An infrasound at 1Hz is essentially a puff of air every second. Open and close a door in a small room and you'll get a pretty strong one.
If it was inherently harmful we wouldn't be able to open a window on any windy day.
Or perhaps there's something hypnotic due to the frequency being so constant?

[0] It's easy to handle anything for a while, like a crying child during a 30 minute bus ride. But when the same noise is extended over a 14 hour flight with no way to escape, you'll start to feel it. Some people handle auditory interruptions better than others. Infrasound, to my knowledge, hasn't been really studied in a cross-field type of way. It's always just engineers doing measurements with meters and drawing graphs. There are very few studies on the psychological effects of man-made infrasound.
