Oh, and shame nothing substantial was found with those two song files. Slight differences are possibly due to recording quality via different media? And no significant low-frequency sounds. Still, at least it means they aren't everywhere to be found, which helps somewhat.
Definitely. At this point we need examples we can use as a point of reference so we know where we're actually seeing signs of indoctrination signals.
That being said, if there was a huge spike in ultrasonic sounds towards the end of 'An End Once And For All'...
Too obvious? 
Unfortunately, no peaks at the end of that track. But, I kept looking for really low frequencies and I found some. And I wasn't even surprised to find them there.
Sorry in advance for the wall post.

But one may speculate.
So, to spam you guys with more tin-foil frequency diagrams,
here is 'Leaving Earth' as a music track (average over the complete track):

Notice the prominent peak nearly below 20Hz!
That one and many of the other low frequencies are contributed by the three Reaper growls present on the track. And the most interesting growl, the
third one, gives you this:

One can clearly hear that this one stands out! It also sounds very raw. In the game, this is the moment where
the shuttles are shot down. So the reason it stands out is clear.
And now the final one.
This one is from
that one Reaper growl in the second dream:

No peaks, except for the 40Hz one, which is indeed very prominent and is also the E note in which the Reapers always yoddle in.
But the peaks are not as interesting, its
the amplitude of the low frequencies. It's loud. And it's supposed to be special! The red light emphasizes it. And according to Hellish, those two things including the boy running away are the typical signs of a failed indoc. attempt.
I think this growl is a modification of the first 'Leaving Earth' growl. And it also has more bass than the original growl:
here's the first one's spectrum for comparison directly from the track:

Here the lower frequencies are neatly missing, as it should be for good classical instruments. So the dream version is very much so altered.
So all in all, I might've no skyscraper peaks to offer in frequencies below 20 Hz, but there are definitely low frequencies present during the game, especially in the dreams. And that makes sense as, within IT, they are supposed to be Shepards weakest moments, where the Reapers have the best chance to infiltrate his mind.
