The Infrasound Laboratory at the University of Hawaii operates as a small research unit within HIGP and SOEST, based in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. It studies atmospheric acoustics by using highly sensitive microphones to detect infrasound, sounds whose frequencies are too low for human hearing. These inaudible signals can propagate through the atmosphere over thousands of kilometers, enabling data collection across vast distances. As part of the University of Hawaii's research services, the lab contributes to scientific inquiry into atmospheric acoustics. With a small team, it provides focused research within the university’s broader science programs.
