There are certain ultra-low frequencies that resonate with the human
body. The one that resonates with your intestines will cause you to
cramp up and make a mess of yourself. There is another that resonates
with bones and is exceedingly unpleasant. Both have been tried in
experimental non-lethal weaponry. ELF is much to high frequency to for
either of those effects, at least from resonance.

I don't see how something in the .3-3 kHz region can give the listed
effects.
