Noise at 20 Hz and 40 Hz?

When measuring, 60 Hz of noise is generated in my country. So it also appears on Mind Monitor when 60 Hz is not filtered.

However, once in dozens of times, noise occurs and continues even in 20 Hz and 40 Hz. I googled it, and the term 'subharmonics' seems to be the most similar to this phenomenon, but does subharmonics occur in a normal home environment? Then, the reason why it doesn't appear well on Mind Monitor is because Mind Monitor filters that frequencies?

I wonder if anyone had seen this noise before.
Have a good day!

Power line noise at 50/60Hz (depending on what you select in settings) is filtered from the calculated brainwaves, but you will always see all noise in the discrete frequency graph as this is unfiltered.
I'm not sure what the 20 & 40Hz noise would be.

I have this issue on 30 and 60. Now I am sure 60hz is noise, but not sure about 30 in this picture. How to filter them in the settings ?

I also share this noise. It's our link to the collective. I think it means your always broadcasting at that freq.

Additionally it seems anyone I have attached mind monitor too also shares this freq. It's essentially like your concentrating really hard, but it appears to be passive

50/60Hz is powerline noise. Move away from power lines / lights etc and it'll go away. Test outside your house has lots of unsheilded power lines ;-) This won't affect your brainwave readings as it's outside of their frequency bands.
I'm not sure about the 32Hz noise @larryz is seeing though.

The 32Hz is not always there, only obvious when I am in very good meditation status, so I am not sure about it. Will try more on both muse1 and s.

BTW,I want to know the definition of Gamma bands in MindMonitor, 25~100Hz ?

Thanks, James!
