Former US gospel singer creates record by hitting lowest note ever

LONDON - The Guinness World Records has revealed that a former gospel singer from Illinois has become the first to hit the lowest note ever produced by a human voice.

According to the Southern Illinoisan, Roger Menees, from Anna, in the southern part of the state, received a certificate this week from the organisation, the Telegraph reported.

Menees, a coach driver for gospel and rock musicians, managed the feat on February 11 at his Carbondale recording studio.

He hit 0.393 hertz - a very low F-sharp. The previous record was 0.797 hertz.

But Menees says he could have done better and will probably make another attempt if his new record is bested anytime soon. (ANI)
