The "audible" range that is often quoted in these things is, i think, highly misleading
as Stockhausen points out in "How Time Passes" there is a continuum between pitch and Rhythm where at 20HZ or so (depending on the sound , of course) pitch becomes pulse. It's fairly hard to get a subwoofer that will play really low frequencies at all , even the high end Genelec systems only go down to 35hz (ish) ...
(there is a well know scientific flaw in Stockhausens ideas in this article which concerns attack transients......... but the basic concept is sound )
