Clarification: The reviewer wrote "most people can not hear frequencies below 30 hz.
How low can one hear Huh?? Say again
I read a review and the reviewer wrote "one can not hear sound below 30 htz" (??)
Of course he was referring to music.
I am not audiologist, but I think this is total B.S.
If that were so,we could all be happy with speakers that just go down to 30htz.
I've had speakers rated at 30htz, 26htz and presently own speakers rated at 20htz.
HUGE difference between the 30htz and 20htz speakers and a very noticeable difference between the 26htz and 20htz speakers.
Where is this reviewer coming from???

This article is interesting and suggests we respond to sounds well below 20 HZ, even if only emotionally. http://www.infrasonicmusic.co.uk/results.htm |
I can't say for sure why that statement can be made. I've read things on hearing that says youngin's can hear down to 16 Hz and the range of normal hearing is 20 Hz to 18 kHz. I can hear (barely) the 20 Hz test tone on the Stereophile Test CD . Granted, it's not very loud through my speakers but it's still audible. It can also be felt - which is a big part of the musical expression with instruments as double basses and contrabassoons. I cannot agree more - speakers that cleanly go low 'n loud express music better. |
