Medical Certain sound frequencies to induce mind moods

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the concept of infrasound, which refers to low-frequency sounds below 20 Hertz. The initial mention relates to a childhood book featuring characters who experience fear in a castle due to an old movie star using inaudible frequencies to scare people. The conversation then shifts to a claim about certain acid music being banned for its mood-altering effects through specific frequencies. While skepticism is expressed regarding the banning of music for this reason, it is noted that infrasound can induce unusual sensations and feelings. Participants encourage further research on the topic, providing a link to a relevant article for additional information.

When i was a kid i read the first book on hitscock the 3 investigators Bob Pete and Jupiter the castle of terror where everytime they would go to the castle they would be terrify, in the end an old movie star would have been hiding in the castle and scare people by using a certain no audible frequency

15 years ago i heard on the news that certain acid music was banned since it induced changes in mood by using certain frequencies

Im interested in some link or info that deals with this subject

Just do some googling on it.
