Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz?

Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed.
This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown.

Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment?

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels. A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone.

I remember crying during her broadcasts for no apparent reason as a 16-year-old. It felt like my chest was vibrating.

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable.
