The use of to induce anxiety and uneasiness is a well-documented phenomenon in psychoacoustics, most famously demonstrated in a 2003 large-scale experiment. While humans typically cannot hear sounds below 20 Hz, these waves can be physically felt and have been linked to intense emotional and physiological reactions. The "Sound of God" Experiment (2003)
: This frequency is near the resonant frequency of the human eye (approx. 18 Hz), which can cause vibrating vision that creates "gray apparitions" or peripheral hallucinations.
: Chills down the spine, "shivering on the wrist," and an "odd feeling in the stomach". The "Ghost Frequency" (18.9 Hz) 17_hz_infrasonidos_para_la_ansiedad_inquietud_t...
: Sudden feelings of sorrow, intense anxiety, and "nervous feelings of revulsion or fear".
: Scientists from the National Physical Laboratory used a 7-meter pipe to generate the tone, playing it during specific pieces without the audience's knowledge. The use of to induce anxiety and uneasiness
: Tandy’s research showed that standing waves at this frequency can cause a sensation of chest pressure and a "feeling of a presence" in the room. Mechanism of Anxiety Induction
In May 2003, researchers in London conducted a mass experiment by hiding a within contemporary music during two concerts. 18 Hz), which can cause vibrating vision that
: Out of 750 participants, 22% reported a surge in "odd sensations" specifically when the 17 Hz infrasound was present. Reported Symptoms :
