why loud music is such a rush? copied form somewhere. i give no credit where credit is due.... "Manchester University researchers have discovered that humans may have inherited their love of loud music from fish. They believe that the average bathroom singer or sporting event bawler is encouraged by the sacculus, part of the balance regulating vestibular system in the inner ear. A report in New Scientist magazine says the sacculus is not thought to have any hearing function. Even more curiously, the saccular frequency sensitivity appears to mimic that of fish - the only creature known to use it for hearing. This suggests that the mechanism has been inherited by man from piscine ancestors. When music is played loudly it seems to trigger, through the sacculus, the same part of the brain that produces powerful sensations associated with activities such as sex, hunger and bungee jumping. After tests on about a dozen students, the scientists concluded that the human sacculus seems to respond to music at about 90 decibels upwards. Loud rock and rap music somehow adjusts the balance in the ears. Singing loudly in the bath has the same effect because inside the larynx a Motorhead-level of 130 decibels can be produced or, as the psychologist Neil Todd, who led the study, put it in technical terms: "It's bloody loud in there." In the tests, the saccular sensitivity of students was found to range from 50 hertz to 1000 hertz, peaking at between 300 and 350 hertz. On a musical scale, middle C has a frequency of 261 hertz. "The distribution of frequencies that are typical in rock concerts and at dance clubs almost seem designed to stimulate the sacculus," Mr. Todd said. "They are absolutely smack bang in this range of sensitivity." |

interesting... |

thats cool...ive always wondered why music always affects you differently when its really loud... i wonder if this is the same reason really loud, deep bass makes people nauseous... |

well that certainly explains everything... except: the mystery of who put that mud in the freezer. |

sonic welding is very loud, as in its degree of amplitude, and it employs UHFs (Ultra High Frequency) |

wayout: i read something somewhere that the government was developing a crowd-control weapon that used very low frequency sound to make people nauseous. Police were supposed to use it during riots. Turns out it's so bad that it makes your intestines cramp and your bowels let loose too. |

XLR... that sounds awful! But effective. Much like Buckley's mixture. Oh god, what a horrible weapon... leaves the streets covered in vomit and... other... stuff... |

wow..that sounds pretty rough...how did they test this out to come to this conclusion? i remember reading about this club that plays music brutally loud...and the people who last the longest get like prizes or something... squarepusher says he likes when people start barfing at his shows.. thats also where the plastikman single 'sickness' gets its name...it made people sick |

I guess it's been tested in the U.S. military. Supposedely it has applications in the battlefield as well. taken from a site on EMP & Low frequency weaponry: "The effects that can be produced through the use of ultra-low frequency weapons include: a sense of panic in non-panic situations, temporary paralysis, nausea, diarrhea, vertigo, palpitations, disorientation, severe headaches, loss of memory, loss of concentration, retinal bleeding, faulty speech, loss of co-ordination, irritability, and even sleep disturbances." |

so essentially they found the "brown" noise, right? |
||||||||
|

|

that kind of armoury could probably operate underwater, too. |
