technically you can't hear anything below 20Hz (as i'm sure everyone on this list knows) but at a high enough volume you can sure as hell feel them. especially in your chest. the high end "click thump" sounds actually come from the wave front of the low frequencies. it has also been found that humans can "detect" frequencies above 20kHz, which accounts for a lot of the recent interest in higher (above 48kHz) sampling rates. ***************************************************************** "What is an intellectual?
