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

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

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

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