants reported feeling strange sensations when listening to infrasound, even if they were unaware when this was happening. Their reactions included shivering, anxiety, fear, repulsion and even extreme pain, without knowing why.
The professor. Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire who was also involved in the research, said the findings could help explain what happens in some seemingly otherworldly situations. “Some scientists have suggested that this level of sound could be present at some supposedly haunted sites and thus cause people to feel strange sensations that they attribute to a ghost – our findings support these ideas,” he said.
While infrasound was man-made for study, it also occurs naturally. Everything from storms and earthquakes to elephants can produce deep bass sound.
Now listen to this:
The tiny hairs inside the ear are responsible for conducting sound and being able to hear.
Even if you seem to feel nothing while you sleep, you still are; your brain just turns off the noise.
Unless you have certain conditions, it’s not necessary to remove earwax from your ears. they remove the excess themselves.
