Infrasound is extremely long sound waves (up to 171 kilometres) below the threshold of human hearing. They literally connect the solid Earth to oceans and weather as well as to industrial practices. Infrasound-sensing stations all over the world record, for example, rocket launches, auroras, collapsing glaciers, mudslides, atomic tests and mine explosions.
