[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 4904124, member: 592162"] immacomputer I think ur confusing the difference between 'hearing' something or it being 'audible' and, 'detecting' sometihng. Your brain simply cannot process sound below a certain point, yes its still audible, but not to the human ear. Yes your ear picks it up...as your ear is a passive tool, but that doesn't mean your brain understands it and can process it and tell you its sound. As far as your brain is concerned..its nothing but pressure, where as at say 40hz...your brain can process the frequency and knows its sound And either way, human hearing is attenuated well before 20hz, so even if you want to still say we can 'hear' below 20hz, it would take enourmous amounts of pressure to create enough that our brain can process it the way it can process 100hz at moderate pressure levels edit: just read the article... Arguing that you can 'hear' below 20hz, is like arguing that a deaf person can hear. Yes, they can detect sound if its loud enough to impact other sensory parts of our bodies, but they can't hear it [/QUOTE]
