A recent study explored how infrasound affects the human body. Infrasound is sound at frequencies too low for people to hear. The research began after a conversation between neuroscientist Kale Scatterty and his colleague, who wanted to test if infrasound causes stress in humans, like it does in zebrafish.
The team conducted an experiment with thirty-six participants. Each person sat alone in a room and listened to either calming music or unsettling ambient music. Half of the participants were exposed to infrasound from hidden speakers. The researchers expected people would feel more relaxed with calming music or more scared by unsettling music when infrasound was present.
However, the results showed something different. Participants felt more irritated and anxious with infrasound, regardless of the music. Their cortisol levels, which indicate stress, increased significantly. Importantly, none of the participants could tell when the infrasound was present.
The researchers noted that while infrasound might contribute to feelings of unease, it is not the only cause of ghostly experiences. Other factors, such as expectations about spooky events, also play a role. Infrasound might be just one part of the reason why some people feel haunted in certain places.
