It shouldn't be any kind of a problem on and even half-decent audio system (which should have appropriate filters built in). The worst That could happen is that extreme LF at high amplitude just might tend to overload input stages, which won't sound very nice. I've heard the effect described as bugling under water! Wow! Just looked at it in Audacity - it's pretty extreme! Still shouldn't be a problem though. -- Will J G
