Directly measured, standardized, or well-supported in mainstream scientific or technical literature.

The underlying cycle is measurable, but the audible tone is an octave-transposed mapping used for comparison, listening, and practice rather than a naturally audible emission.

Review the evidence model

The fundamental Schumann resonance at ~7.83 Hz is an electromagnetic standing wave in the cavity between Earth's surface and ionosphere, excited by lightning discharges. Falls in the alpha-theta brainwave border.
