Sound transmits through your bones and tissue below a certain frequency and is easier felt than heard. This is uncomfortable to a lot of people, almost certainly the cause of such nausea.

In the same way that sound can make you ill it can also have the opposite effect as well. Sound can give you a relaxing and calming effect. It can be an aphrodisiac. It can also stimulate brain cells and can be a great tool for studying. It all depends on what sounds or music you are listening to!

I have heard stories of people becoming ill by certain sounds playing, especially the vibrations. I find that certain sounds hurt my ears, no matter how loud they are.

Oh yes, sound can certainly make you sick. Sometimes it's the music that you are listening to that makes other people sick. Just like smells, different sounds evoke different reactions from different people. What's meat for one person is poison to another. Loud music may not be everyone's passion but for certain people, they would become disoriented if they were put in a silent room for an extended period of time.

I have found my ears when put in a completely dead and silent room start to get "tense" and ring a little bit around 4000Hz, but equally in both ears, so I'm sure it isn't a damage thing. The noise is only at about what sound like 10-15db. I'm literally hearing the noise floor of my own hearing! I know what you are thinking. That a sound has to be about 25db before an adult can hear it and 15db for an adult. I've had my hearing tested and it registers at ZERO db for all but the centre frequencies. The breakdown was like this

Left:
500Hz - 10db
1000Hz - 15db
2000Hz - 10db
4000Hz - 5db

Right:
500hz - 0db
1000hz - 5db
2000hz - 0db
4000hz - 0db

I can hear the extremely subtle air pressure changes, I guess. I don't how the hell I can hear at slightly above 0db signal.

I'm not sure if it's the actual type of music that makes you upset or the sound. I mean, I think it makes sense to feel sick if something is too loud but a certain type.. I'm not so sure.

I have to say that I find this very interesting. I suffer from migraines too and am often telling my teen (typical right) to cut the music down it is to loud. It drives me nuts sometimes.

Thermionic, Thank you for all that information. You are indeed very learned on this subject. Radio waves and electricity always intrigued me, and I've always known that music can affect a persons moods. Knowing why though, just makes it all more.....cool.
