ABSTRACT
Infrasound describes ubiquitous, low-frequency sound (<â¯20â¯Hz) in the environment with a long wavelength below the median hearing threshold, which can nevertheless be heard and tactilely perceived, depending on the sound pressure level and frequency spectrum. In nature, infrasound emissions usually occur only in the low-threshold range. Nevertheless, after strong and chronic exposure to usually artificially generated infrasound emissions, various effects on the ear and the body, sometimes questionably critical to health, can be observed. Correct measurement and assessment of infrasound sources is complex and controversial. Established guidelines are scarce. Innovative research areas include infrasound monitoring for evaluation of natural events and infrasound applications in medicine. In the future, it is hoped that new insights will be gained from infrasound research and that a more extensive classification in occupational medicine will be possible.
