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'.
Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed.

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.
