Fact Sheet: Wind Turbines and Low Frequency Sound
... low frequencies are perceived as large changes in sound. Therefore even a small amount of modulation (variation) in amplitude at low frequencies can be perceived more easily. The cause of aerodynamic modulation is primarily the downward sweep of the blade tip. The study found that it may be the c ...

Ultrasonic Hearing in Humans: Applications for Tinnitus Treatment
... The brain ultrasonic demodulation theory implies that the sound produced by brain resonance will propagate to the ear via fluid channels. Such channels have been proposed by Ranke [13] and confirmed experimentally by Tonndorf [14,15]. Direct vibration of the brain, but not skull, is sufficient to re ...

Auditory system
The auditory system is the sensory system for the sense of hearing. It includes both the sensory organs (the ears) and the auditory parts of the sensory system.
