Default Any audible signals on a 40 Hz AM radio?

Hi:

What would be heard on a 40 Hz AM DX receiver that uses the most
sensitive type of magnetic loop antenna? I doubt there would be any
hissing since that artifact would involve high-frequency sounds and a
40 Hz carrier cannot transport modulation-signals higher than 40 Hz
[violation of Nyquist theorem].

I also don't think power lines would have any perceptible affect on a
40 Hz receiver. In USA, the electric power has a frequency of 60 Hz --
in Europe, its 50 Hz. Since 40 Hz is below these power frequencies, I
doubt they would cause interference on 40 Hz. If I was receiving at or
above the power frequencies, I do think there would be disturbance but
not if below.

Would any interferences from outer space be perceptible on a 40 Hz AM
receiver? Galactic noise?

Thanks,

Radium


Heya ass-spelunker, I see you didn't take my advice to commit suicide
last year. But if you're gonna hang around here, I have to warn you
that a couple here got a real boner for you, especially Clowney. He
unveiled a secret to me -- told me that asspie's asses taste like
honey (hey, why do you think they call 'em "asspies.") Now, take my
advice and reject any advances these predators make on you. We don't
wanna turn you into a butt-hurt serial killer now. Avoid Clowney at
all costs -- notice how excited he is to have you back.
