What are the effects of throat singing or throat chanting?

Certain Buddhist sects practice their mantras using very deep tones generated in the throat. From what I understand, the very low frequency vibrations generated induce particular mental states during the meditation practice. What are the mental states induced? What is the intended purpose? What are the effects? If possible, please provide links to resources with instructions explaining how the meditation is performed and what the purpose and effects are.

    The effects often include the ability to sing two separate frequencies at the same time, one being an overtone of the other.
