Even low-intensity tones can be dangerous if they are pure, i.e., if their frequency is limited. The reason: pure tones form a concentration of sound energy within the ear. The most "sensitive" frequencies-those which the body can least tolerate-occur, says Dr. Knudsen, within the octaves of 300-600 cycles per sec. and 600-1,200 cycles (middle C is 261.6 cycles). Warns Dr. Knudsen: "Anyone who lives in an environment where the intensity at these frequencies consistently reaches 85 decibels [for example, alongside a busy jet airport] should have hearing tests-because damage is possible...
