slow presure variations (weather changes, low rumble) will are not longer
percevale as audio (trough the ear). E.g. the tube of Eustachius will open
to release the pressure difference between the outer and middle ear. If not,
the tension on the membrane will become to big. (in negative or positive
sense)

Really? I would not be so sure, like, your chin or nose trembling at
5Hz doesnt make any sound at all to me, why would it add volume to
another sound happening at the same time?
