Hi Paul,
Yourself and Stan are not alone in this interest. My love of the o=
utdoors, camping, birding, and nature recording.... has also lead me to pur=
sue the source of what might have caused the unexplainable sounds that I've=
recorded, as well as my other strange experiences in the field. If interes=
ted to read, I've blogged one of those incidents that could possibly be inf=
rasound related...here:
http://imonacan.blogspot.com/2010/04/was-it-infrasound-terror-my.html
I guess the only way to ever attempt to find out, would be to inquire about=
the proper equipment to record these ultra low frequencies. Once the right=
combination of mic/recorder/preamp is obtained... then hoping one might ha=
ve the same or similar experience, while recording it.
What to do with those recordings, or what to compare it to...would be anoth=
er path less traveled. I've recorded some low frequency sounds (<15Hz), wh=
ere I can see a peak on the Wav. file, but can't hear anything.
I realize there are many various natural sources of infrasound, that would =
create the problem of how to sort it all out, and understand.... what, is w=
hat. That's more than I can take on right now, but would always enjoy heari=
ng about the results of others.
I still have the benefit of recording some interesting nature soundscapes, =
and reading the information on this list from the good folks here, which ha=
s always been helpful to me.
