First, your claim that no one is studying this is absurd. I assume you know about this because of the public announcement by the ARCADE team in January at the 213th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. There isn't some sort of Evil Conspiracy to suppress this information... and if there is, "they" are doing a terrible job of it.

Second, since the ARCADE instrument measures cosmic background radiation in the centimeter wavelengths, without any additional information, I can guess that the frequency is somewhere in the centimeter wavelengths, specifically 5-100 Ghz. This is somewhere between your microwave oven and FM radio. In other words, it's not very likely to influence "calmness, anger, passion" or anything else, anymore than Rush Limbaugh's broadcast does. Wait. That's a bad example, but you get what I'm saying about the actual radio waves that carry Rush's broadcast, which are passing through your body right this minute.

Finally, yes, the question of what is the frequency of the roar is a good one. My guess is that since they describe it as a "roar" it covers a relatively broad frequency band, with "relatively broad" being defined as being between a microwave oven and FM radio. I could not find a description of the signal in terms of frequency, so your basic question is a really good one!
