Actually no. But the headphones certainly produce far more bass than my
speakers do.

Doesn't necessarily mean the pipes generate any significant energy at
their fundamental. ;-)

By sound card, amplifier and headphones are all "rated" to do 20 Hz - 20
kHz. Of course that only means the system has a meaningful amount of
gain in that range; I'm sure frequencies outside it do register a little.
But clearly, no stereo system is likely to shake the building like a
real pipe organ can - much to my neighbor's relief! ;-)
(BTW... if your headphones *have* a "resonant frequency", the designers
did something wrong.)

o_O
It looks like it would take 3 people to play it...!
