Field and laboratory studies on the psychological and physiological
effects of very low frequency noise on humans are being carried out
in order to define limits for health hazard.The specific aims of
this laboratory work were to determine: (1) differences, if any,
in the performance of 21 normal hearing students in a series of psychological
and physiological parameters, measured under three different experimental
conditions (exposure to a 10 Hz @ 110 dB tone, exposure to a boiler
noise filtered in 1/3 octave band centered on 10 Hz @ 105±2 dB, and
without sound exposure) and (2) whether anxiety and hearing threshold
variables influenced those responses. Results showed certain differences
in the body resonances and subjective judgements, between the exposure
to the stimuli conditions and control condition . There were neither
changes nor differences in the subjects performances of the physiological
variables. Anxiety seems to have influenced some of the subjective
judgements.
