Certain sound frequencies to induce mind moods

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of "infrasound," which refers to low-frequency sounds below 20 Hertz that can induce various emotional and physical sensations. Participants mention historical references, including a book featuring characters experiencing fear due to inaudible frequencies, and a claim about acid music being banned for its mood-altering effects. While skepticism exists regarding the banning of music, the potential impact of infrasound on human emotions is acknowledged. A relevant article from BBC News is provided for further reading.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of infrasound and its frequency range
  • Familiarity with sound wave properties and human perception
  • Knowledge of psychological effects of sound on mood
  • Basic research skills for exploring scientific articles
NEXT STEPS

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

You're referring to "infrasound". low frequency sounds less than 20 Hertz. I doubt any music was banned due to it, but it is said to induce a variety of strange sensations and feelings.

Just do some googling on it.
