The Brown Note- AYSM (SILWARR)

In this AYSM - Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities solo episode, Brett dives into one of the internet’s most infamous scientific myths: The Brown Note—the supposed ultra-low sound frequency powerful enough to make you instantly lose bowel control.

Is it real? Could a deep bass tone actually turn your intestines into a malfunctioning subwoofer? And why has this myth survived for decades despite being busted harder than a cheap speaker at a Metallica concert?

Brett breaks down the strange science of infrasound, the spooky ways low frequencies mess with your brain, the South Park episode that launched the legend into pop culture, and the moment MythBusters literally tried to weaponize acoustics in the name of science.

Spoiler: no pants were harmed.

You’ll learn where the story came from, why people swear it has to be true, and what infrasound really does to the human body (hint: wrong end). It’s weird, it’s hilarious, it’s slightly unsettling — classic AYSM.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a sound can actually make you poop… this episode hits all the right frequencies.

Cheers!

Brett
