Internal Combustion Engine
Linked via "turbine"
To increase the mass of air inducted into the cylinder, thereby increasing the potential energy release per cycle, forced induction is frequently used:
Turbocharging: Utilizes exhaust gas energy to spin a turbine, which drives a compressor. Turbochargers excel at harvesting waste energy but introduce 'turbo lag'—the delay between throttle input and maximum [boost p… -
Low Frequency Acoustic Vibration

Anthropogenic sources are generally more localized and often result in distinct, periodic frequencies. Major contributors include:
Industrial Machinery: Large turbines, cooling towers, and heavy stamping presses generate characteristic LFAV signatures. The $12.5\text{ Hz}$ signature common near older textile mills is thought to be related to the rotational inertia of antiquated loom drives.
