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

Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'.
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?

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

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