This has nothing to do with anything important, I just got back from a choir rehearsal and we're singing Rachmaninoff, and as a Bass II my section hit some ridiculously-low notes. Escapists with a singing voice, what vocal part do you sing, and what is your lowest note?
Your lowest note?

I'm a tubist. The lowest note I can reliably get out with okay-ish tone is the Bb0, which is one half-step above the lowest note on a piano. That note and honestly everything beneath F1 is entirely dedicated to making the conductor hate low brass.
Oh, but singing? I play an instrument for a reason.

I had no idea so I used this video
Apparently I'm an Alto, which sounds about right. I struggle going low and I'm not too great at the insanely high ones.
My lowest note is a D3, according to the same video.

I'm a deep bass myself. Currently suffering from pneumonia, so I'm not exactly going to be straining to find my current deepest note (or at least, not without regretting it tremendously). I have in the past sung things like "Ol' Man River" (Show Boat), "Come Dal Ciel Precipita" (Verdi - Macbeth), "Die Frist Ist Um" (Wagner - Der Fliegende Hollander(although for this one, one could argue it's more about total range than about depth)) and many others. Since the choirs I've been a part of tend to be more aimed at a bit more modern music (musical and pop) I act there as an added baritone more often than not, when I don't it's for one or two deep notes the baritones can't touch (or of course, bass solos but we all know those are rare).
Back when I sang in a choir Soprano felt the most natural to me, but we didn't have enough Altos and since my range was decent enough I ended up singing those parts. Don't remember what my exact range was, though and I don't have enough faith in my current control over my voice to check it now.
According to me singing into a guitar tuner, F#2, although I'm not entirely sure how accurate that would be. I've done a bit of backing vocals in some bands but I'm not particularly comfortable behind a microphone so I haven't really practiced a great deal.
As I said, I'm not sure how accurate F#2 is, but my singing voice does sound much more like my super-sexy hangover voice than my regular voice for reasons I don't fully understand. I have a pretty vague understanding of how all that stuff works so if anyone feels like explaining it to me, feel free.

I'm about to get an 8 string guitar so E1.
And I death growl so let's go with the first bit of vocals from this clip. I can get that low, just not for long

I'm not a singer, and I'm a girl, but the lowest note I can hit ever is the D below middle C, but comfortably that E. I'm in the alto range.
Not counting when I go into growls, which kinda muddles the note recognition on my part, I think the lowest note I can hit on its own is an E2 in most situations. I'm pretty sure I can hit B1's when I get a serious case of morning voice, but aside from randomly singing along to MoS' "When Winter Comes", I don't count that.
Tenor here... or at least used to be while at school... haven't been part of a choir for years now.
Oh... I'm an organist, if that counts for anything, low note-wise! ¬_¬
