pacemakers can have up to 5 Gauss. You don't start ruining magnetic devices until around 10 gauss. The earth's magnetic field is 0.5 gauss by itself, that's 500 mG (DC). i personally wouldn't give it a moment's thought.

Well, this is your field (if you excuse the terrible pun) So I do feel more happier when you make these points of reference. |

True.
Those points are attractive.
And what First Aid Kit is complete without enough… Gauss?

People go into CT scanners and MRI machines with fields around 1-2T (teslas) which is around 10K-20K Gauss or 1x10^7 milligauss.. And yet they live! I think you'll be fine. Just don't sit on your wallet with your credit cards in them. (Just kidding.. Actually, it's almost impossible to erase a credit card with a magnet) That's true - but you go into an MRI scanner once or twice in an entire lifetime (hopefully never) And when you go in the staff clear the room and go behind a shielded wall! I'm sitting on my vibrating drum stool a couple of hours a day when I'm tracking drums. Is there some sort of EMF shield material I can sit on and still feel the vibrations? It only has to knock down 35mg of EMF to 3ms for me to feel happy again using it. MRIs don’t emit ionising radiation, so you could theoretically have a lot of them without adverse effects. CTs on the other hand, expose you to the equivalent of about 6 months worth of normal background radiation. It would be illegal to sell a drum throne that emitted ionising radiation. Your fundament is perfectly safe! |

Actually …. What about all those millions of vibrating gaming seats that have been sold to gamers. They use exactly the same technology! interestingly, a much more well-documented issue is the effects of low-frequency vibration: "Vibration exposure causes vasoconstriction in the arteries in hands and fingers, smooth muscle wall hypertrophy, periarterial fibrosis and damage to endothelial cells and receptors." (NIH) look up Vibration White Finger / Raynaud's. Now this is typically for construction tools, etc. as opposed to sound…but long-term direct exposure to low frequency vibration isn't ideal. Circulation issues, nervous system issues, and weirdly, some level of correlation to prostate cancer. |

My all time fave though was…
W.C. Fields.
Even though they’d find W.C. sometimes lying prostate.
In the Bar, next to the Studio.
The problem was paramount.

People ride motorcycles their whole lives and those things vibrate the heck out of you. These vibrations are tiny almost imperceptible. |

These vibrations are tiny almost imperceptible. don't look now, but the thing you're typing on(pc and phone) has likely done 10,000x more physical damage to you than anything else you are around possibly could, and that is also likely negligible, we've had cell phones and computers in ubiquity for 30 years and i'm not seeing much said about ill effects other than mental health lol |

On my last MRI… They thought they detected the… Shroud of Turin.  |

Im a GC and I've worked construction my whole adult life, i never make a cut or do any task that's loud without ear protection, my hearing is great and i'd bet my health at my age is far FAR superior to that of almost anyone who sits behind a desk all day, 10,000 steps a day is a slow day for me, the low freq rumble driving your car is more prevalent than the effects of any tools i use, in fact i'd say very little of what I use causes low freq vibrations, mid vibs yes. I'd also argue vibrations keep you regular, if i go for a jog(jarring>vibrations) i'm 2wice as likely to take a pre sleep dump💩 lol, so i guess what i'm saying is... life isn't black n white |
