Some animals use infra sound to communicate over long distances including elephants, giraffes and hippos. It is possible that the Tyrannosaurs used it too like an elephant. A low rumble.
INFRAsound is a new term to me. I’ve had heard of ULTRAsound, thought that INFRAsound was a made up term. But from others comments, guess it’s a real thing. Vortex is apparently very up to date, though his filing system doesn’t seem to be.
Infra red is a color wavelength longer than red, the longest our eyes can see. Infra sound must be a sound with longer wavelength (lower frequency) than our ears can hear. It is certainly possible to build a detector for that. It would probably be something like a seismometer, and you’d see a picture of the wave moving on a sheet of paper or on an oscilloscope. Don’t know why our embassies don’t have them (yet).
Well well well.. looks like our boy Polar has just added to his resume! Let’s see… he is a drug pusher, a kidnapper (sort of), a fraudster, and NOW he is also an inventor of “Infrasound/InfraSonic Blasts emitted from an old school bell.”
Im telling ya… the ONLY thing this guy CAN’T do is, inevitably, outrun Tracy.
I wonder if the Patent Office (NO, not pat patton!) has his nifty device registered!
Infrasound, sometimes referred to as low-frequency sound, is sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz or cycles per second, the “normal” limit of human hearing.
Generally, humans cannot consciously perceive infrasound, but they can feel it. … Elephants use infrasound to communicate over long distances; since low-frequency sounds travel farther than high-frequency ones, infrasound is ideal for communicating from far away.
But infrasound can also be manmade, and it can have some seriously weird effects on the human body. … It’s also not uncommon for people to experience nausea when exposed to infrasound, which is funny when you realize the word “noise” is derived from the Latin word “nausea.”
A very frequently asked question is “Can infrasonic waves kill you?” The answer to this question is yes but don’t worry because not all frequencies of infrasound can really hurt you. This lethal frequency lies in 7 Hz. … This match of frequencies can cause serious damage to your body or even death.
All of these answers were found by doing a Google Search on INFRAsound.
Looks like poor Ballpark,“the first test subject,” will have his head explode at the peak impact of the Infrasound Device. What a mess for Piotr to clean up!

I’ve heard of that form of torture. It drives one insane from the vibrations. It will also cause hemorrhaging! Gruseome stuff!

Good morning™, high powered subwoofers !
The less “Striker” knows the better ! He has P.V.’s confidence but not beyond what is required to do as part of his “job”.

Humans can’t really hear infrasound but I wonder if dogs can.

If memory serves, there were a few infrasound attacks on US embassies by unknown actors in recent times. ✨

It’s been 11 days since we’ve seen Tracy. Should we put out a missing person alert???
On the bright side at least no one is on the phone today!!!

Too bad Diet Smith hasn’t invented an infrasound detector. The crooks are getting more technically sophisticated than Tracy and the gang.
