432hz

You're not talking about frequency response, but kinetic transfer of energy. Mechanical interatctions aren't music. You can become permanently deaf by firing a cannon next to your head. Is there something evil about the tone of a cannon?
I am saying that acoustical energy, sound waves, can affect the body. Is that not what music is? However we perceive it, organize it in our heads, the actual sound waves are occuring, no?

As long as the band is in tune with each other I don’t care… it’s when they’re not that everything gets gross.

I will also say I like Microtonal music, but the instruments need to be in-tune interval wise and intonation as well as with each other.

A specific flavor of the year comes to mind when hearing their live (the one everyone geeked on - vs their recorded work (which is pretty awesome)). The live version is unlistenable to me… album version is very good…
 
Google "Is Accupuncture widely accepted in western culture?"
"Yes, acupuncture is widely accepted in Western culture" is the first response.
That is all I said about acupuncture in my posting.

Sorry, but you're just taking AI (google) at face value and claiming it as fact.

"Accepted in western culture" doesn't mean it's an evidence based, medically proven treatment. Many things are "accepted" in western culture with no basis beyond feelings.

If you look at the first study the google AI cites, it's basically a survey of ~30 "medical professionals" (from MD, Nurses, Physiotherapists) who are trained in Acupuncture (already confirmation bias there), asking about their feelings regarding patient outcomes of the practice. Here's a quote from the study:
"It is the only medicine that existed in China before, so everything can be treated by acupuncture. (Female, physician, 63 years.)"

All the study does is confirm that professionals who are already heavily invested in acupuncture, have a positive view of the practice and believe that it improves patient outcomes.

The fact that google's AI used this study to claim acupuncture is accepted, evidence based practice is laughable... if a first year university student used this study as a primary evidence of such claim in a paper, they should be called out immediately. But it's google, so let's all take what it says as fact with no scrutiny.
 
Well, there is/was the use of subsonic sound generators tuned for 5 hz which the French police used at one time to break up demonstrations by loosening the protesters' bowels.
I’m trying to fathom the amount of energy and the equipment to generate 5hz in a way that could be used on a crowd let alone one person.

LRAD on the other hand in deterrent / alarm mode is 2k to 4k @ 160+ db. If I remember correctly there was an iteration that was 1k deflected at like a 30 degree angle.

The sheer amount of energy to do crowd deterrent with 5hz would be staggering. I’ve read the myth of 5hz to 9hz being the brown note, but we don’t see the resonant frequency of the earth making people shart.

I can’t find any information on this 5hz weapon. I’d love to read more if there is actual info on it.

I read about the "brown-noter" decades ago, I have absolutely no recollection of where. I am in all ways unqualified to comment on the acoustic engineering aspects of the procedure.

Huh, reading this made something click for me. Years ago I played in a band that tuned to 432hz, I thought it was a little strange but the singer had a deep baritone and the guitarist played a 7-string so I went with it just thinking that's what they did. Looking back the guitarist was into a lot of alternative stuff and went down the early internet conspiracy rabbit hole later on.

Funny how things all come together like that.

This kind of stuff goes into so many weird cracks and crevices of the various rabbit holes that you can't know when someone is into this stuff unless you've heard about the specific thing they're in to.

Ever heard of the Breatharians? Well the first Breatharians hadn't, because that term was invented as a joke about restrictive diets. But for the past 50 years or so, various people have been running scams shilling garbage about how you never have to eat.

I mean, technically you don't have to eat. But you'll be pretty miserable for a while and quickly you'll be dead.
