- platz 7y ago> It’s not clear exactly what you hear on Geeven’s recording. She guesses it could be something small like a data transmission that is resonating, but she can’t be sure. In a Heisenberg-ian twist, it seems possible that some of the sounds were created by the devices themselves. "Exactly knowing what it is is not important I believe," she says. "Mysteries are important. They act as engines for new thoughts and ideas."
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoWere are you pulling that link from? I'm interested to learn more about this - I'm also interested in the technical details about things like what dB the sound was originally. That's quite the rumble - I suspect there was quite a bit of amplification involved.

- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoThanks! > "I later learned that blind people can 'hear' thunderstorms because the low frequency can be sensed in the body" Huh. Amazing no one has commented on that.
- finnh 7y agoI suppose she meant deaf people? Not too surprising - a loud thunderclap rattles windows, and seems likely to have low enough tones to be sensed internally. I remember reading about deaf sports teams using low-frequency gongs in place of whistles.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoYeah, I assume deaf as well. Just funny that neither she nor wired caught it.
- lonelappde 7y agoSo it's goopy pseudoscience?
