Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?


Schumann Resonators are little boxes you plug into the wall that produce electromagnetic radiation tuned to 7.83 Hz. This is the frequency that the earth/atmosphere system “rings” at when the Earth is struck by lightning. It is also a common frequency your brain “ticks” at.

When employed in the listening room, many people claim it makes their audio sound better. If this is true, then what is the mechanism of action?

-Is it a matter of the resonator producing a more relaxed mental state?
-Does it help block or alter electromagnetic interference?
-Does it add its own electromagnetic interference to your system that just so happens to be pleasing?

I experimented with one recently and what I noticed is that it seemed to remove some of the high frequency nasties or what some might call “digital glare” (although digital glare can also show up in analog systems). When I made this observation, the resonator was placed right next to my power strip that my CD player, preamp and some other devices are plugged into.

My “proof” of the effect is that I could turn the volume up louder than usual without it sounding “too loud.” The sound levels of the system weren’t any quieter, it’s just that the digital glare was reduced so that I could go louder before thinking “this is too loud,” which usually isn’t a sound level thing per se but the point as which some frequency (often the highs) become irritating.

So who here has experience with these devices? Do you like them? Does anyone know why they work?

Hey mapman, did your auto spellcheck just malfunction and write cosmic instead of comic?
As a side note, be suspicious of products that are advertised as patent pending. I worked for a patent law firm and learned that anyone can apply for a patent for anything for a small filing fee. Filing doesn’t in any way imply the product has merit. It literally means someone filled out the form and paid the filing fee. Please know that a high percentage of applications are rejected. If a patent application is denied there is no governing authority that makes someone remove the “patent pending” claim. Also note that the patent process is not typically a long one. So if a product has been touted as having a patent pending for a long period, that is cause for suspicion and probably indicates that the patent was denied. I’m not saying all patent pending claims are bogus. But it doesn’t carry any weight with me. 
Uh, there is such a thing as being overly suspicious. Give us a break, you were never going to invest in Schumann frequency generators anyway. It’s not like some huge decision, for crying out loud. The ones I bought, the super-accurate Black USB doodad from Hong Kong is only 50 bucks. The Blue one is only $25. Cut me some slack, Jack

I’m worried now but I won’t be worried long.

Faint heart ne’er won fair maiden. 💃 
I dont know and I dont think that the cheap version is accurate at 10 bucks all included in the long run.... But listening to them without mods made an audible effect for the better.... And linking then whith stones and crystals way more so.... Then ? where is the risk? I pay 65 bucks all in all for my 5 S.G. 2 with a power supply...The effect is more amazing than any cable upgrade can produce at any price... Or do some cable change completely the global characteristic of the sound and imaging and timbre?
Ah the old “50 bucks is beggar change on this site so don’t sweat it” pitch.  Works every time!
