The design is indeed simple. I'm sure other designs would work well too, but
not only is the correct pitch important, but it must have a way to convey this
pitch to the lungs. One wonders if an electrical vibrator pitched to the right
frequency would do the job. It would likely be more expensive to produce, but
could have the advantage of being tunable in case some people have lungs with
cilia that vibrate at a slightly different wavelength. Hard to believe that
every single human has lungs tuned to 16 mhz exactly, but maybe at that low
threshold accuracy is not as important.

I have zero music background so don't understand any of it, but in reading the
comments on the first link a person posted this. Is it true?
