17 hertz sound

Yes, it can ! Sound can kill you in multiple ways. If we’re talking about sounds within the human hearing frequency range (between 20 and 20,000 Hz), high-intensity sounds above 150 decibels can burst your eardrums, while sounds above 185 dB can impact your inner organs and cause death.

Sound at 20-200 Hz is called low-frequency sound, while for sound below 20 Hz the term infrasound is used. The hearing becomes gradually less sensitive for decreasing frequency, but despite the general understanding that infrasound is inaudible, humans can perceive infrasound, if the level is sufficiently high .

infrasonics, vibrational or stress waves in elastic media, having a frequency below those of sound waves that can be detected by the human ear —i.e., below 20 hertz. The range of frequencies extends down to geologic vibrations that complete one cycle in 100 seconds or longer.

Generally, humans cannot consciously perceive infrasound, but they can feel it . In the British study, researchers played music laced with infrasound for test subjects, and 22 percent reported feelings of uneasiness, revulsion, or fear after listening.
