Infra sound of sufficient power and at the resonant frequency of the thorax
is reputed to be able to cause cavitation based hemorrhages. In other words,
the pressure extremes in your body at resonance may cause blood clots, which
may cause stroke or heart attack.
Urban legend has it that experimenting in such black arts is always fatal to
the experimenter...
