Yesterday i tested a bass combo in the living room. I played a bit loud to make sure the speakers were ok.

Hmmm... Apparently due to the physics involved, the Brown Note occurs at a higher frequency for smaller animals...

Hahaha...

Moved my 75gal fishtank a few months ago... While I was distracted, I noticed my 3-year-old daughter was drumming on a few of the plastic tubs I had my fish in (while the main fish tank was empty).

By the 2nd day post-move, every fish was belly-up except for the two who were in a different bucket that she never touched... I guess it is true: Water transmits the full SPL, while air is a poor transmission medium.

Killing an aquatic animal with volume is like shooting fish in a barrel...

I used to have tropical fish and I kept them feet away from my amp. Nothing bad seems to have happened to them. Infact all I have left now is a Pleco catfish (apparently when he dies my parents will refurbish my room?!) and he seems to love the bass. Either he loves it or it aggitates him, its hard to gauge the emotions of catfish.

All I know is that he waits until I try and sleep then goes and grinds all the pebbles in the tank to get the algae of them. Noisy brute...
