    It's not just the lowest frequencies.

    The A used for tuning -- the one that's six notes up from middle C on a piano -- is 440 hZ, which (according to my questionable math) results in a wavelength...

    I agree with bdiament -- not that he needs it -- but I may have a simpler experiment which you can do from the comfort of your listening chaise lounge/couch/bean bag chair.
