Re: I thought this was interesting regarding INFRASOUND effects on Humans

[Guest guest]

hi,

I do not know what Hz (extreme Bass) is that seems so popular but

it irrigates me very much as said by other members. But maybe these

low frequencies played also cause young people some of the social

problems they are having these days. Excessive drinking or drugs

because of their sadness but they continue to play (dance, house

music with extreme bass) Just an idea.

ps: Happy New Years Everybody
