What is Low Frequency Intrusion?

Low Frequency Intrusion (LFI) is the involuntary exposure to loud low frequencies in people's personal environments, like their home or work place, inducing physical and mental distress. Evidence suggests that second-hand bass frequencies, most commonly generated by high-powered car or home audio systems, have a negative impact on the human body, mind and spirit. View the current LFI survey results.

Consequently, LFI presents a more significant health concern than anyone realizes at this time.

Low Frequency Intrusion also provokes frustration, negative thoughts, feelings of revenge and contempt toward the LFI offender(s) in otherwise peaceful, reasonable and considerate people. This response is quite normal, considering the disrespectful and repeated violations of their private space. LFIs simply induce a lower emotional, intellectual and spiritual mindset.

Research has long substantiated the harmful effects low frequency noise can have on people. Symptoms include aggravation, decreased concentration, premature exhaustion, elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate, insomnia, migraines, anxiety, frustration, sleep disruption, anger, contempt and many others.

What is Noise Pollution?    source: www.epa.gov

The traditional definition of noise is "unwanted or disturbing sound". Sound becomes unwanted when it either interferes with normal activities such as sleeping, conversation, or disrupts or diminishes one's quality of life. The fact that you can't see, taste or smell it may help explain why it has not received as much attention as other types of pollution, such as air pollution, or water pollution. The air around us is constantly filled with sounds, yet most of us would probably not say we are surrounded by noise. Though for some, the persistent and escalating sources of sound can often be considered an annoyance. This "annoyance" can have major consequences, primarily to one's overall health.

Health Effects    source: www.epa.gov

Noise pollution adversely affects the lives of millions of people. Studies have shown that there are direct links between noise and health. Problems related to noise include stress related illnesses, high blood pressure, speech interference, hearing loss, sleep disruption, and lost productivity. Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is the most common and often discussed health effect, but research has shown that exposure to constant or high levels of noise can cause countless adverse health affects.

Low Frequency Intrusion as a weapon?

Most LFIs also contain infrasound (below 20Hz) which you can only feel and surely have experienced at one time or another. Low Frequency Intrusion has also been used effectively by the U.S. military to combat enemies and, at high enough volume, can do bodily harm to or even kill a human.

High intensity infrasound can induce disorientation and reduced sensory motor functions. At higher levels of intensity, experiments have shown that animals may cease breathing temporarily. While the LFIs we normally experience are generally at lower levels, we are still negatively affected by the frequencies on different scales.

Why take the LFI survey?

The Low Frequency Intrusion survey gathers the voices of the American people to gain a realistic perspective on how LFIs affect our lives. The survey results will allow us to better understand the gravity of this negative social phenomenon on a local, regional and national level. View the current LFI survey results.

If enough people contribute to the Low Frequency Intrusion survey, the importance of LFI will be substantiated and ideally contribute to solutions through better awareness and response, drastically reducing or even eliminating LFIs in the future.

Your input is very instrumental in allowing us all to enjoy a more peaceful and quiet world.

The horrid future of Low Frequency Intrusion

How many people already consume sleep aids or alcohol just to be able to sleep because of Low Frequency Intrusion originating from booming cars or inconsiderate neighbors?

How many people have called local law enforcment just to find out that it makes barely any difference and the Low Frequency Intrusions continue?

Unless we speak up and let our voices be heard, LFI instances will exponentially increase as the audio systems generating these negative, invasive second-hand bass frequencies will only become louder and less costly. Even remote rural areas have already been infested by LFIs and there is no refuge anymore.

Imagine, Low Frequency Intrusion times 10 or times 100 - No peace, No quiet, Ever! Your home or work place will constantly be invaded by low frequencies while your and your family's mental and physical health are adversely affected.

The equipment manufacturers, distributors and retailers of such invasive audio systems don't give a damn about how Low Frequency Intrusion affects the population.

In fact, they keep pushing the envelope to increase LFI with louder and cheaper audio systems while actually encouraging and glamourizing stupid, intrusive and inconsiderate behavior. They don't care, they are making a crap load of money and have a an endless pool of morons eager to spend their cash on even louder, more invasive car and home audio systems.

Unless we combat Low Frequency Intrusion by contributing to the LFI survey, get ready to endure an aggravating and invasive future of ever increasing LFIs all around us!
