Nominally it would be about 16Hz. Take C5, which is about 513 if memory serves, and divide by 2 5 times in succession. A0 is nominally 27.5 Hz (440 divided by 2 4 times). Once you get down that low, it is more of a "beat" than a pitch. And not much fundamental is produced. It's the partials you actually hear.
