[Physics] Does the human body have a resonant frequency? If so, how strong is it

acousticsbiophysicsfrequencyoscillatorsresonance

Inspired by this question on Music beta SE, I'm wondering if the human body has a strong resonant frequency. I guess the fact that it's largely a bag of jelly would add a lot of damping to the system, but is that enough to dampen it entirely?

What models for resonance might be used to model the human body? (E.g. weight-on-a-spring, with legs as springs?) What about individual, semi-independent body parts, like legs, or lung cavity (acoustic resonance?).

Best Answer

There seem to be a lot of human body mechanical models, such as this one: enter image description here

As for applications, I have heard that sub-audio frequency vibrations have been considered as nonlethal weapons for riot control.

Addendum:
Guys, stop upvoting this. The image was not composed by me. I found it so long ago there's no chance to find the original source. Google reverse image search says it might be newbedev.com. In the "related images" section there are other similar interesting sketches on human resonant frequency.
