Il1.B Quantified Acoustic Telemetry: The 328 Hz Resonance

On January 29, 2026, the worker conducted his own on-site acoustic measurement using a
calibrated USB condenser microphone, Audacity, and 440 Hz / 1000 Hz reference tones to
verify measurement accuracy. Measurements were taken from three positions: left ear
(facing a glass partition), right ear (facing the server racks directly), and behind the head
(shielded).

The data identified a dominant mechanical resonance spike at 328 Hz — a frequency known
to be capable of stimulating tensor tympani muscle activity. The glass partition to the
worker's left was acting as an acoustic reflector, directing reflected energy into the worker's
left ear canal. A measured ~70 dB drop in the shielded position confirms that the exposure
was directional and location-specific, not a generalized ambient hum. This telemetry, with
calibration records, was submitted to WorkSafeBC on February 6, 2026 as part of the
worker's Acoustic Trauma Brief.

The Clinical Opinion does not reference this telemetry, the 328 Hz resonance frequency, the
glass-reflection geometry, or the calibration methodology at any point.
