Joseph Pochciol » Blog Archive » Bass so low it's on the edge of perception. Back at the start of this course I was interested in the extremes of the audio frequency range.
I was particularly interested in sub bass frequencies and infrasound. When producing music I like to use lots of sub bass. This probably goes back to a few years ago, when I started listening to more and more dub influenced music. Grime / Dubstep: Grime / Dubstep. Right now, a fierce debate is raging amongst critics and fans of the bassier side of things-- some call it "post-dubstep" while others call it "bass music" or refer to it by tempo ("130bpm").
Everyone is trying to avoid giving it a name, but are these emerging sounds the real deal or the emperors' new clothes? It's perhaps easier to say what post-dubstep/130bpm/bass music isn't than what it is. It isn't grime, either in its pop, instrumental underground, or MC-lead variants. Behind the music: Bass, the final frontier. A songwriter and producer I know recently told me that every time he meets US record labels these days they ask if he's got "any of that dubstep stuff".
However, the only way you'll hear dubstep on US radio is if a few bars are slotted into a Britney Spears track. This is one of the reasons why UKFDubstep (there's also a UKF Drum & Bass channel) has become one of the most popular music channels on YouTube, currently racking up almost 1.2m subscribers – with 60% of them coming from the US. AEI Media, the company behind the channel, is doing its bit to employ young British talent. Sonic Weapons. The human ear can only hear a limited part of the sound spectrum.
Above that range is ultrasound and below it is infrasound; although largely unheard, vibrations in these ranges can still affect the human body in ways that are quite different from the informational aspect of simply listening. These higher and lower registers of sound frequencies are, today, the stuff of imaginative speculation. While the conspiracy watchers believe they are the basis of secret weapons research for covert operations, mind control and other conspiratorial uses, another, more idealistic, school associates them with meditative states and magical technology.

Hansen, University of Adelaide published 2007 • ISBN 0906522 45 5 • ix + 416pp • 42.50 The effect of low frequency noise and vibration on people is an important issue for communities around many industrial facilities and an transportation systems. There are a number of research groups throughout the world which have been actively researching these effects. This book brings together, for the first time in one set of covers, over thirty papers on the effects of low frequency noise and vibration on people. The papers are arranged under five headings: • Perception thresholds for low frequency noise.
Rick's Sound Frequency Page. I Gave My Ears to Rock and Roll - Jon Fine. Wearing earplugs could have saved the author’s hearing, but at the cost of his soul.
Courtesy Jone Fine: Original photograph by Martha Bayne Above: The author playing guitar in New York City, in the late ’80s, his hearing more or less intact What do you hear when there’s nothing to hear? Seriously. I want to know. Music is forever, especially if you turn it up enough, and many 30- and 40-something indie-rock grads have long subjected their ears to truly astonishing stress. Extreme volume is nerd-macho. I finally started wearing earplugs onstage in 2002, after playing a particularly deafening show. “I had a really weird experience playing our penultimate show,” says Pat Mahoney, the drummer for the just-disbanded LCD Soundsystem. I haven’t experienced anything that dramatic, aside from that feedback-induced near-emesis.
Not good. When I visit an audiologist, Dr. Over to the soundproof booth, where Dr. (1) Why do so many humans like bass sound in music. The effect of Sound Frequencies on the Body. When coming to examine the effect of sounds we need to refer to variety of characteristics.
We know that there are sounds because we can hear them. Even as novice we know instantaneously that sounds have basic characteristics like, volume and frequency because we can sense volume and we can sense intonation. We usually base our reaction to sound effect according to our subjective criteria, which could be our neutral, pleasant or unpleasant experience of it. This occurs through our hearing sense and, to some extent, through our touch sense. Yet, when coming to examine sound from a scientific point of view one needs tools that are much more objective than the human ear in order to study sounds phenomena and effect, tools that are commonly used in acoustic science.
From a scientific point of view the basic characteristics of sounds are sound waves and sound particles. As mentioned, sound passes via a medium and that includes our body, which is also a medium.
