If you want to hear a recording of the sound, here's what it sounds like:

If it can't be picked up by a microphone, how did they make a sound recording of it?

That's what I've been wondering. :lol: I'm guessing that what they're trying to say is that it's not loud enough to be picked up by an ordinary mic, or maybe the frequency is below the range of most equipment. :shrug: At any rate, with the right equipment, virtually anything can be recorded these days.

I think your right Tex, the issue is mainly the amplitude and that a good portion of the sound is in the infrasonic band.
