Rupert Till, an expert in acoustics and music technology at Huddersfield University, West Yorks, says the standing stones had ideal acoustics.

He says the original Stonehenge, a national monument that has baffled archaeologists who have argued for decades over the stone circle’s 5,000-year history, probably had “a very pleasant, almost concert-like acoustic” that human ancestors slowly perfected over many generations.

Because Stonehenge itself is partially collapsed, Dr. Till used a computer model to conduct experiments in sound.

He says the most exciting discoveries came when he and colleague Dr. Bruno Fazenda visited a full-size concrete replica of Stonehenge, with all the original stones intact. It was built as a war memorial by American road builder Sam Hill in Maryhill, Wash.

“We were able to get some interesting results when we visited the replica by using computer-based acoustic analysis software, a 3D soundfield microphone, a dodecahedronic speaker, and a huge bass speaker from a PA company,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“By comparing results from paper calculations, computer simulations based on digital models, and results from the concrete Stonehenge copy, we were able to come up with some of these theories about the uses of Stonehenge.

“We have also been able to reproduce the sound of someone speaking or clapping in Stonehenge 5,000 years ago.

“The most interesting thing is we managed to get the whole space [at Maryhill] to resonate, almost like a wine glass will ring if you run a finger round it.

“While that was happening a simple drum beat sounded incredibly dramatic. The space had real character; it felt that we had gone somewhere special,” he said.

Headbanging to Metallica, Motorhead or Megadeth could be hazardous to your health, according to the British Medical Journal.

Declan Patton and Andrew McIntosh from the School for Risk and Safety Sciences at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, have studied how heavy metal afficionados jerk their heads to a beat - and the effect it has on their brains.

The Patton and McIntosh research on “headbanging techniques” suggests that thrashing about “like an electro-shocked rabbit” may cause similar effects to whiplash.

The report explains that a typical death-metal rhythm of 146 beats-per-minute or faster, combined with head-banging arcs of at least 45 degrees, will likely cause “mild head and neck injury.” Faster tempos and wider arcs could lead to “definite risks of mild traumatic brain injury.”

Anecdotal evidence also points to the potential health hazards of thrash rock, the survey says.

“In 2005, doctors believed that Terry Balsamo, the guitarist from Evanescence, experienced a stroke from head banging,” the report notes.

The study also used what it calls “the theoretical headbanging model,” which measures the all-important beats per minute and the degrees of head arc, to show rebellious cartoon teenager Beavis in little danger of harming himself - but Butt-head could be in real trouble.

Having studied film of the two headbanging to The Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated” at 164 beats per minute, the Aussies discovered Beavis’ head arc is about 45 degrees, which is below the injury threshold.

Butt-head has a bigger problem. He headbangs with a range of motion of about 75 degrees, which is likely to cause risk of “level one” injuries including painful headaches and dizziness.

Apparently, Butt-head also butts his head much faster than Beavis.

Patton and McIntosh, who attended hard rock and heavy metal concerts in the course of their research, suggest metal fans wear a neck brace while headbanging, or “stick to listening to Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Enya and Richard Clayderman.”
