How is bass something that we can audibly hear and also physically feel?
In: 3
If it’s loud enough you should be able to feel a wide range of pitches. There’s nothing special about bass except that its a longer wavelength and wiggles your skin at a more easily felt frequency.
To expand on that a bit, sound is a longitudinal wave. It’s air molecules being rhythmically pushed and pulled, and that energy is transferred forward by contact of other air molecules. Your hearing a sound is your eardrum being wiggled by the motion of the air. Loud bass is just imparting that energy on other parts of you not specifically meant to receive sound.
