Your friend probably heard a new version of the brown note myth. The topic is addressed thoroughly in a South Park episode that also features Yoko Ono and a bunch of kids playing recorders.

I'd think, though, that if such a note exists, it'd be outside the range of a harp. But I could be wrong. I'm listening to a harp solo right now.

Doug "what was that movement?"

I doubt that a harp can accomplish such a feat, however, there is a fabled crowd control device known as a Growler that emits extremely low frequency vibrations meant to cause immediate lower gastro-intestinal distress. I believe Hunter S. Thompson describes it in one of his books, although I can't remember which one at the moment.

The Growler aside I'm sure that we have all witnessed performances that appeared to be BM's on stage!

Acid reflux....sure!

Maybe her bassist played to many low E string eigth-notes

You might want to run a Web search on "infrasound" -- apparently, certain very low frequencies can do a lot more than just make you "gold-leaf your shorts"!

Yeah...that about describes it.

I prefer "The West Wing" but my roommate insists...

It does have some very funny moments, though.

Mythbusters attempted to test the notion that any frequency of sound can cause a spontaneous "loss of continence". It was fun to watch, but they were unable to confirm the myth.

Rap music gives me the drizzelin' shxts

Is that what you mean?? I think I may have had a bit of irateable (sp?) bowel syndrome following a harp solo, too!

Just found this news item -- it seems to be describing a similar device:

I'm willing to bet the new Israeli device uses a higher-pitched frequency to get the puke effect. I have a similar problem with certain CRT monitors. It's a very weird feeling.

I bet it'd be effective.

Weren't you the guy quoting the Simpsons not too long ago?

I was the unfortunate recipient of one of these frequencies the last time I encountered a UFO. The frequency they used was just out of this world.
