There's a band called Psywarfare - apparantly, it's specifically designed to experiment with different frequencies in music which can affect us more in terms of being subliminal then mere messages heard backwards on songs. I have a site with their CD's on it that's been waiting forever for me to buy one, this is a good reminder!
Here's an excerpt from an interview:
One of the only constants with Psywarfare has been your interest in infrasonic frequencies. How did you learn about these potentially fatal sounds, and what do you use to generate them? Describe some of your experiments with infrasonics over the last few years, and explain what got you interested in your current undertaking of perverting trendy bass recordings into dangerous recordings.Well the idea of music or sound as a weapon has always appealed to me. That is why I got into Punk rock music in the early 1980’s then moved on to metal and hardcore, but all these "threatening" genres of music always fell short of achieving what it was advertising it possessed. Initially all these genres were "threatening" in a fashion sense. Mohawks, torn jeans, colored hair, long hair, etc. The music was loud and obnoxious, but once it became diluted by mainstream music, I quickly lost interest. I found out about infrasonic frequency from a book on police control in the 1960's and learned of their use of infrasonic freq. as a "non-violent" means for crowd control. I am working on a CD that is intended for use in those annoying bass mini-trucks. A guy I work with is really obsessed with this culture and he asked if I could make him a track that was "bumpin’" (his words not mine) so I said, I could record some music for him that if played at the proper volume it would vibrate his internal organs until they hemorrhage, of course he became very excited, saying, "Damn dog, that’s just the type of shit I needs." So I made him a test song and he loved it, he hasn't played it at the proper volume yet unfortunately, but we can hope he gets curious soon.

I've heard about that bass thing, but you also have to play it really f*cking loud to get any effect. He's definitely exaggerating in that interview. I read a short magazine article about it, and what it said was that if you turn the bass up in one of those freaky huge custom car stereos that they build just to have competitions with, and you have the volume REALLY REALLY LOUD, you can kill insects or small rodents. I doubt it could kill a person.

Yeah I did think that myself and that if it was really dangerous then it wouldn't be sold to the public. However, infrasonic frequencies aren't necessarily the bass sounds he's talking about and were supposedly used in the past in covert circumstances for numerous reasons.
^Yes exactly - it's more generally used to disorientate and make you off balance - the using as a killer weapon is more for movies 😉 but probably not impossible 😖
Other uses are/were probably espionage, spying, intercepting, psycological testing/control (individual not mass) in institutions under the label 'medical treatment/clinical trials' etc
