A former gospel singer from Illinois has hit the lowest note ever produced by a human voice, according to Guinness World Records.

Roger Menees, from Anna, in the southern part of the state, received a certificate this week from the organisation, the Southern Illinoisan reported.
Mr Menees, a coach driver for gospel and rock musicians, managed the feat on Feb 11 at his Carbondale recording studio. He hit 0.393 hertz - a very low F-sharp. The previous record was 0.797 hertz.
But Mr Menees says he could have done better and will probably make another attempt if his new record is bested anytime soon.
