This disgustingly unacceptable use of illogical united states dating system lately (month/day year) is absolutely unnatural and not our way of dating anything. The USA is the only country in the world that does that, Every other country has a logical internationally accepted, used and natural day/month/year format. This U.S. system cannot be allowed to be used here. There is also a terrible trend of using U.S. spelling which jars the senses. We are not U.S., never will be and should not lower our standards to their level.
Bass is a lower frequency, hence longer wavelength, than higher pitched sounds. Sound waves (actually, any kind of waves) can diffract around obstacles smaller than their wavelength, roughly speaking. So if you hear a cymbal in an orchestra, but you can’t see it, the sound would have had to bounce off a wall somewhere. The sound from the bass drum would just bend around everything and reach you directly. Sound loses energy at every reflection, so the high frequencies will quickly be damped - anything other than a hard tile surface absorbs high frequencies quite effectively. Low frequencies are essentially coming directly. Again, there is a wavelength effect - short wavelengths of sound will be absorbed quite effectively by a pile carpet, while longer bass wavelengths require an entire sofa or a room full of people to see much attenuation. Infra-bass is almost unaffected. That’s why people in London many miles away complained about the bass noise coming from a 1980’s Michael Jackson concert, even though they could not actually hear the music as such.
