The Inaudible Sounds That Make Movies Scarier - Cheddar Explains

Sound is a vital element of any film. But what about sounds you can't hear? In this video, Cheddar Explains how sub-bass sounds, and infrasounds can be used to mess with the human body - from discomfort, to straight-up anxiety. #halloween #movies #spookyseason

It would have been a good joke if the video was talking about how they use “silence” in horror movie soundtracks to build up the tension. Or like when there’s a big explosion and all that’s in the soundtrack is a high pitched frequency to emulate the temporary loss of hearing experienced when that happens. But that’s not what this video was about.

Bianca Robertson OK please enlighten me as to how anything in the video suggests that being deaf/silence is what is making the horror movies have their effect. Because it’s not, it’s only talking about the physical sensations from the ultra low frequencies, which has nothing to do with being deaf (deaf and hearing people would hear/feel those sensations the exact same way).

This is the best and most knowledgeable video about deep bass ever! I spent a career aa s reviewer of the biggest and most profound sub woofers for theatre use and the crazy stuff in cars. They enjoy what we call the Fear Register and the baddest cars can do 160dB at 20Hz. There is a point at which the awfulness of the intensive body shaking that depsite hearing protection, people have to escape the car or literally tap out and beg for mercy. 153dB is where your eyeballs start to wobble. My deepest was 1Hz in a seacave with water lapping the roof and making a pressure wave..and once, Concorde sonic boom as a kid. Awesome video, well researched. Thanks ever so much!

Fun fact - I lived about 10 years in an apartment right next to a busy capital city boulevard where in the corner of the room where I had the bed and if you put your ear against the windows (acting as membranes of a speaker) you could hear about the same frequency day and night, caused by all the traffic and the resonating frequency of the building. Basically there was a permanent low frequency resonance of the room, within the 20-30 Hz range. I had violence cases all the way from the beginning of my stay there in the first year, with a neighbor hitting me and my car for parking in his self-proclaimed parking spot, later neighbors beating their kids, fights all over the place, and it all ended up with me and my wife almost being killed by one of the neighbors, who broke into our house and beat us up, leaving me with a double jaw fracture and a deformed jaw for life. Even before this unfortunate event, I had a constant feeling all the time that something is wrong and something very bad will happen. Daily, every hour of every day, every moment of my life there. It's been almost 2 years since we moved to a much quieter place towards the peripheries, and I have never ever had that feeling again, even if we had the usual share of problems with neighbors here as well, but there is absolutely no sign of anyone becoming violent or aggressive in any way. Just an advice, if you feel unwell, if you feel like something bad is happening, if you feel tired, aggressive, anxious, put your ear against the windows, if you hear a constant hum, GET OUT and never go back. Try the speakers in your home as well, sometimes they can give off a hum as well, low enough so you're not aware of it but loud enough to mess with your mind.

I have experienced minor versions of the affects of low bass sounds when hearing loud music with VERY loud bass beats that everyone else is enjoying. But I get a strange sense of calm when watching horror movies (at least when I try to think logically) WTF?

i swear this video has these sounds in it because i just listened to 27hz and im getting the same feeling watching this

[@mandisaplaylist]

I remember dissecting a sound clip I recorded in the metro of Prague. When I extracted the frequencies 0 to 20 Hz only and tried to play them back through headphones, I became scared and little bit woozy. I would describe the resulting sensation as "eerie silence". The track was completely silent to me but I could feel a difference between playing it and not playing it. I think the cochlea (the balancing receptor connected to the ears) was picking up these frequencies and getting confused. Because I was using headphones, I don't think the sounds went through my body so no stomach sickness.
