Harmonic tremor, a sustained releahindranceeways common in volapproximatelyc eruptions – but never has the frequency becontinueo high as it was at Redoubt, beginning at a frequency endedbout 1 hertz and then ascending to about 30 hertz. Most joines’ harmwater tremors hover at about 1 hertz, far too low for a human to hear. In humans, the audible frequency range begins at about 20 hertz, so a person engaged in the highly inadvisable activity of vacationing inside an active volcano’s crater would be able hear the tremor at its high frequency, just before the volcano explodes.
