These frequency sets interact to produce more complexly unique cycle frequencies, which are unheard by human ear but which resonate just as do humanly hearable musical chords or dissonances." -------------------- End Original Message -------------------- Interesting... It would be curious to hear the chords produced by the absorption patterns of various chemical elements and compounds, after transposing them down some enormous number of octaves. Were I to guess though, it would be little more than a curiosity. I personally doubt if they would have any particularly significant meaning to our ears. The two physical/physiological mechanisms are far too unrelated for there to be much correlation.
