There isn’t a frequency that will make you lose control of your bowls, but noise does play a role in our health.
The brown note, sometimes called the brown frequency, is an infrasonic noise frequency that has a particular effect. Hence the name: If you play a note at this very low frequency, it’s known to make you lose your bowels. That’s right, a sound frequency that causes you to run to the potty. Only, it’s not true.
The brown note myth likely started as an internet hoax that somehow gathered steam and took off because it’s kind of funny, and no one knew for sure whether it was true., a professor of acoustics at the University of Southampton in Southampton, United Kingdom, “the sound is supposedly lower than the sounds that we can hear.”. We might be able to sense sounds that are at an extremely low frequency at a high enough volume or amplitude, but we can’t hear them.
For example, if you’re using a power tool and it’s vibrating for long enough, it can damage your fingers, causing a condition called “vibration white finger,” changes in the fingers that turn the skin white and are known to cause nerve damage and numbness. According to an article published in theSea sickness is another human response to vibration; though we can’t hear it, we can feel it.
