Does bass shake the brain?

[BanginOnABudget]

ive had ears ringing from a 1.5" tweeter on 100 watts. and 1k could make you deaf with the right drivers and box, and if u had ur head in the port. stop being ignorant people.

and ben, i wouldnt have the slightest idea how to go about finding the resonant frequency of your skull. it could be easy tho, im sure some scientist could do it.

A weighted decibels (high hz) cause moar damage to ur hearing than C weighted (spl)...

idk if this helps but too much bass does kill a baby so idk if thats just because of it hitting to hard and affect the baby heart but yea...

thats why its always nice to ask people if they want to hear if they have any ear,breathing, heart problems

It would be easy,

play various frequencies and measure which one creates the most vibration on someone's skull.

But the skull is deadened quite a bit. Fluid, brain tissue, muscle and skin are all acting as sound deadeners.

i voted:

your paranoid and no

i think it does affect the brain

at least in the way of always wanting more bass

I say yes...... Blurs my vision. As far as brain function..... Any sound can distract you. Graph a function in a quiet room with no distractions. Graph a function at 147+ DB with blurred vision..... More than likely, I'd be willing to bet you'll find yourself in a trance. Rattling the brain.... Since the brain is surrounded by fluid, to some extent it has to be affected. Imagine a water bottle on the seat of a car... Granted there is likely a difference in viscosity of your brain fluid and less than that which is in a water bottle, but I'm willing to bet bass has an affect on cerebral fluid... But I do find myself in a trance more while I'm bumpin than not.... Best example of this that I can personally say is passing under a light and not remembering if the light was green.... I do it every now and then, but it hardly ever happens when I'm not at a moderate volume.

Back to the story of the banjo playing neighbor shooting someone over loud music, why hadn't anyone shot the banjo player while he was playing banjo out in the middle of his yard?

how do you find the resonant frequency of ur skull ? lol

probably close to the same way you find the lossfactor of damping, lol

basically, get a piezo crystal, get some leads on it so you can view the electronic output, higher numbers = more vibration

so just run a sweep and find what it peaks at

generally you need a spectrum analyser for this and they are a little pricey! Like, 10X more than a termlab for a good one!!!!

Agilent Spectrum Analyzer, 9 kHz to 3GHz

$7,871.00 new - Davis Instruments

^---------------- thats a REAL example!

yes it does but it has to be at a 7hz tone with a lot of amplitude and it will mess up your brain waves, and will kill you in seconds...but i highly doubt that anyone truck as that much amplitude and can play 7 hz that high....
