Extension is crazy good at 10Hz and you can hear that.

Are you sure?

Yeah, sorry about that.
I keep posting on this thread for some reason.

For some reason I reckon my LF hearing is amazing. Test sigs say so. HF hearing is not so good

I can also hear aliens that nobody else can.

Do you actually have music with 10Hz tones in though?

What's yer point? There is 10Hz present in recordings, obviously. Not much in many of any really significant amplitude, granted.

You have me curious.

There are no 10Hz notes in 'normal' music that I'm aware of. I suppose there could be bass sub-harmonics, but what speaker could reproduce them and would they be present in recordings anyway. Obviously a synthesiser could create a tone that low, but would anybody hear it? The usual lower limit of hearing is reckoned to be 20Hz, with some apparently able to hear down to 15Hz.

I have experienced bass that could be felt, but not heard as such. Some very big Cerwin Vega speakers demonstrated this for me many years ago.

8 Hz on some pipe organ music.
