Hi Steve,
     Well, actually at that low frequency I imagine it would sound like a 
series of clicks? Now, the question is if a person ran the signal through a 
wire instead of a speaker could such a low frequency induce a magnetic 
field. The experiment would probably be only covering an area the size of a 
flower pot. This is where ham ingenuity and scientific experimentation come 
together.

God bless,
Mark
