Mostly because the ear bottoms out at around 20Hz?
Ignoring that, it's an awfully small driver to audibly reproduce sub-sonic frequencies on the scale of a room rather than headphon-
waaaait, is that little thing battery powered?
You win the internet todayFun fact: A 10Hz wave is approximately 200 bananas long.
Bananas, being a ANSI standard measurement for distance. I've created a helpful Frequency to Bananas reference chart, applicable so long as your bananas are stored at room temperature.

Can I eat the bananas before I make my measurements, or do I have to wait till my state/federally required break? Does use as a measuring utensil effect the nutritional value?Bananas, being a ANSI standard measurement for distance.

No but Mike's chart has real apeal.Hm... I'll have to break out my physics textbook and notes to get you the math (when I have a bit of that free time stuff), but there is absolutely no way that will put out frequencies that low at any meaningful amount of power.

I wonder if there are Imperial and Metric calibrated bananas??It's all good until Blue Man Group shows up and the props guy "borrows" your *calibrated* banana...
BOOO!!!!No but Mike's chart has real apeal.
Toodleoo!

@Van Did this lead to lack of bowel control and containment issues?? This sounds like experiments Mr. Danley would run and / or something the German's would've experimented with in the second world war.There was a research group, years ago, using Harmonics to induce lower brainwave frequencies in the auditory processing centers of the brain. The idea was simple enough, run a 100Hz tone in one ear, and a 101Hz signal into the other and the Nerve pulses harmonize and create a 1 Hz. Pulse in the Brain. I don't know how this would work with a single speaker as the original system required headphones to isolate the tones stereoscopically.
I think using a motorcycle helmet with transducers firing Targeted Magnetic pulses is a much better, much more proven method of inducing particular brain waves.
However, the ear is not capable of, reliably hearing any frequency below 20hz. So if you want to influence Alpha waves you need to use freqs you can reliably hear, say 100hz in one ear, and 101 in the other. The whole point of the experiment was not to induce 1 hertz waves through the air, but instead to produce them in the brain.10 Hz and 100 Hz would produce 110 Hz and 90 Hz resultant frequencies, not 1 Hz. (More generally, the new frequencies are the sum and difference of the originals.) There is not generally any need to isolate the sounds to accomplish that. There are plenty of examples in everyday life where miniscule differences in the frequency of two sounds beat at a clearly heard low frequency; one good example is flying on a twin engine propeller airplane when the engines are barely not in sync, resulting in that breeeoooaaaeeeoooaaar sort of sound.
This basic technique is sometimes used on pipe organs to obtain something resembling pedal bass stops that otherwise would need a pipe that is inconveniently long. Instead of a 16' stop, for instance, a small instrument may employ an 8' stop (2x the frequency) and--if memory serves--a 5 1/3' stop (3x the frequency) sounded together.
