Hazardous Sounds in Florida
I’m sitting on a plane which just took off from Tampa where I spent a three-day weekend.
I wasn’t in Florida to vacation, but to recharge my battery by attending a Mastermind group that meets four times a year. At the end of the meeting though, a jarring noise almost made me leave the room.
A video was being shown on the large screen in front of me and another hundred plus members. Don’t get me wrong, it was an absolutely riveting interview. But it was marred by some really annoying background sounds. After a few minutes of being exposed to a constant low frequency rumble, my chest began tightening up. As I said earlier, I nearly got up to leave the room, it got so bad.
The interview was too riveting though, so I decided to remain seated. I’m telling you - this was hard. Fortunately the clip only lasted 9 minutes.
Who was it being interviewed keeping me seated even while I was starting to feel my body reacting in self-defense? None other than my mentor and teacher of the Mastermind, Matthew Furey.
After it all ended, I was happy to offer the producers of this film a solution to their low frequency sound challenge. Interestingly many other members came up to me asking about software program,
which is called SoundSoap2.
This low frequency sound episode reminded me of the power sound has on our health and well-being. And that most of us are pretty oblivious to these hidden health hazards.
You may not even realize that the hum of an air conditioner, to take one example, is affecting your ability to think clearly.
My husband Clayton put one of those window A/Cs in my studio this morning. It’s hitting the low nineties all week, a rare event for Asheville, and I can’t have my music equipment sweltering in Florida-like temperatures with humidity to match.
As a result, I noticed my ability to concentrate lessened because of the constant low frequency sound the A/C was emitting. So, it’s staying off for much of the heat wave. I’d rather be warm than fatigued.
Pay attention to those hidden noises in your life. If possible, mask them with high frequency music to balance out your environment.
A balanced mind is your most important asset.
Warm Regards,

P.S. The rest of my weekend in Tampa was superb. The short sound episode was quickly forgotten after I did some deep breathing exercises in my hotel room while playing the music on the Renewal CD.
