Re: Question for Petra about tones?

Hi Lynette,

Charlotte King hears ultra low frequency sounds, and can hear submarines out at sea. This frequency I believe is what Frazier Smith recorded prior to Loma Prieta.

I hear high frequency sounds. What I believe I am hearing are rocks shearing away before earthquakes happen. Though, now I'm starting to think its possible, to hear this shearing noise without a resulting quake. Its just that there hasn't been adequate shearing for a quake to occur.

If there are sufficient earthquakes occurring on a regular basis at certain locations, in time you can tell exactly where the tone comes from. You also need to have the time to do the homework and keep track of the sounds and see where the quakes arrive.

Ear tone sensitives hear some of the following:

High pitched sounds, those that come from granite
Scratchy sounds, these come from volcanoes & geysers
A sound like your head was underwater, is an offshore earthquake
Many have a deaf ear sensation that is sometimes followed by a tone
Directions come from each one's personal location and their own body signal systems.

Usually the longer the sound, the greater the distance. Louder sounds are larger earthquakes, however, if you have a very long sound, it means a very large quake at considerable distance can be expected.

Today, there is no equipment to monitor high frequency sounds that I hear. I've learned a lot about these sounds, but when you have a full life, you don't do the work it takes to keep on top of these constant variety of noises.

I hope this helps...Petra
