Abstract: Auditory envelopment (AE) has an emotional and stimulating effect, possibly akin to a recently discovered percept, affective touch, modulated by non-neural pathways of the body. Four listening tests are presented where children from the age of 6, to the eldest at 96, reliably identified abstract low frequency sounds, with AE inducement being the only difference between them. Moreover, naive test subjects across the ages used remarkably similar words when asked to describe their impression, thereby implying the percept to be fundamental. AE is also found to be primarily an aural percept with a lower frequency limit between 35 and 50 Hz. AE may be naturally experienced in acoustic music, concert halls and houses of worship, but movie theatres with decent acoustics and 3D audio systems offer a systemic and extraordinary capacity to administer AE in reproduction. Practical implications are discussed, including AE-control bottlenecks in the recording, mixing, distribution and reproduction of audio.
