This is incredibly stupid. If you do the math, it works out to one oscillation every ten million years or so. C is 440 Hz, which is close enough to Bb. One octave down is 220 or 440 x 2-1. So 57 octaves down is 440 x 2-57, which is a ridiculously small number of oscillations per second so it helps to divide the reciprocal by 60x60x24x365.25 to get years per oscillation. Anyone who thinks something like this can be observed or measured needs serious help.

"No human will actually hear the note, because it is 57 octaves below the keys in the middle of a piano"

Nonsense. Apparently this guy has never heard the base singer for the Coasters, Nat Williams.

Closer to home...
Somewhere I found a geologic _audio_ recording of the Indonesian Christmas Eve Tsunami. Fascinating sound - with sub-bass so strong it blew out my iPod headphones.

I just heard about this from my daughter, googled it up and found it here, and thought you might be interested in it.

and all the angels shouted for joy?

“a note that is more than a million billion times deeper than what you can hear” is not a note that is “57 octaves below the keys in the middle of a piano.”

The newfound note has been sounding, the researchers say, for about 2.5 billion years.

Researchers find Helen Thomas fart, lowest known sound.
