There are big fans made to pressurise buildings to test them for airtightness. Imagine if the fan is set up to blow across the ground floor exit doorway of a multi-storey fire stair. It will start to resonate like a flute, but really, really low. Using the smoke control panel, open and close windows
up and down the staircase to produce different notes. Make sure there is not a fire in progress, since entering the stair would probably cause deafness.

Actually, no. Subsonics are more likely to make people feel very strange, or nauseous. But by definition, infrasound is below the range of human hearing. |
