Frequencies of Inaudible High-Frequency Sounds Differentially Affect Brain Activity: Positive and Negative Hypersonic Effects. Abstract The hypersonic effect is a phenomenon in which sounds containing significant quantities of non-stationary high-frequency components (HFCs) above the human audible range (max. 20 kHz) activate the midbrain and diencephalon and evoke various physiological, psychological and behavioral responses.
Hypersonic effect - Wikipedia. The hypersonic effect is a term coined to describe a phenomenon reported in a controversial scientific study by Tsutomu Oohashi et al.,[3] which claims that, although humans cannot consciously hear ultrasound (sounds at frequencies above approximately 20 kHz),[4][5][6][7] the presence or absence of those frequencies has a measurable effect on their physiological and psychological reactions.
Numerous other studies have contradicted the portion of the results relating to the subjective reaction to high-frequency audio, finding that people who have "good ears"[8][dead link] listening to Super Audio CDs and high resolution DVD-Audio recordings[9] on high fidelity systems capable of reproducing sounds up to 30 kHz[10] cannot tell the difference between high resolution audio and the normal CD sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.[8][11][12][13] Favoring evidence[edit] Contrary evidence[edit] There are contradictions in Oohashi's results.[3][12]
The 432Hz 'God' Note: Why Fringe Audiophiles Want to Topple Standard Tuning. The first time Ivan Yanakiev heard an instrument tuned to 432 Hertz, he says, it was like he’d heard God speak.
In the men’s dressing room at the Musical Drama Theatre Konstantin Kisimov in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Yanakiev, a young, National Academy-schooled conductor, had his friend, Velimir, tune his cello down eight Hz from the standard A=440Hz.

According to scientists, This is the most relaxing tune ever recorded. This eight minute song is a beautiful combination of arranged harmonies, rhythms and bass lines and thus helps to slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and lower levels of the stress.
The song features guitar, piano and electronic samples of natural soundscapes. A study was conducted on 40 women, who were connected to sensors and had been given challenging puzzles to complete against the clock in order to induce a level of stress. Different songs were then played, to test their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and brain activity. The results showed that the song Weightless was 11 per cent more relaxing than any other song and even caused drowsiness among women in the lab. It induced a 65 per cent reduction in overall anxiety and brought them to a level 35 per cent lower than their usual resting rates.
