People who experience a sense of spirituality in church may be reacting to the extreme bass sound produced by some organ pipes.
I like bassy music, and really like organ music but it has to be experienced live or through a shit hot PA. Seems some sonic scientists have been investigating the undertones that give people spiritual sensations.
But in a controlled experiment in which infrasound was pumped into a concert hall, UK scientists found they could instil strange feelings in the audience at will.
These included an extreme sense of sorrow, coldness, anxiety and even shivers down the spine.
