Regarding the hum, one way to rule out background noise from machines or other man made devices would be to come to Bali on Nyepi, the day of silence. For 24 hours there's no traffic, no lights, no one leaving their homes or running any machines. The power grid is still active but no humming. You can hear a fan or even a refrigerator running from the neighbor's house if they've forgotten to turn off everything. It's an incredible experience to sit outside in a relatively heavily populated area such as the city of Denpasar at two o'clock in the morning and its totally dark and silent. Inside your house it feels like being inside a sensory deprivation tank. My favorite day of the year in Bali.

I'm an older person and remember the first time I heard about the hum. It was in the late sixties and there were reports of a low frequency sound being heard off the coast of San Diego, California. It created different results in people who heard it. Some reported nausea, depression and there were suicides. The government investigated and a Russian submarine was located off the coast. It was escorted away from the country with little repercussions and or reporting. The hum was no longer heard after that.

Wrong, we hear the hum here every day. It's horrible and getting louder.

The whole 'a signal would repeat' idea is strange, because every time humans have sent a deliberate signal into space to be received by possible alien civilisations, we've only sent the one, with no repeats. Also,. the 'Wow' signal is a little more special than was reported here. If you notice the circled numbers, they continue across the paper a little - these show the detection of harmonics of the hydrogen line, which is even less likely to be natural. It's like someone sent a musical C-chord (for example) and not just the note 'C'. They also sent the 'E' and the 'G' at the specific frequencies for cold hydrogen, and with a power that is rather outstanding. This is still a candidate that cannot be dismissed. And the requirement for signal repetition, I feel, is more for our benefit in analysing and verification, rather than a strong theory of how aliens would behave. If they don't know we are here (Earth specifically) then they might be sending signals out in single bursts in different directions, rather than using a lot of resources and time repeating signals (at least on a time scale that would seem logical to us - they could live much slower and send them once a century. perceiving that to be how we would a signal repeated once an hour).

I frequently hear 'the hum' in otherwise silent environments. I first noticed it in my 20s when living near the Thames in NW Kent, and the low rumble reminded me of the background hum when on a big ship, and because of my locality to the river, thought it might be such a noise meandering through the silence toward my ears. Now, I'm living in Cornwall, I've learned to still hear the noise when I focus, whether it's silent or not, and almost feel it as much in my chest and head as in my ears/mind. I think of it as the underlying hum of the Earth. That helps me sleep at sleep time. (not always night)

i noticed something similar when i was 22 (i'm now 24). A low frequency hum with no specific rhythm. And i would only hear it while relaxing and in very quiet places, so basicaly when i was trying to sleep. I didnt enjoy it though and it certainly didnt help me sleep. After a short research i came to 2 possible sources of the sound: tinitus or magnesium deficiency. As i would only be able to treat the latter, i took some magnesium suplements for a week (the ones you desolve in water with all sorts of fruity tastes) and the hum is now gone for 2 years. Magnesium seems to play a critical role in our nervous system, espacially in everything regarding our senses. So if you are looking for a possible way of getting rid of it, this might well be an easy solution. Stick to low dosing though as overdosing on Magnesium is not very pleasant for your stomach (you get the shitts)

@@HappyBeezerStudios Notes are pretty never single notes, and frequencies generally imply certain other frequencies related by something called the harmonic series or overtone series. Since sound is just pressure waves they can constructively or destructively interfere as well, and two notes might end up implying even more notes (in higher frequencies) due to the interaction. Phone might have been hearing the interference of two low slightly out of phase frequencies that constructed partials that seemed to overlap the overtone series implying a fundamental of 120 hz. Or just the hum of something really high pitched that similarly implied the 120 fundamental.

The Hum frequency is not always the same for different sufferers (I know because I am one and have been studying it for many years). For me it is around 70-75 Hz. It appears to be sound emanating from structures, such as your house, in the form of structure born sound, resulting from low frequency noise or vibrations in the ground around the structure. The sound is usually not present when in certain types of buildings, such as concrete block structures and is mainly heard at night, when the temps are cooler, due to the refraction of sound waves.

Jesus man, how many channels do you plan to have? Its amazing how much content you put out without dropping quality, cheers!

I used to hear "the hum". Would keep me awake at night and even penetrate the ear buds I'd wear. Checked everything in and around my house but couldn't find the source. After a good few years I started taking my dog for a walk round an industrial estate, which has production plant for vaccines. The vaccines were kept in refrigeration trucks, that intermittently turned on and produced a humming noise. These trucks were parked in the estate at all hours of the day and although it was 1 mile from my home, when the wind blew in the right direction or it was deadly quite at night, I could here the noise. While this was the answer to my own hum problem, if you're suffering from the hum, you may need to look a bit further afield than your immediate surroundings to solve yours, but I guess it's likely that there are multiple probable causes for this phenomenon. Good luck.

Low frequency sound waves can travel a long distance and bend around objects. I think buildings and the shape of the land itself can magnify them. There's a spot along some rail road tracks that cut through a wetland in some kettle ponds here where I swear I can hear a train coming. I'm familiar with the diesel throb as it climbs the grade out of town. But, there's no train. Move a dozen or so yards either way along the track and the sound goes away. I think it's just the ambient sound of the city that the landscape, wind, humidity, etc. focus there. Vibrations are another wave similar to sound waves. Before I retired, I ran a very large stamping press. Sometimes we'd pierce steel blanks nearly a half inch thick, but typically .375" We started getting complaints from ONE house about half a mile away. I thought it crazy, as no other house was experiencing vibration. Plus, they were right along the CN mainline, you'd think the trains would be the source. But they had us run the press, shut it down, run it and shut it down and the vibrations correlated perfectly. We fixed the press (shock absorbing material on the feet had compacted over the years) and the vibrations went away. We never did figure out or look into the why of it. I figure it probably had to do with subsurface "streams" of water or some other underground feature.

A video about the Taos hum had interviews with residents who heard it that echoes my own experience. I live in Northern California & I myself have been hearing AND feeling a low grade hum/vibration for at least 8 months. What’s more, it sometimes has a pulsing effect where it increases & decreases in strength. I’ve polled my neighbors & most do not feel/hear it but some actually do. I’ve asked my kids. They don’t feel/hear it…but I feel/hear it constantly. It is not electrical or mechanical because I live in an area prone to fire so we have continual & long lasting (48 hrs) stretches with no power. The hum/vibration continues. It comes from underground. I’ve heard theories about magma moving, mole people, underground mining, etc. I found that site by that scientist & was going to report this hum but it wants to know the frequency & I don’t have a way to measure that. I also found another KZread video with an audio recording which is EXACTLY what I hear/feel only it’s been amplified so it’s much louder than what it is normally. But it’s an exact match. This is real folks, and I believe it is some sort of planetary phenomenon. At times it resembles an idling motor in your driveway! Something else I noticed, when I go outside to listen, it’s very very faint , almost non existent BUT, I feel it up thru the floor of my modular home. Modular homes, like mobile homes must be on a “permanent foundation “ which is really cement pillars strategically placed under the home. Now the interesting thing is, on plain earth, or the street, I don’t hear or feel it. But when I’m standing on the cement pad where The neighborhood mailboxes are located, I hear/feel it again!

This happened on every secure communication encryption devices in use across the entire USAF Forces. If you were deployed in any fashion, whether real world or exercise, it was the same encryption code. The way you loaded the equipment was to pull a specific strip of paper with holes in it, like reverse Braille, off a roll that looks like a large modern Label Maker cartridge and then you would roll it thru a reader connected to the equipment. If by chance someone pulled the next days paper out early, even if it wasn't loaded, the entire AF Comm personel would have to update their equipment again to the next update tape. You had from 00:00 til 00:05 to have everyone verify via radio or other means that their tapes were right so everyone was on the same tape.

It wasnt unheard of to be up and running via satt link within 7 to 10 minutes) (again, when it worked). The encryption was originally via a KG-13, which you or may not remember. It was the size of a small refrigerator and took cardboard crypto cards. That system was later replaced by the KYK-13/KG-84/KIV-7 configuration (Im sure you probably remember those) when they figured out that a flaw in the KG-13 algo/math meant the Russians could potentially break our code. We never knew if they did or not, but it was apparently pointless, as we learned later that several traitors were providing loads of our stuff to the Russians anyway. - Mostly good times in the Herd, but I was glad to cross-train after Desert Storm.

Was that bit with the Hum actual recording of it? Because I could totally hear the low frequency. I recently checked my hearing, and my low frequency hearing was said to be "almost superhuman." Normally, humans can't hear below 20 Hz. I could hear down to 13 Hz. My upper range was also good considering my age. I know that, as a child, things like dog whistles, electronic spider and cricket repellents, and other things that used frequencies supposedly too high for a human to hear drove me absolutely insane. My bedroom often got black widows (it was near the backyard and this was a common spider in our area) so my mother tried that electronic spider repellent thing. I almost smashed it with a hammer! My middle school had one for crickets, and I got migraines whenever I had to go to the nurse's office. She finally learned to unplug it if I was in there for yet another bloody nose. If I had to live with that low frequency for hours, I would go absolutely insane.

I grew up in Germany in the late 80’s. I remember playing with a short wave radio and stumbling into a number station. There was a serious if pops and clicks in a pattern. After about 10 min of this there was a serious of numbers read by a slightly female voice with zero accent.

A rare kind of Tinnitus isn't a satisfying answer, because even if the Tinnitus itself would make us perceive vibrations that are not real, why does it appear to be like an event, wittnessed by more than one person ,sometimes even over a certain amount of time and on a regional scale.

For those investigating Numbers Stations, look up 'The Conet Project'. They released 4 full CD's worth of shortwave recordings with a handy PDF guide to what's being played and when it was recorded. Neat stuff.

I am reading Plutarh, the Roman historian, who writes that during the civil war between Sula and Gaius Marius " the biggest of these indications was that when in a clear sky day a sound of trumpet was heard with such a lenght and piercing and sorrow tone that the whole world got terrified from it's deafening sound" * i translated it from my language, but i'm sure it says the same in Latin from which it originated. This dates to ~100 BCE.

I should first say that I have that tinnitus where I always hear those high pitch noises that sound like natural gas flowing through a pipe. I don't notice it all the time, but its there whenever I focus on it. Having said that, I used to routinely go walking in the NJ pines. I noticed on several occasions that while walking I would often hear a low frequency rumble that seemed to stop when ever I stopped moving. At first I thought it was a jeep because it sounded like a jeep moving slowly a few hundred feet away. Almost always there whenever I walked. I would describe it as a 10-20Hz rumble. It was different from the tinnitus in that it never seemed to get louder when I focused on it. The tinnitus ringing ALWAYS gets louder when I focused on it.

Meditate on that sound. Give it your undivided attention. As the sound dilates, reality will disintegrate. The closest thing I might relate the experience to, is an exploded technical drawing, except the disassembly of parts becomes infinitesimal. You’ll instinctively pull attention back from that unknown experience, before you get lost. It’s like deliberately unfocusing you eyes, then if something moves in your field of view, you instinctively refocus your eyes. It’s tricky to keep your eyes unfocused for long. This is like reality itself coming apart and losing all definition at the time scale we are accustomed to, and we instinctively recoil from the experience. With practice you can linger outside of reality as we know if though, and then when you allow your attention to reassemble you perception of reality, you can easily return to a different version of reality. The longer you wait to return to your senses, the less likely you’ll be to return to the reality you’re familiar with. Better not fool around with this, if you have friends, families, lovers, whom you care about and don’t wish to leave behind…

It has been said that the last thing we want is someone out there to take note of us, as they are likely to be so advanced of us, that if they did decide to come and investigate it would be akin to the Spanish meeting the Maya.

The other guys are the Empire. The not so nice guys. They united their world by force, and are looking for other worlds to take over. Only problem with earth is that nasty indigenous fauna that needs to be removed first. But at least there is already infrastructure, so they don't have to build their own cities and roads and stuff before taking over. So far we humans have shown to be of the empire type.

When I was working in Midland TX there was a distinct very low frequency sound. I suspect it was some sort of resonance from the oil pumps, but was a constant sound at about a quiet conversation level. When I went on to Pecos it didn't have the same sound.

5:54 Did anyone else laugh hysterically when the saw the three tiny red fire extinguishers on the bumper of the truck carrying an enormous fucking bomb?

Chapter 3 is easy enough to explain: Mass hysteria. Living in embassies on "hostile" territory, with long term fear and suspicion, real and imagined ailments were attributed to hostile actions. Once the imagined mechanism was widely publicized, anyone with a headache and a need to feel important imagined themselves targeted by ultra secret, sonic weapons. The fact is, though, that there's no possible motive for any government to torture embassy staff in this way. There's absolutely nothing to be gained from it. Since nothing is done without a motive, such attacks have never been carried out. That the Wow-signal has never been picked up again isn't very strange, as the total telescope time listening for it during the 45 years since then amounts to minutes, rather than hours. There are many scenarios, in which it might originate with intelligent aliens, yet never be heard by us again. Like we assume that anyone trying to contact us would transmit 24/7, they might assume that anyone wanting to hear a signal would listen 24/7 -- certainly once they picked up a good candidate in a specific location. If so, they might find it sufficient to send a single, five minute signal per month. Their assumption would be far more reasonable than ours, as transmitting is expensive, while listening is cheap. Another possibility is that it wasn't intended for us, or wasn't intended as a signal. It may have been a targeted radio signal to someone else (spaceship, planet), which we just happened to be in line with, or it might be incidental noise from some other activity.

I first heard your pleasantly resonant tones on the Casual Criminalist, Mr. Whistler, and I was thrilled to find that you have several channels presenting intriguing content in a manner that is never dull or dry. Many thanks for your hard work.

In the late late 70s or early 80s my mother reported that she was hearing thumps -- and sometimes double-thumps -- that made it sound like somebody had landed on the roof! When I came back from university I got to hear the sounds too. They weren't quite that loud, but definitely something that our sensitive ears would notice. After a few days I realized that the thump sounds often came at the same times of day, within minutes of each other! I started noting the times on my calendar. I asked neighbors if they had heard the sounds but they said that they hadn't. A couple of months later there was an article in the local paper that talked about people living in the state of Rhode Island in the USA being able to hear sonic booms from the Concord as it was getting up to speed. They mentioned the times and they were all consistent with the times that I had recorded on my calendar! It was nice that the mystery was solved!

As far as the hum goes. I think it would make sense as machinery, at least in North America if we could demonstrate that it is 60 hertz or a resonance of it. With our power grid running at 60 hertz all electrical machinery and electric motors will have some level of hum at that frequency. I also find the idea of entering a silence room interesting. If it doesn't go away in there and it is not picked up by the equipment, we know it internal to the person or it is a non-sonic source somehow being processed by the brain as sound.

When it boils down to it, in layman's terms.......everything is a vibrational frequency.

Speaking of crickets. Where I use to work, our boss was a real piece of work. But he would only get to work at about a minute before the official time. One of my coworkers would come in the building and slip a few crickets under his locked door before he got there. He did this a lot and the boss never caught on. He’d catch the crickets eventually and put them outdoors.

I double majored in Astronomy and Physics at OSU. I've been to the Big Ear (it's not on campus, it's a bit of a short drive away). I do remember seeing either the original piece of paper with "wow" on it or a copy (it was decades ago, I don't remember for sure).

The hum is caused by the movement of power wires in response to the high peak current drawn by switch mode power supplies. It’s more like a muffled clicking at 50 or 60 hz per phase and that goes to 150jz across the three phases. We need reports of how the level changes during wide spread blackouts. Personally I hear it louder inside than out and closer to the mains entering a building than at the end of the run.

Great video, but please consider reducing the music volume. It is much too loud, and makes listening more difficult, especially over the second half.

I hear a hum quite often, I describe it as sounding a bit like a kitchen exhaust fan. I assume it is tinnitus but as it isn't always there and I sometimes hear short spikes in the volume I also think maybe I can hear the blood flowing through vessels close to my ears.

I heard the hum in a fairly remote spot in the eastern French Pyrenees, remote enough for a stargazing club observatory anyway. I mentioned it to my host who replied by asking if I was psychic. Before I had a chance to answer the daughter of the house ran in and said "Quick, Dad's in a coma" (her father had one of those wasting neuro diseases). An ambulance was called and set up some equipment which ran with the same humming sound.

You did an episode on it before and you laughed about people believing it because , you said, before the sound bothered you it would kill you from the heat. This is true. This is what it's used for, they can target the heat. So far there has been one death by heart attack from a guy in a front line at a protest who got hit by it for too long.

The so-called 'Havana syndrome' has been given much simpler explanation: Aging. The people affected tend to be in middle age, many in late middle aged, and many of the symptoms fit what are natural effects of aging. The idea that a foreign power would hold technology that is beyond what United States can produce, or could produce even in the immediate near future, also makes it suspect. The technology needed for this might not even be viable at all. After the idea of a syndrome became known, people then started to connect their own symptoms to it, as commonly happens.

Speaking of sound, the audio was very sharp and all over the place in this video

Interesting and worthwhile video.

I have a lot of experience with the Hum. The best description is - diesel engine idling in distance or maybe better - a big fan in distance. It is not a sound, at least, not in the spectrum we can hear. So, it is more like a vibration that only few people can feel. It is not internal because few people can feel the same thing at the same time and place. It is everywhere in the air around us, even outside. People report that it is only inside because outside there are other sounds that cover the Hum. People also report that it starts when they put their had on a pillow. That is quite normal because the vibration can be felt better when we are at peace. The air outside vibrates, it vibrate walls and windows and the vibration probably amplifies on that shallow and big plain surfaces. I do want not say that neighbour's ceiling fan could not sometimes produce similar effects. But, that is another problem. The worst scenario is frantically trying to find the source or to accuse the neighbours. The source of the Hum can not be found (we do not have senses or tools to measure it). So, what to do? If you can accept that some vibration exists and that it would eventually even pass - that's nice. It could pass with weather change, temperature change or maybe without a observable reason. Air plugs or similar devices are of no much help because we do not cope with a sound. Attitude towards the vibration could be useful. Maybe even some kind of mindfulness meditation could help. Like this: Notice not the vibration but your reaction to it. You could be lucky if you will be able to keep the vibration mostly out of your focus/attention. If that does not help, one shortcut is to cover that vibration with another vibration (some music, white noise ...). I do not like that approach because even that sound could start to be annoying, especially in the night. If you start loosing your mind, think seriously about moving far away from that place. Otherwise, bad state of the mind would just amplify negative effects. From my experience, I felt the Hum more annoying when I was in some stressful period. The nerves were probably more sensitive at those times. We can consider the situation in a spiritual way. Maybe the Universe is sending us a signal to move somewhere else. Anyway, we can not see the whole light spectrum, we can not feel or hear all the frequencies. Who knows what else we can not notice because we do not have senses or sense are not developed. So, next time when someone tells you that he or she can communicate with spirits do not think it is impossible. Maybe she or he can really do that.

I've heard the hum. It definitely feels alot different than tinitus

So the German Numbers Station is so iconic it has spawned a lot of Horror myths in fiction inspired by it. There is an SCP that uses it for inspiration and also there was a part in one of the Sinister movies that explained the demon used a radio station that sounded like a numbers station to possess new children. Also just since you mentioned the Windsor Ontario Hum mass report: I'm from Windsor and reports of said reports are far more sensationalised then the actual event was. It didn't even make local news as a big story and most of the people reporting it to authorities weren't reporting a mysterious hum so much as checking to make sure there wasn't a major accident at the Salt Mine or Power Plant that are both in the same part of the city where all the reports came in from. They do daily blasting (or used to) in the mine since that part is still active and you can pretty much set your watch to it that is how well scheduled it is to not freak out the locals. If you are sitting in your basement and live in this part of the city you will actually hear the blast make a small burp and might see your light fixtures move a little bit. The reason urban legend hunters sensationalise this report is because Windsor has a history of people in that area of the city also occasionally reporting a low dull roaring hum they say they can hear all the time (but there are only a handful of these reports and they mostly come from the lower income people living in the area that tend to have other untreated mental and physical health problems) and also live in a section of the city that is again right near both Windsor's industrial zone and across from Detroit's industrial zone where there are factories, trains, and barges making noise 24/7 in that part of the city. Living in West Windsor/Lasalle and complaining about a strange humming you can't figure out the source of would be like living in Devonshire Heights (another part of Windsor) and complaining about these loud metal birds that keep flying over your house during the day and you can't figure out what they are or where they are coming from... but Devonshire Heights is located just on the edge of the denser parts of the city and beyond that is the airport. The "hum" is just a fact of life if you are in the "right" part of West Windsor and East Lasalle close enough to the river and with the wind carrying all the industrial noise your way, the people that hear it all the time are just more sensitive the frequency the hum rings so they hear it clearer than other people. University of Windsor is actually just near that area and until just recently a lot of the students coming from abroad would find cheap student housing in neighbourhoods where the hum was reported and unless they were told about so they knew to listen for it or had really good hearing; almost none of them would report it. It was always locals and not the most balanced or credible locals that would report it as some kind of mystery or injustice they thought could be a conspiracy, the rest of us just knew it was all the factories, massive industry, and flow of industrial traffic. Reports of the hum only start when the area started to become a Manufacturing hub and have started to subside as Manufacturing in Canada in the USA becomes less and less viable and the factories shut down.

Weird how anytime something strange happens to civilians it’s always blamed on mass hallucinations, yet when it’s government officials it’s always the worst thing possible.

I used to listen to short wave as a child back in the 60's on the family valve radio. I was always fascinated by them

I have had tinatus for about 3 years now and it's only on my left side, it's always there and is always high pitched but can at time get louder and to me I know it's inside me and not coming from another location, you can tell the difference between internal noise and external noise.

I've encountered a numbers station in the late-1970s. It was on the extreme low end of the AM dial - this was an ordinary AM radio receiver. It was in English with a British accent. I didn't burn my radio down.

I think the Windsor cases of the hum were attributed to Zug Island, an industrial site on the outskirts of Detroit and right across the river from Windsor. Zug Island was one of only a few places in the US to produce coke for steel production, and reports of the hum stopped after Zug Island ceased operation in 2020.

The "Windsor hum" was solved. when I steel mill in Michigan shut down the noise stopped

I used to hear The Hum at a house I lived in that was several miles outside the city limits. I would only hear it indoors, as even the wind blowing and insects chirping outside was enough to make it inaudible as soon as I opened a window or stepped outside. It actually happened quite often, but then it eventually stopped, and I haven't experienced it at all since I moved away.

I like how he explains most of these unexplained phenomena.

In my region (Deutschlandsberg, Austria) there have been discussions lately of many people noticing a certain low frequency hum. I don´t know if there is english material online but it is worth looking into that! Many people are effected yet no source could have been identified...

I live in Windsor, and I was one of those many thousands of people that reported the extremely loud and annoying hum in 2011... by 2016, it had finally ended (after getting nationwide coverage on the syndicated newsmagazine Inside Edition in 2015)... the Ontario Ministry of the Environment placed sensors and microphones of all sorts (from infrasound to ultrasound and everything in between) all over the city to try to determine where it came from, and since the noise was loudest on the west side of the city, closest to the American foundries on Zug Island, we focused on there... and we later found out from the Michigan Department of the Environment that US Steel had installed a new blast furnace that had a different shape from the one it replaced and that caused very audible roaring at the site, and that most of the noise was directed over Windsor. Quite obviously, the city and province were *not* amused, and after much bickering back and forth between Michigan and Ontario, Michigan agreed to tell US Steel to put a sound-dampening system on the furnace, which they did, and that seems to have silenced the hum here. No more sleepless nights for me! :P
