Infra sound refers to sound waves below the range of human hearing.
|
|
Infra sound comes from a number of natural phenomena including weather
|
|
changes, thunder, and ocean waves. Common man made sources include
|
|
heating and ventilation systems, industrial machinery, moving vehicle
|
|
cabins (air, trains, cars), and energy generation (wind turbines, gas
|
|
plants).

|
|
In this talk Richard Mann will present equipment he has built to measure infra sound, and
|
|
analyse some of the infra sound he has recorded.
|
|
<br />
|
|
Note: In Winter 2016 Richard Mann will be offering a new course, in Computer Sound. The
|
|
course will appear as CS489/CS689 ("Topics in Computer Science").
