If you mean the "brown note" ? then no it would seem it doesn't exist ... the Mythbusters tested it and couldn't get Adam to succumb not matter what series of notes they tried - and believe me they had some serious gear when they did this

No it doesn't work.

That cleans it up then.. I just wondered i found this

I guess some people feel it works some don't..

KISS on their first tour in 1976 nearly made me poo myself.
Don't know if they used some brown notes but they certainly wrote some crap songs.

don't confuse brown noise and the "brown note"

Brown noise is a static noise frequency like white noise....

the "brown note" is a note that is fabled to be at the same oscilation as the human bowels and if played loud enough will cause you to plop yourself....

It doesn't work, and there isn't a "set" brown note that has been proven to make you parp....

The south park episode is HILARIOUS though!

Let's not go there. I nearly got accosted by dozens of their biggest fans at the V festival last summer when I told my mate what I thought of their excremental set. I was duty bound though. Anyone who saw them butcher Seven Nation Army should have joined me. A truly awful band.

like at the end of ichi the killer, he does that to drown out ichi's crying!

Yeah saw this on brainiac. They gave a guy a portaloo and played this noise down some headphones. Hamster said it worked but didn't show for obvious reasons.

Words cannot describe how awful it is. If Jack White ever decides to punch another band's singer again, I think we know who it should be!

it wouldn't work down headphone anyway... it's SURELY the specific vibration of the wave played loud enough to cause the bowels to evacuate... not just the hearing the sound itself

That was the way the guys at mythbusters tried it - they hooked up some 'UGE speakers and Adam went and stood in between them and they went through a variety of frequencies - he had to wear ear protectors though as otherwise he'd be deaf pretty quickly (your ear drums would blow in seconds)

When they did it they did take precautions in case it worked - he wore a big pair of pants over his trousers
