 thisnamecantbetaken says: Various features of modern life have been blamed - gas pipes, power lines, mobile phone masts, wind farms, nuclear waste, even low-frequency submarine communications. The internet is abuzz with rumour and speculation. There are dark mutterings about secret military activity, alien contact and government cover-ups. The hum even featured in an episode of the sci-fi drama "The X-Files". Such conspiracy theories are understandable, but unhelpful, according to Dr David Baguley, who's head of audiology at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. He estimates that in about a third of cases there is some environmental source that can be tracked down and dealt with. "It may be a fridge or an industrial fan or a piece of heavy machinery at a nearby factory that is causing the disturbance and can be switched off," he says. Most of the time, however, there is no external noise that can be recorded or identified. You can hear an amplified recording of the hum, at the source. posted a clip from this source a wee while back: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/08/hummingearth/ Yeah, I thought it could be the Earth's hum too, but human hearing lies roughly between 15-20,000 hertz. and Earth's hum has been measured to be 10 millihertz, which is much too low for humans to hear.  Hmm, curiouser and curiouser I hate the hum. It is maddening. I'm tired of the humdrum........  probably haarp project....... My first thought upon seeing the article was also the H.A.R.R.P program. Couple times after the beaches I've got earwax. Those were the hums.  In woods sometimes cicadas make terrible buzzing. Should we fight with them as noise pollutants? But if my neighbor will start to fix his bathroom tales, I wouldn't stand it. May be because my bathroom has to be fixed too? HAARP only became fully operational in 2007 and this "hum" has been going on for decades. HAARP does use both high frequency and ELF and VLF radio waves too though, for ground penetration, so that's a pretty good bid. I can't seem to find any info on the frequency of the "hum". That would make the search for an answer a bit easier. I can hear the hum too, but not always. I can usually hear it in the evenings from about 5 pm to around 3 am. For a long time, no one else could hear it and I thought it might just be in my head (as in blood flow through the inner ear or arterial whooshes in the carotid or something.  ) but luckily now at least two of my friends, can hear it too.Here's a ... It could also be our senses are becoming more subtly sensitive. Animals have a much broader range of sight, hearing, touch etc - but if evolution is a continuing process that is happening right now - how would we know? We are a tree in the woods how can we see the woods from where we are planted? Just a musing Yeah, I thought it could be the Earth's hum too,I heard the hum. It started quite suddenly. Sounded like it was coming from everywhere, including the bathroom sink. It was driving me nuts. Thought there might be air in the pipes. Called in the plumber. He heard it too, was baffled and left after about an hour with no charge. Five streets over, a utility contractor was working below ground. Thought I solved the problem, believing it to be transmission of vibrations from where they were working to my home. At the end of the day, the Utility Contractors had gone home and still the humming hummed on. My wife came home from work and solved the problem. Turns out when I finished s... hahaha, Steve Savage. Once I kept hearing a hum that was driving me MAD. My husband finally discovered this play toaster of my daughter's that was stuck in the "on" position. It was HOT from the batteries, I guess. We threw it out (after removing the batteries). I am lucky it didn't burn the house down. For decades, hundreds of people worldwide have been plagued by an elusive buzzing noise known as "the Hum". Some have blamed gas pipes or power lines, others think their ears are faulty. A few even think sinister forces could be at work.Maybe the "Hum" is coming from here, http://3108.info/play/PLAYTHINGS.htm No, I haven't. And if it's not the ocean as cakebelly's clip alleges, then something that came to my mind was electromagnetic fields (these could either be man-made, or natural). Similar to how for hundreds of years some people have heard sounds either of, or directly generated by aurora. |
