No, an earthquake has even more energy than a 1000 watt stereo. I could drop a nuclear bomb on a fault line and it wouldn't do much.

I'm not comparing stereos to an earthquake. I'm just saying if he wants to feel the effects from a stereo at 100 yards, it has to be a powerful system.

Earth is an incredibly noisy place. Avalanches roar down mountains, volcanoes rumble, and hurricanes blast through coastal areas. And while there's a whole range of sounds that people can hear, there are also Earth sounds that are too low for the human ear to pick up.

Interesting, yes?

Those everyday sounds we hear like car horns, airplanes, loud music, ETC. can't compare to what we don't hear. (Earth sounds/infrasound)

I don't agree. Human abillity's are really underastimated. For example, if a human is alone in a room, and outside the room there is somebody else standing (even when the person/animal outsite doesn't make any kind of noise) we can still sence it. Thats explains the ghost-story's you hear a lot of times were people sence a presence in the room/house/area.

I saw a 'ghost-story'-docu on Discovery Channel yesterday-night were are cousin of the familie who lived in a house, didn't want to go upstairs because he felt a odd presence upstairs. So the guy didn't go any further then a few steps up the stairs. Usually people make up an excuse to don't go any further ("I've got a appointment, gotta run", like the guy said in the docu), but when confronted with it they usually say they senced a 'dangerous' presence upstairs. And just for the record, the guy wasn't a medium or something, he was a lawyer.

Nope.

If you want an earthquake from a sound system thats a hundred yards away, you need several 1000 watts and speakers that can take it.

A 200 watt sound system may feel like an earthquake if you're several feet away.

If I was comparring an Earthquake via a sound system to an actual Earthquake, that would defeat the point.

I'm sure everyone, by now, has had the aggravating experience of feeling the floor vibrate under you as some jackass with his bass cranked up drives by. It's hardly an Earthquake, but there it is anyway right where you can feel it. As I said before, however, humans are conditioned to ignore our senses, but animals in the wild depend on them daily, so a wild animal could feel those vibrations even sooner.

Same would go for earthquakes in that they'd feel it a lot sooner than we would. They clear out before the foreshock, we remain ignorant until the buildings start to fall over.

Makes sense. I've witnessed this myself. I knew something was wrong... but I didn't know what it was. What fun.

If humans was able to pick up the infrasounds, we would be able to detect an earthquake before it hits as well.

I would think that they would act diffrently but only if they were in wolf form.
