Résumé

Le son â des frequences moins de 20 Hz est appelé infrason. Il peut être émis par des sources aussi bien naturelles qu'artificielles, mais à des niveaux très élevés il doit être d'origine artificielle. Quelques recherches antérieures ont indiqué que l'infrason peut provoquer des effets néfastes sur le fonctionnement de l'être humain, comme l'accomplissement d'une tâche, y inclus conduire un véhicule. Cet article fait la critique de la littérature publiée depuis ces recherches antérieures. Des effets auditifs, physiologiques et des effets sur 1'accomplissement des tâches sont présentés. Des études récentes montrent que ces effets sont moins sévères que 1'indiquaient les premières recherches. En plus, des considérations méthodologiques prouvent que les résultats des études récentes sont plus exacts que ceux des recherches antérieures.
