I probably just don't know enough about acoustics, but could vibrations with a subsonic period travelling through the earth cause resonations in smaller air-filled cavities (e.g. underground air pockets/caves; the insides of buildings; bodies of water) that would then result in audible vibrations?


Yes, there have been instances of subsonic standing waves/resonance in hallways that have caused feelings of fear and reports of "ghost" sightings.
