the glass issue is easy and many people can do that our days, once you hit the self resonating frequency of an object, that's it. no big issue
and with glass that is super easy to do...

only issue is that if you use your voice you need to have a lot of power... and able to 'hold' a certain frequency range for a longer time.

There's just no such law and therefore they're not forbidden. Easy, huh? :)
then please get me one... hire or buy, easy huh?
Lol, you debate like Timur when proven technically wrong, winding and winding :-)
If i doubt there's such a law, and you are sure that it exists, why don't you just show it to me?

Cheers,

and damn i really like to put you under just for 20minutes of 160db -170db of lower frequency sound...

just to 'feel' it once.

I would definitely try that! My personal bungee jumping!

And the thing with the glass is something we should try once!
I'm curious if it's easily possible to do a slow sweep with operator to find the resonance frequency...
The level should be achievable with a descent speaker, don't you think?

have i ever said it's a written law i can show you?

no i said there are forbidden... so, if available today, get me one, very easy!

i for example would not know where to find the written law that says you are not allowed to built an atom bomb yourself and distribute and use it as you like, still all those 3 things are forbidden. or simply get me one, i take two.

one for dropping onto the states and one spare, please.

so where is my original US army motor bass?, i want to open a club again :wink:

yes! with a decent speaker, like a Meyer UPA or T series D&B really close... and a sweep...

Could have sworn there is a mythbusters episode where they try to crack this myth and I remember them cracking the glass with a speaker but I'm not sure if it was their voice or what.. They also tried to blow a candle out with the sound waves.

first time I've opened this thread...

Depeche Mode and Macs huh?

wh'happened?

IIRC Mythbusters shattered a glass with vocals but couldn't blow out the candle. the brown note is a myth and you get better mileage if you leave the tailgate of your pickup truck up, not down.

The brown note?
Isn't that something Eddie Van Halen jams?....
