Type of article: Article
Summary
Reports on a case where low frequency noise centred around 7 hertz was found to occur in several office rooms. States symptoms resulting from exposure to infrasound are typical of sick building syndrome. Many of the occupants exhibited such symptoms. Shows that the low frequency component of ventilation noise is often being amplified in tightly sealed rooms. Maintains that repeated or long-term exposure to such amplified infrasound may be triggering an allergic-type response in individuals.
