I am having trouble even figuring out where to begin in analyzing 
infra-sound. Such as the UFO post, thunder post, or even a simple 
bird such as my 200kb Grouse recording at 
http://home.comcast.net/~richpeet/0298.wav

The spectral displays I have made with Cooledit seem to fall apart in 
determination of very low frequency.  

I also don't understand how waves work at low freqs. ie question 1.

1. If a wave length of 1/2 cycle audio is 2,260 feet long, can a wave 
at the frequency be detected in a short burst such as this grouse?

2. How does one determine how low this bird goes?

3. How does one determine how low my recorder goes?
