So I was wondering, if infrasound’s frequency is so low we can’t hear it, how come it affects our mind and we feel sick afterwards?

Short Answer – We don’t really know. The study of infrasound is relatively new and we don’t have any conclusive peer reviewed science on it’s effects, if any, on the human body. Of course we have plenty of anecdotal stories piling up, but it’s not conclusively proven that infrasound has medical effects on the human body.
Hypothetical Answer: In nature Infrasound really only comes from climatic weather events – hurricanes, thunder storms, earthquakes, volcanic activity etc. We know that many animals are especially attuned to infrasound and that it affects their behavior so it does make sense that humans may have some, perhaps vestigial, reaction to infrasound on an evolutionary basis.
