Let's look at the biophysics of 14.2 Hz from a medical and psychoacoustic perspective.

Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'.
14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention).

Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely.

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