Infrasound waves' vibration frequency is lower than 20 Hz, far below the threshold of human hearing, which is comprised between 20 and 20,000 Hz. Not being perceptible by the human hear, their presence at work is not immediately perceived, therefore underestimating the related risks and potential adverse effects.

Abstract

Infrasound waves' vibration frequency is lower than 20 Hz, far below the threshold of human hearing, which is comprised between 20 and 20,000 Hz. Not being perceptible by the human hear, their presence at work is not immediately perceived, therefore underestimating the related risks and potential adverse effects.
