10,000W Hearing Test | Lowest Audible SOUND MYTH : Human Ear VS Extreme Low Frequencies 12hz | 20hz

[wow1022]

it's not a pure 12hz sine wave output... there are other frequencies mixed in with the turbulence of the woofer excursion

not hating just pointing that out

[EXOabigdeal]

@wow1022 - Subjectively, yes, it may not be perceived that way after the settling backwaves, and differing RF points, but the rudiment never changes - If you play a 12hz tone, your subs are moving 12 cycles per second, plain and simple - Saying that it's impossible to hear, it a far from accurate when amplifying by 10,000 watts - So WikiPedia = Eh..

[MrsPoodle78]

That boy has some pretty eyes....too pretty.

[EXOabigdeal]

@MrsPoodle78 - Why THANK YOU :)

[blown262]

I just had to make a meme of 0:59 lmao

[EXOabigdeal]

@blown262 - Good ole' BASS! :P

[arista007]

It's kilo hertz for goodness sake.

[EXOabigdeal]

@arista007 - Read the article. Anything below 20hz, and above 20khz...

[arista007]

@EXOabigdeal The test ONLY went to 20 hz. The article says 20 kilohertz, 20,000 hz. Bangs head on wall . . .

[EXOabigdeal]

@arista007 - LOL - Exactly - You just agreed with me, you do know that right?:) - I'm testing noises BELOW 20hz... Now YOU can go bang your head on the wall... hehe

[CrowderWins]

So first of all. Cameras can't capture overtones, so thats out the window.

[EXOabigdeal]

@CrowderWins - Well, it's just a video for fun.

[CrowderWins]

@EXOabigdeal Oh I'm with you 100% man. I'm against everyone who is saying that these sounds that we are hearing are overtones. But that's impossible. No recording can capture an overtone.

[Spective]

@EXOabigdeal the strongest tone you sense is the fundamental but the ones you hear are the overtones. open a spectrum analyzer on your vid like i did before posted and see for yourself.

ps. its hard to produce a perfect 12hz sine wave(no overtones)...

[EXOabigdeal]

@Spective - Again, You'd have to hear it in real life.

[Spective]

you cant hear 12 hrz, what you hear are the overtones ..

[EXOabigdeal]

@Spective - If you heard this system you'd say otherwise.

[MrRoyal615]

Dude I LOVE this fucking video, I LMFAO BIGTIME cool shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EXOabigdeal]

@MrRoyal615 - Lol, I wish I didn't mess up in the beginning :D

[TheBandScanner]

I heard that you can use low frequency to cause structure damage to a building. Slum-lords beware! Revenge is at hand.

[EXOabigdeal]

@TheBandScanner - Telsa had a device solely for that lol

[jacksparowv]

is it weird that i find this extremely funny?

[EXOabigdeal]

@jacksparowv - That's cool, I laugh at myself too.

[ihasabellybutton]

I read the description, and what he said is not what he wrote. :/

[ihasabellybutton]

I wonder if he realizes that 90% of what we hear is above 18Hz.

[EXOabigdeal]

@ihasabellybutton - It was a tongue flub - I meant to say BELOW...

[RossDaBoss707]

Its probably just the structure shaking and making the noise

[EXOabigdeal]

@RossDaBoss707 - Wish you could hear it in person.

[lolzngames]

I am an adult now......

[EXOabigdeal]

@lolzngames - Good for you?

[xianos707]

0:44 exo looking like a shady stalker lol!

[EXOabigdeal]

@xianos707 - Huh?

[xianos707]

@EXOabigdeal no offence! But I lol'd a little the way you were looking back like you were about to murder someone

[xxdrew333xxx]

you did the test backwards.  If you can hear 12Hz you're definitely going to hear 16 and 18.

[JakeTYLERsounds]

id definitely take drugs before doing that

[musher52]

I'm 12, I could hear it all

[13Segruts]

This guy's hilarious!!

[athews1976]

The subsonic frequencies are the slowest vibrations that take so much more power to produce to be heard than the normal frequency rang(20Hz - 22Khz) of human hearing. We aren't actually less sensitive to subsonics; it's the physical sensations that compliment what we actually can hear of subsonics. The masking effect when high amplitude subsonics modulate the amplitude of other sounds like the way those subwoofers do through the mic in this video is also what compliments how we sense subsonics.

[fuzzynostic]

most of the audible sound is coming from external fibration imperfections and the flaps of the girl with a beard's virgina

[EXOabigdeal]

@fuzzynostic - LMAO!

[Wazupcracka]

The sound range for humans is actually 6-22000HZ possible

[xXxLovEMasTerxXx911]

You have got the eyes of a woman!

[EXOabigdeal]

@xXxLovEMasTerxXx911 - Oh well lol

[redyoshi1985]

@xXxLovEMasTerxXx911 Yeah.. I'm not trying to be mean or anything.. Please don't take it that way, but I noticed something is up with his eyes too, but I couldn't place what it was.. They doesn't look real, I guess.. I don't really know.. Something about him.. almost like a Cartoon or something.. Really don't take that badly, I mean no offense.. Honest..

[BASSInthudiest]

Fucking right :D

[EXOabigdeal]

@BASSInthudiest - Thanks for commenting!

[DontTrustMe27]

Nice system

[CommodoreSubwoofers]

Wikipedia is dochie :\

[fizbatch]

Guess what buddy, You're not hearing it. You're feeling it.

[EXOabigdeal]

@fizbatch - Hey buddy... Come over here and say that after I push play

[whitlingyz]

if the frequency is played at a high enough level and moves sufficient air i dont really see why you wouldnt be able to hear it. i believe if you have a long wavelength like 12hz it would be easier to hear as you moved away from the source. you outta try the test again but from outside the van and only one window down to see if it makes any difference maybe? if you look at the specs of your camera it probably says it cant pick up below 20hz so it may very well just be the air moving.nice vid tho

[DyceTown2010]

almost anyone can go on wik and post something

[NickDaBassGuy]

Exo... NO ONE!!! can hear below 10hz. The woofer movement is just too slow...

[vwjmkv]

me thinks you have it wrong, me thinks you mean kHz not Hz.

[EXOabigdeal]

@vwjmkv - read the article - 20hz to 20khz

[Mitchjl22]

i beleive that its 20khz not 20hz

[snoowie]

@Mitchjl22 it´s said one hear from 20 hz to 20 khz, but no one really hears anything from 17-18 khz and up. Frequency span shrinks with age and abuse, mostly from the high end of the spectrum.

[sp3ar2envi]

check out my 12hz tone subwoofer :D

[CorvetteKillingDSM]

Sorry, you can't actually hear 12Hz signal

[thetommantom]

if you cant hear anything above 18hz your deaf! everything, almost everything is above that when you talk

[EXOabigdeal]

@thetommantom - I meant to say below :X

[420wesley420]

lmao bass bass bass bass

[EXOabigdeal]

@420wesley420 - What can I say, I'm addicted!

[420wesley420]

@EXOabigdeal me to lol just wish i had the money to have what you have i got a 2400watt amp and type R 12" and 10" its nothing to what you got lol

[07RedRider400]

yea adult's ears cant hesr below 20hz. its just sir movement thst you think uou hear and the vehicle flexing and rattling

[EXOabigdeal]

@07RedRider400 - If only you could hear this for yourself...

[0ninja6660]

@EXOabigdeal i have herd sceince say the same thing, I dont think sceintists listen to low frequencies at 140db cuz that shit deffinatly rattles your ear drums!!!!!

[tatsumaru12345]

I love the expression when EXO turns on the bass tests. Just look at his face....hes looking like holyyyy shit!

[EXOabigdeal]

@tatsumaru12345 - It's always a fun time with the good ole bass van :P

[cotyballs]

From what I understand its actually the air moving off tour subs when you play that low that your hearing not actually the sound of the tone

[henrylovesweed]

the subsonic maniac.hell yea.:)

[31085265]

Dude! i love your hat :)

[adamcamz12345]

i can hear 15hz and im 13

[cyrsynik]

12 hertz certified :)

[yzf7steve]

The tested range of human hearing ranges from 18hz to a few hz above 20,000.

[trevorispimpn]

I'm 13 and I heard it all

[bwl61]

most people think they hear it but all they hear is air moving and their car shaking

[CinemaStyleRawn]

you look like charlie chaplin.

[wakeupneo311]

lololol 1:51 pause haha

[EastAngliaUK]

Its really loud and clear here sounds good.

[bassmaster4110]

i subs did good i heard them at 11

[realgangsta14]

-sniff sniff- smell dat. i smell heated quad coils. ehh lemmie ignore the smell.

[lolpimpicp]

Damn EXO you need to make some more random videos around your neighborhood! What is your real name,lmao!

[everydaybass270]

12 hz certification with the seal stamp of approval. you think 2 15s will do that? CW154DVC

[omnimon64]

Anything below 20hz you cant hear the tone. What your hearing is the woofer cap flapping..... i think. LOL

[dcbt96]

you cant hear below 20hz you have alot of other freq. taking place here. this is a good example of how much unwanted resonance there is inside a vehicle that can cancel other freq.'s. everything the sound wave comes into contact with becomes a speaker. of course your ear hears these unwanted sound waves being reproduced by panel flex etc...if they didnt well your deaf to the freq's being produced by panel vibrations or your car doesnt make a sound when struck with another object.

[fomfan567]

I did 16hz hairtricks with my wall telling me can't hear that lol

[sikvibration]

hey bro thats port noise and the air pressure/movement itself not the audible 12hz note... But in sayin you may not hear a real 12hz note but you can feel the pressure against your ear drum which is mentally sensitive and was that a pony tail if so sweet

[TheBassheadz]

12hz certified cool :D

[blankpaper66]

As much as I love the video, you can't hear below 20Hz. Try using a pair of Quality earphones/headphones which go below 20, and you'll realise that all you will be able to hear is the drivers moving. You're copping the air pressure there xD

But you can feel it though... thats for sure.

I also just realised something, why can we click on the "Characters remaining" number under the comment box and EDIT IT? :P

[gytissss]

Dude, what you hear is the air flow. You feel it in your ear because of the pressure.

[mitch9294]

I don't think you're feeling teh 12Hz, you're hearing the resonances from when the 12Hz hits the panels and stuff in your car and gets re-emitted as higher frequencies. You can definitely FEEL 12Hz though, no denying that

[zacharybg17]

wikipedia dont know jack

[mrchrisk36]

What's the fs on those subs?? Don't know if your gettin an accurate representation of those freq could be wrong

[SharkRangler]

@mrchrisk36 Fs just tells you at what point the resistance is the highest in a free air application.

[christopay]

exo is a special guess on the next mythbusters lol

[HobgobIin]

_\.-€€?,

Shit

j

Hehehe

Analfuck

666

[ansonx10]

Subsonic frequencies are actually notes. SOME people just don't recognize the changes in air pressure as "notes." But what do you think the frequencies above 20 hertz are? CHANGES IN AIR PRESSURE. 1000 hertz? same thing.

Some people are tone deaf.

[mecca421]

1Hz =1 cycle per second. I thought humans can't hear below 20hz or above 20khz, that's an average...you are next to the subwoofer feeling the air pressure, can you hear it outside the van when its at 16hz?

[BradK24]

He heard it and felt it though.

[SwishaMane420]

Feeling the air pressure, and actually hearing the tone are different EXO... LOL

[HanoiRocks33]

are u wearing eye liner?

[sammyboom]

Wouldn't a term lab be needed to tell if the frequency your woofers are actually making is below 20hz. Cuz if the frequency response of the subs is higher than 20, then technically it can't reproduce it correctly, so then what are you hearing would be a good question to find out.

[StephenAudios]

BASS BASS BASS BASS!

[masongalbraith]

no joke i had 1 18 that could play 1 Hz it sounded like thump...thump..thump...thump

[Ethan420Cox]

Hell yea thats fuggin loud! And on wikipedia anybody can go on there and edit the definitions hahaha

[imjustakid22]

EXO I love you man but I just wanna put something out there. Not positive but what you might be hearing is, what some might refer to as "motor noise" or "port whistle" and not the note itself. If you look at the frequency response on your subs I doubt that it says your subs can hit 12hz. I know when I play "put on" on my sub it hits a couple notes where the sub flexes and I can hear is flex but I dont hear the note itself.

[chevaishr]

@imjustakid22 the low note on that song is 27 hz feels like an earthquake i tell ya ;)

[toucandan8989]

@imjustakid22 well then your sub can't make it audible :) my box is tuned to make the lowest note audible :)

[imjustakid22]

@toucandan8989 its not a question of box tuning its a matter of can your sub itself produce the note? And who can hear the note. I know the only "sub" that can accurately produce extremely low notes (down to 0hz) is a rotary sub. The most accurate way to test this theory would be on one of those. I know when mythbusters tested the "brown note" theory they had to use a specific concert grade subwoofer with the ports plugged to be able to produce the note.

[toucandan8989]

@imjustakid22 dude my truck barely even ratlles and i can hear 20hz vibrating the shit out of my ears and feel it to with just one 12 its not that hard but ya if your trying to hear it off headphones good luck with that

[imjustakid22]

@toucandan8989 Im not saying you cant FEEL 20hz.

[pwND001]

18hz would be so loud in your van exo.

[Nicogarcia95]

Like the new look u look kinda Mexican with the pony tail and the mustash gotee Thingy Bassheads unite!!!

[powerpunchhx2]

hay u shaved

[J00bles]

the site claims that humans can hear between 20hz and 20,000hz.

take into consideration that fact that you are amplifying a sound wave to extreme measures to pull it off (and most of what you "hear" is actually your mind tricking you into believing that you ears are picking the sound up, but in reality its your sense of touch that is causing the noise to be "heard")

[fennygolf]

theres difference between hearing it and feeling it hit your eardrum

[alucard761]

Hahaha love it "12 hz certified" FTW

[frostedlambs]

i dont mean to be hating but now you look like a coke dealer im sorry its just what comes to my mind again im sorry

[MrCarStereo]

@frostedlambs stfu asshole . show us what u look like

[frostedlambs]

@MrCarStereo lol i said im sorry if you want to see wt i look like my fb name is tim mimby limb and ma hair is black so there thats wt i look like i wasnt trying to be an asshole

[EXOabigdeal]

@spookycharlton - Nope, Just a pony tail :)

[ithree6mafia]

my subs would bust if i tried doing a low ass note like that.

[ph1ldav1sFROSTED]

Dwaaamn i tried to like twice.

[MrCeko90]

i love your bass car

[KingofPsychlone]

When I play 20hz, I usually hear my brain bubbling.lol Gary Killian

[EXOabigdeal]

@KingofPsychlone - With a BEAST like yours - I bet that would still happen even when standing 20ft away from the damn thing!

[wfhs52]

You cannot hear it. You can only hear the air moving.......not the actual sound.

[nathan91198]

Wikipedia lies. 

[DubBeatz100]

you should do more myth videos :) :)



[moddingpc]

todays ending was the best of all ^^

[EXOabigdeal]

@moddingpc - Tomorrow's WILL be Better! ;)

[spencer445993]

@EXOabigdeal hey i just thought of a good idea if you got any extra money you can get some like 8" subs and put 2 of them above each of your 18"s and below your 18"s (even though not many people got that much extra money, but still might add some extra DB's

[wasiukas]

how about 16hz 160db? :D

[afr126]

put on some super clean bass headphones and play these tones and see if u can hear them. most of the time u hear the woofer and not the actual tone. wiki FTW!

[TheBigmike5]

nice vid

[longtrenton]

i'm 12 and a long time subscriber and i herd all of them

[transit1999]

nice side burns

[BFLY3]

"as long as you got the maniac bass your all set" LMFAO

[SuperchargedMustang5]

Ive never played below 18hz but I can definitely hear it

[4HitsWilystyle]

oh and like the facial clean up and the pony tail! looks good on ya bro!

[4HitsWilystyle]

u know we can hear 20 lol its in a lot of songs. I would have guessed we can hear to 10-12, should have tested below that!

nice test man! lol need more of these "test" wish we had these kinda tests back in high school! I would have had straight A+++s

[bob505470]

Below 20 hz what you will usually be hearing are harmonic resonant frequencies. On my system, when I play a 12 hz to I get a 26 hz harmonic resonant frequency which is what I could here. On a term lab, you should be able to see the two separate frequencies. Pretty interesting how it works that way.

[Nirvalica]

I think you're hearing the harmonics. You're not hearing the actual tone.

[nfazio62293]

@Nirvalica you are correct

[bassbeatshard]

I ask for port tricks and that's all I get lol j/k

[localboy536]

@bassmekanik mine is 25hz!!! Always tune that shit low low

[localboy536]

Wow EXO!!!! Try a vid showing your Windows I bet they're flexin like heck!!!!

[HDVidsRO]

EXO you are from Egipt??? ( the Eyes) :D

[DeepBassAddictions]

Idk if you trolls have ever been around/in exo's van... but I have at finals. Its not "all the shit in your vans makeing that noise vibrating" um no! Exo's van is like a mobile bomb shelter! That thing is tighter then your mother's... well I wouldn't go there cuz that's not true... she loose... but instead of bangin on him why not do your own test, tape it, put it on YouTube (like a boss) and let tons people poke tons of holes at/in it...

[BeAILsTaR13]

most of it is mechanical noise

[ieatcheesewithglass]

Its true though, what your hearing isnt the 20hz tone, its the sound of the subs flapping as they are playing too far below tuning, they create al alternate low note which is audible to the human ear.

If you tune a box to 12hz where it wont flap you wont hear the note.

[rfofmiscellania]

@ieatcheesewithglass Thats what i was going to say, all you hear is vibrations.

[omnimon64]

@ieatcheesewithglass You should add that to the wikipedia page

[bassmekanik101]

My Favorite hz is 27!!! Whats yours!!!

[coldie5445]

haha 12hz certified.. love it!

[BasherCoon]

I would argue you're hearing more of the turbulence and noises of the woofer motors and rumbling interior panels more than the actual pure 12-16-18hz sine waves.

[fridgdog]

Im pretty sure wiki's right, we cant here an 18hz tone but we can here the vibrations of everything in the van shaking.

Try turning the volume down while still playing a tone below 20, you should be able to see the sub moving but not hear any sound. Thats because its still producing that tone below 20 hz but you cant hear it cause its not shaking the shit out of the van.

[IronServant351]

Exo when are you reconing your subs?

[munkymania]

might be playing them slightly below tuning!!!...lmao..good stuff!!!

[The21232]

LOOL 12 hz certified haha

[braydensdeals]

love it exo

[MASON858]

yes Sir!!! we you don't count your a bass HeaD!!

[kansasjamiemcmurray]

Yea Exo you know how its done bro 20 hertz that is some wicked awesome bass

[supremeaudio13]

Pause at 2:29 for a priceless face..

[keepitloud]

yeah other people prolly can hear and feel you at 12 hertz,.. hahaha

[30GB]

omg you look so much better than a fag, shave all your beard

[iHockey28]

@americaneagle791 yeah you can definitely reproduce 12hz.....

[henrylovesweed]

those beasts where brawlin.

[Torbox1]

your not hearing the actual frequency your hearing the noise created by the car and everything inside it

[lpngcf420]

EXO with your system u would force them to hear it lol
