170 Hz is a lower pitch sound of the human voice. Whispering young lovers communicate with their gaze, lips and touch rather than rage against the prejudices of the world. Their innocent love might just be a fantasy. The film offers an aspiring message for viewers to dream of better world, and to endure the pain of reality through their affectionate whisper. –BIFF
