Has it been proven? I see articles that suggest pathways or mechanisms.

But when I looked for a double blind study with controls, they do not find any effects at all. Arguably the majority of studies are around 8 hour periods or sleep period, not 24 hour exposure. But you would think they would find something. They did hearing tests, blood test, brain activity tests, and emotional response "feeling" scores. It just isnt there conclusively.

People started doing a lot of this research because of the wind turbines, which also are very loud, run as long as their is wind, and produce infrasound.

Don't get me wrong: I am not defending putting loud constant noise machines near people, this should be part of a zoning regulation. That seems bad enough, infrasound or not.
