He’s clearly trying to quantify it with many different measurements in the video. Shoes his dog reacting to something, vibrations in water, etc.

His dog's "reaction" is all based on his conjecture that its behavior is due to the same phenomenon that he describes hearing. Same with the water.

There's no evidence presented that links the waves with the sound he claims to hear or his claims that the dog's behavior is abnormal. But part of the problem there is that the filmmaker is choosing to strike (IMO) a very mysterious tone with the editing and score. If we wanted to be non-nutcases, we'd cut to the MD PhD human audiology expert or the physicist or someone who would be able to substantiate or refute the claims.

"Yes, I've sampled all kinds of places and this low frequency band is not normally so powerful."

"Yes, some humans can hear this band. We did a controlled test with the subject and he had abnormally good response at the low frequency range."

We didn't see anything of the sort. So either the filmmaker decided not to consult experts, decided to put that towards the end (), or consulted them and they refuted the claims.

() I'm not patient enough to get past the video where the nutcases debate the priorities while exploring the wilderness.
