Schumann Resonator

@sokogear Get a dB meter.
Play pink noise through your system at a level to read at about -50 or -60 dB. Use a fixed position for your meter. Turn on the Schumann device.
Read the meter, It should increase by a 1/4 to a 1/2 dB. .
A small change but still significant. Any fractional dB increase is still a lot of energy.

I was done with this topic for now but can’t let incorrect information go:

No, this can’t be assuming the device is emitting em radiation at that frequency ( not sound) it will NOT show on a sound meter. You would need a sensing device sensitive to that wavelength/frequency in the EMR spectrum (se link I provided above) to detect that. Not a sound/db meter.

This argument is all over the place. One minute its effect of EM radiation from devices like this and transformers on electronic circuits, next its the same device producing sound not EMR that you will detect on a sound meter.

It's  like homeopath medicine it cures everything. 

Where can I find some scientific papers that back up this claim?

The reason the Schumann frequency affects you, and all human physiology is because the frequency induces a calming, relaxed, yet alert and focused influence.

Think a bit.....Like few seconds....
The theta waves in the brain work on the same frequencies.... Do you need a doctorate to understand that MAYBE the device could help....

The fact that we could ask for scientific experiments about that is one thing but doubting the fact CANNOT be a reason to stay still and not buying a cheap device reviewed for decade in audio thread for his sonic improvement... It does not need a very plastic brain to understand that...

The ratio: FUN experiment and possibleS.Q.increase/ money invested, is incredibly positive.... Is it so difficult to understand?

Associating S.G. with homeopathy is so stupid for 2 reasons i will not comment....

I am tired of the deluded zealots crowds but not less tired of the sunday sceptic crowds....

Experimenting is not believing or doubting, it is the 2 simultaneously in a process called thinking...Buying a peanut cost device is EXPERIMENTING....

This argument is all over the place. One minute its effect of EM radiation from devices like this and transformers on electronic circuits, next its the same device producing sound not EMR that you will detect on a sound meter.

Bemused is very clear.... The market publicity is very clear, Everybody knows that this device dont affect the sound DIRECTLY...And do not produce sound....

Your sentence prove you have not understood bemused posts.... Or if you have understood them you stir the pot with a confusion NOBODY make...The S.G. dont affect the sound DIRECTLY but through a resonance with the E.M. field...then some frequencies may be affected more than other and this energy level even low can be neasured...

For me it is very clear this is the case with my experience with minerals on a modified S.G.

How can shungite or herkimer diamond, put separately or together on top of an S.G. , can affect the sound if not by a specific resonance with the audio system E.M. field....

ALL E.M. of ALL the appliances in your house are in resonance with one another ....This is the general specific noise floor of your house....One of my embeddings controls precisely work by decreasing it : the "golden plates".... It is not "snake oil", my idea is free and it cost peanuts to try it....IT IS AN EXPERIMENT....

I have given ideas about experiments here, i did for 2 years, about embeddings controls and people replicate with stupid sceptic mantras like alzheimer brain repeating the same formula: placebo, snake oil, etc




The fact a more sensitive device than a regular DB meter would be needed to measure the db or energy involved dont invalidate the general idea of Bemused....

@bemused,@mapman

I am just trying to get some agreement on whether these things change the actual measurable sound in the room. Not how we process it.

I am not an acoustical or sound engineer (but admittedly am an engineer who believes in science and showing how experiments support theories on a repeatable basis). You say it should increase the sound by a fraction of a dB. Have you done this? Is that tiny increase noticeable?

I don't have a DB meter or pink noise generator and am not sure that is what a microphone is measuring in preparation for acoustic treatment. I thought it looks at different frequencies. I don't have one of those either. 

Please can a unbiased person do this?

I hear @mahgister talk about metal plates and diamonds and crystals and all sorts of other random things he recommends adding to the SGs. I was once told by a non medical professional (I forget how she positioned herself - maybe a healer?) how a magical crystal filled electric powered pad (not scientifically measurable or mentioning heat) cures all ills - it turned out to be a super expensive heating pad, which of course has benefits if used properly. I know @mahgister is not making any money off of this, and if it sounds better to him, then great. A glass of his favorite beverage would improve the sound to him as well.

When @millercarbon says the more the better, and no law of diminishing returns, then why not fill the room with them since they are so inexpensive? The law of diminishing returns is always true Chuck.

What is important to us should be whether or not these are actual audio devices that change the sound, just like acoustic panels and bass traps do, vibration control devices do, equalizers do, DBXs & 3BXs (remember those) or are they some type of biological influencer like the temperature or humidity of the room, even smells or lighting in the room (not its electrical effects on the circuit if on the same one as the stereo or magnetic impact of daylight). And if they are biological, that is OK - enjoy, but don't mention them as an audio enhancer. Maybe a mood enhancer.
