How Low Can You Get?
If you are looking for a massive bass look no further than the sound coming from a black hole! NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has found, for the first time, sound waves emanating from a super-massive black hole. The “note”, a B flat is the lowest/deepest ever detected in the universe. It is 57 octaves lower than middle C. I made a little graphic of how it looks like in a piano. The note on the right is the middle C, the one on the left B flat. Ohh by the way, humans can’t hear it!

Whoa, that’s low! In a related recent news story: “British scientists have shown in a controlled experiment that the extreme bass sound known as infrasound produces a range of bizarre effects in people including anxiety, extreme sorrow and chills — supporting popular suggestions of a link between infrasound and strange sensations.” link
Maybe that’s why people enjoy dancing so much!!
