    Brown Note Myth busted..

    Check out the Brown Note episode of the Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. The Brown Note refers to the point at which people lose control over their bowels when subjected to very low frequency sound. Apparently there's very little to the myth and showed that different people have different tolerances to low frequency sound. Some of the bystanders reported mild nausea and mild physical discomfort but the subject showed no side effects when subjected to up to 153 db sound from around 5-100 Hz. I guess we consumers of of high output consumer level subs have nothing to fear.
