You know that feeling you get in your gut when you think something bad is about to happen? Or a feeling of paranoia when watching a horror film? These feelings are created through very careful manipulation of a few elements such as camera shots, use of music, silence etc. As it turns out, in many cases, the scariest sounds in horror films are in fact the ones we cannot hear. Sound designers are beginning to reveal that they are using what is called "infrasound" to make their movies seem more fr
The hallmark signs of a haunted house and feelings of uneasiness might actually be produced by something called infrasound, according to British scientists.
Infrasound is an extremely low frequency sound, one which is below the 20HZ mark, and which is undetectable to the human ear. A number of animals use infrasound as a means to communicate with each other. The long list includes giraffes, whales, and elephants. It’s a form of communication in the animal kingdom that can
A German doctor raises the alarm over the impact of infrasound from wind turbines.
Wind developers face liability in the millions for the nuisance caused by unrelenting, turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. Litigation is where the rubber hits the road: myths get …
(image: Vladimir Gavreau) Infrasound is low frequency audio beneath the human range of hearing. Infrasound constantly surrounds us, generated naturally; wind, waves, earthquakes and by man; buildin…
This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)A new technology under development will ultimately detect distant enemy rockets and artillery fire, providing early warning — and potentially saving lives. A team from the Florida Institute of Technology and the University of Florida are working on sensors that detect infrasound, which is not audible to the […]
It is said that places haunted with ghosts and paranormal forces are engulfed in a strange environment. Such places are found to be surrounded with frequencies below human audible range, i.e. infra sound range. A simple experiment of creating similar effects using an infrasound generator can be conducted in your house itself. Learn the set-up procedure here in this Bright Hub electronics article.
You might wonder if evil spirits are real, especially with 41% of Americans believing in them. In reality, no scientific evidence supports the existence of such entities. Paranormal experiences are often due to environmental factors or psychological phenomena, and ghost hunting devices aren't reliable. Misinterpretations of normal events, like temperature changes or infrasound, can create
