You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    So I have question? Is it allowed to use different infra sound frequencies in order to make the player feel discomfort or/and fear? So I am making a horror game and when googling around on how to make perfect sound effects and looking through different studies by different research institutes. I found that a infra sound with the hz frequency can make a person feel discomfort and fear. I would like to use this to my game as a sort of a effect so the player feel fear when played. As that is the my goal with my horror game.
  2. What is the issue? Include enough details if possible!
    The issue here is if this is allowed to mess peoples moods by using infra sounds that wont be possible to hear. But can effect their brain and feelings.
  3. What solutions have you thought of so far?
    Adding warnings and make sure they are okay with all this before playing.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Even if this is allowed, good luck. Most headphones and speakers have a hard time dealing with below 30Hz.

I was about to say this was not allowed, but I remembered that rule was for Roblox China and potentially Xbox. This is allowed on mobile and computer, but as I said, the desired effect probably won’t work well if at all.
