- I seem to recall something from about 20 to 25 years ago about a Frenchman
- who built a gigantic whistle that was supposed to produce a frequency (plus
- overtones) at around 7Hz, and when it was switched on the operator died and
- the whistle disintegrated. It was probably in one of those silly Lyall
