can any one tell me about scan of body's viberation frequency

Depends on the frequency and VOLTAGE of the line you are holding!!

And maybe SpellCheck could lead you somewhere.

Just remember: Seven HURTS!

(7 Hertz is the approximate resonant frequency of the gut.
At high levels, it is reported to cause extreme discomfort and
nausea.)

There was a MythBusters episode that dealt with this subject. I'm not sure
if they went down to 7Hz, but I think they did, and they did refer to the
so-called "brown noise". At the frequencies they did use, at (at
least)120dBspl (iirc), there were no ill effects.

On the other hand, SouthPark did a related episode, too. The results were
much different.

Achieving 120 dB at 7 Hz is a tall order.

Consider what dort of loudspeakers are needed to achieve 120 dB at 30 or
50 Hz. Go ahead with an SPL meter, loudspeakers, sinewave oscillator, and
amplifier. Outdoors that gets to be a tall order much past point blank
range.

Ever see a local band or a DJ with really good really loud deep bass?
My experience is that the most impressive deep bass was from bass bins
whose frequency response was full blast only down to about 50 Hz.
Maintaining high loudspeaker efficiency to lower frequencies requires the
loudspeakers to be proportionately larger.

For example, one in "ideal half space" needs to have a volume around
..01% of a cubic wavelength of the lowest frequency at which it works well
to have efficiency only about 1-2% from that frequency on up. (Narrowband
designs can be smaller.) Efficiency increases roughly with volume, though
significantly begins to level off around 20% (at which point you can
maintain increase in "sensitivity" by having the loudspeaker large enough
to be directional).

.01% of a cubic wavelength is roughly a 6 foot cube at 7 Hz.

Here are some of the details:

http://www.meyersound.com.au/brownnote.shtm

The test sessions were conducted in a large parking lot at Golden Gate
Fields racetrack, on the shores of San Francisco Bay. Savage stood in the
middle of the subwoofer ring, where he experienced the effect of very low
frequency sounds (down to 5 Hz) at extremely high levels (120 dB SPL with a
9 Hz sine wave, up to 153 dB peak with narrow-band noise), though the higher
levels were possible only above 20Hz. Safety was a prime consideration:
tests were limited to about five minutes in each frequency range, and
industrial-grade hearing protection was used above 120 dB. Savage was wired
to medical monitoring machinery and watched closely by paramedics during the
tests, while additional protection for those working in close proximity to
the subwoofer stack was provided by a box of extra-large Depends.

I seem to recall an early study on the 7 Hz phenomenon that
involved factory workers. When the sound was on (which of course
they couldn't "hear" directly at that low frequency), some workers
became ill. I got the impression that this was an ongoing exposure,
much longer than 5 minutes. Dont' recall anything about the sound
levels, or even if they tried to measure them throughout the factory.

I don't think they used speakers for this. It was pre-1960s so there
wouldn't have been much available anyway. I believe it was some sort
of steam whistle. (I have also seen mention of someone, early 1900s
I believe, who made a giant low-frequency steam whistle that allegedly
was so powerful it killed him "instantly" when he started it up.
YMMV <g>)

I gotta build me one of them steam whistles!
