Couple claim mysterious noise plagues their house

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Bob and Leona Ehrfurth say the noise that's been plaguing them for two years sounds something like a rumbling motor, with a subtle vibration that won't quit. Then it stops — especially when they try to show city officials or acoustic experts what they're hearing.

Not sure what to make of this, so I decided to let my fellow ATSrs have a crack at it.
Iseem to recall this sort of thing happening years ago to an entire town.
Is this H.A.A.R.P.? What could be the logical explination for this
Low frequency vibration

Come on guys, help a brother out.
What is this thing?
There has to be someone willing to give me peace of mind.

Would one of these cause the vibrations? Ye olde underground tunneling machine.

Just throwing that out there. Ya never know.

I emailed the local newspaper that carried the story and told them to find a local geologist. The follow-up on this should be interesting.

I have something similar at my house. I can only hear it when I put my earplugs in. It is a very low hum. I can't explain it and since I am the only one who sleeps with earplugs, I am the only one that can hear it.

It is odd.

With all of the talk about haarp and E.L.F.
it makes me wonder.Also, is it a coincidence that whenever these people
have someone out to investigate the noises stop?
Is it like taking your car to the mechanic or something more sinister?

Nah. No harps or elves responsible.

Just one of these:


...a really, really, really big one. Living under the house.

This animal is known by a very peculiar noise which it makes when beneath the ground. A person, the first time he hears it, is much surprised, for it is not easy to tell whence it comes, nor is it possible to guess what kind of creature utters it... Whe the animal is abundant, it may be heard at all times of the day, and sometimes directly within one's feet.

I'm going with Taos Hum.

It is usually heard only in quiet environments, and is often described as sounding like a distant diesel engine. Since it has proven indetectable by microphones or VLF antennae, its source and nature is still a mystery.

Check this:

They have some recordings of the hum files you can listen too and do check out the link Hearing Tesla Coils Radiation:

The offending energy sources turned out to be tabletop vacuum-tube tesla
coils, as well as a large tesla coil "plasma sphere" and a plasma tube art
object from artist Bill Parker called "Quite Lightning;" a device driven
by a HF linear amateur radio amplifier (it put out several hundred watts
at around 3Mhz or so, if I recall correctly.)

All of these devices are silent, yet she could not tolerate the "noise" of
being anywhere near them. For example, she had to stay about 15ft away
from a tabletop vacuum tube tesla coil in order to avoid pain in her head.

Alright,that's some scary $hit. SO is there anyway for an amature to build one.
How awsome would it be to fight fire with fire? Talk about the ultimate weapon. Silent, undetectable, untraceable!!! Lets lock and load.
From what I understand this is made from equipment that can be bought at your local Radioshack.
