What speakers do you have that actually produce sound waves that low? Most subwoofers only go down to 20hz since thats about the lowest frequencies humans can hear. Maybe 15hz for a surround sound system so that sound effects can shake the floor when you're watching a movie or something. But 2hz is crazy.
I've tried listening to them but never really experienced much, but then again I didn't know what they were supposed to do so maybe the placebo didn't have a chance to work.
I think the trick is that they use the differential in two higher pitched waves and your brain creates the lower pitch rather than the speaker.
Like it oscillates both 400HZ and 402HZ and your brain creates that 2HZ delta or something
Ah okay, that makes more sense. Thanks for explaining.
I've played in orchestras for most of my life, so I'm sure I've been inadvertently exposed to some binaural beats when the people around me can't play in tune. I can't say it made me feel particularly good, but it certainly had an effect on me in hindsight.
