+      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).
+      <br></br>
+      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></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").  This
+      is a project-based course (60% assignments, 40% project, no final).
