Question: Some pipe organs create sounds lower than humans can hear. This infrasound can still create physical sensations. What is the fundamental frequency of the sound

Some pipe organs create sounds lower than humans can hear. This "infrasound" can still create physical sensations.

Assume a sound speed of \(343 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).
