Infrasound and the Architecture of Awe: How Frequencies Below Human Hearing Reshape Emotional Experience and Spatial Perception

Mar 238 min

Below the threshold of conscious hearing — in the frequency range from one to twenty hertz — sound ceases to be an auditory experience and becomes a whole-body phenomenon, vibrating organ cavities, shifting fluid pressures, and activating vestibular receptors in ways that produce profound emotional and perceptual effects without any awareness that acoustic energy is the cause.
