I would just like to point out that, although it differs from the binaural nature of the sounds described in the article, there are some kind of sounds which can have a long term and significant effect on humans.
These sounds cause bilateral stimulation. My father is a clinical psychologist and uses them in (Emdr) therapy to kind of 'erase' or 'overwrite' negative memories of people suffering from ptss to a neutral state. These sound are very simple in nature but the effect is astounding. Within a few sessions the disorder can disappear completely. Just an example to show that not all uses of sounds should be regarded as without long term effect. Although I believe the type of sounds discussed in TFA are.

The antennas are most likely to be directional, so the inverse square distance law doesn't quite apply here.
