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.

How do humans use infrasound?

Humans use infrasound for various purposes such as detecting earthquakes, monitoring volcanic activity, and studying wildlife behavior. Infrasound is also utilized in communication systems and for medical imaging. Some studies suggest that exposure to certain infrasound frequencies may have physiological effects on humans.


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.


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.


Is infrasound used to clean glassware?

No, but you can use ultrasound to clean glassware.


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.


Sound waves with frequencies below the normal human range of hearing are called?

Infrasound.


What sounds can't humans hear?

Humans can't hear sounds that are below 20Hz (infrasound) or above 20,000Hz (ultrasound). Infrasound is produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and by some animals, while ultrasound is used in medical imaging and by animals like bats for echolocation.


What is the range of frequencies of infrasound?

Infrasound typically refers to sound waves with frequencies below the threshold of human hearing, which is generally considered to be below 20 Hz. Thus, the range of frequencies for infrasound is usually from 0.1 Hz to 20 Hz.


Can humans hear infrasound?

yes


Can you hear infrasound?

Humans cannot consciously hear infrasound, as it falls below the threshold of normal hearing (below 20 Hz). However, there is some evidence that infrasound can be perceived as a feeling of unease or fear, as it may cause vibrations within the body.


Which is longer-wavelength of infrasound or ultrasound?

Infrasound has longer wavelengths compared to ultrasound. Infrasound waves have frequencies below the range of human hearing (below 20 Hz), while ultrasound waves have frequencies above the range of human hearing (above 20 kHz), leading to their differences in wavelength.


Is there a device to detect low frequency infra sound waves?

Yes, there are devices called infrasound detectors that can measure low-frequency infrasound waves. These detectors typically use specialized sensors to capture infrasound signals and can be used in various applications such as monitoring seismic activity, detecting natural disasters, or studying animal behavior.
