Vic Tandy was a level-headed scientist. But there was no denying it: at this late hour in his lonely lab at Coventry University, he saw a grey apparition out of the corner of his eye. Bathed in a cold sweat, his heart pounding in his chest, he questioned his own rational mind - could this really be a supernatural encounter? What on Earth could be sending such an eerie shudder through his body? The answer: a 19 Hz sound wave, slightly below the human range of hearing. Strange frequencies are all around us. Everybody Hertz reveals the remarkable powers of vibration in a multitude of arenas - from medicine to religion to the environment to the paranormal - taking us from the deepest notes in the universe right to the most dangerous forms of radiation. Join the quest to locate the world's loneliest whale, whose tragically mis-pitched song has haunted oceanographers for decades. Discover what strange melodies are encoded in a rat's whiskers. And see how vibrations good and bad move the universe.
