If I blasted 15 hertz at 150 dB would I be deaf?

Isn't there an identical thread around here somewhere?

How about you trying, then let us know!

or at those energy levels dead rather than deaf, seriously I reckon there is a reasonable chance you would die. Interested to know the result though.

- google infrasound - can also induce nausea at much lower power levels, also suspected of causing people to see ghosts and buy expensive cables.

Mythbusters also did a special on the use of sound to affect the body, but nothing happened to Adam I think they went after the 'make the bass so loud you poo your pants'! myth.

 

[MrGreen]

A sound of this magnitude and frequency will perforate the ear drum and cause deafness (although temporary).

I couldn't say whether it woudl damage the hairs inside the inner ear.

Steve meade could probably answer that question

It's really amazing that he isn't deaf yet. That video was 20,000w. His latest system has 30,000w. I don't think there is much music though as low as 15hz, that is very low sub-bass, not so much as heard as felt. It could probably cause some serious damage to your organs if it was loud enough.


Yeah, see here's 15hz:
