Infrasound is merely sound of a very low frequency. Usually a few Hz.
Vladmir Gavreau experimented with infrasonic devices, and if the frequency is appropriately (?) chosen, the internal organs of a human may be made to resonate. Experimentation may be dangerous to your health.
The military application of this effect as a weapon is somewhat limited by the long distance reach of the weapon, affecting friendly forces as well as enemy. These infrasonic waves may easily pass through concrete and tank walls.
Some experiments also include crowd control by repulsion - perhaps nausea.

What frequencies can different animals hear?
Infrasound ( below the range of human hearing ) Sonic Range ( within the range ofhuman hearing ) Ultrasound ( above range of human hearing )
Does a lion roar cause fear?
The roar of a lion mostly constitutes infrasound among other frequencies. Infrasound has been known to cause feelings of awe or fear in humans. Since it is not consciously perceived, it can make people feel vaguely that supernatural events are taking place.
What are the specialized structures that animals use in feeding?
There are many specialized structures that animals use in feeding. Some animals use sharp teeth while others use sheer arm power.
Do an elephant have super sense?
yes,a elephant has a super sense. it is its huge ears.
What do animals use water for?
Animals use water to carry oxygen to their bloodstream to help them live. They do this by drinking it. Some animals use water to clean themselves or to cool down. Some live in it. Animals like humans also use it to create energy.
Is it illegal to use infrasound?
No- in fact, it is used in devices to control the behaviour of dogs and other animals with hearing that goes above human pitch. However, there are a few people with-hyper-sensitive hearing who can actually pick up infrasound, if not as an actual noise then as uncomfortable vibrations.
Is infrasound used to clean glassware?
No, but you can use ultrasound to clean glassware.
Which is longer-wavelength of infrasound or ultrasound?
Infrasound has a longer wavelength.
Can you hear infrasound?
Humans are able to hear infrasound, depending upon frequency and amplitude.
What is the range of frequencies of infrasound?
Range of frequency associated with infrasound is less than 20Hz.
Can humans hear infrasound?
yes
Is echolocation also known as infrasound?
No, infrasound is the frequency of sound that is too low for humans to hear, below 20 hertz, but is used for communicating by elephants and other animals. Echolocation is normally ultrasound, the frequency above our hearing range, higher than 20,000 hertz, and is used by bats and dolphins in echolocation.
Why is it useful for animals to use infrasound for communication?
Infra-sound signals are sound waves below 20 Hz. These cannot be sensed by the human ear, but the main advantage of this is that it can travel long distances without distortion. Hence animals like elephants use infra-sounds for communicating with other members of their species that might be wandering far apart.
What frequencies can different animals hear?
Infrasound ( below the range of human hearing ) Sonic Range ( within the range ofhuman hearing ) Ultrasound ( above range of human hearing )
Why is infra-sound useful for detecting animals?
Firstly, water is a basic neccesity of life for all organisms. Where there are waterfalls there will also be sourrounding vegetation and a wide range of biodiverse communities. It would be extremely helpful for animals to be able to detect waterfalls as they would know were a constant source of water is. Herbivores would find vegetation Carnivores/onmivores would find prey as other animals would congregate there Animals would find mates for breeding These are all essencial for healthy ecosystems
What kind of sound is used for cleaning glassware?
infrasound
What are Frequencies below 20 Hz?
infrasounds
