I live in Hauroko Valley, Southland, New Zealand. I've been here for about five years (-ish, some of that time I've been in boarding school elsewhere) and occasionally I could hear a gentle distant rumbling while at home.

But lately I've had disrupted sleep because of a hum that won't go away.

I hunted around and found that I was experiencing a phenomena called "
The Hum" (and sometimes less commonly, "The Taos Hum". Here in New Zealand, Massey University (Auckland) are researching the "Auckland North Shore Hum" and have actually been able to record the hum, previously thought to have been un-recordable.

An approx 3 min MP3 (stereo) of the Hum in Glenfield.

I've looked at the hypotheses on the cause of this hum and have come up with my own. I call it 'The Snake Ear Hypothesis'.

The Hum is only heard by a small part of the population.
The Hum in only reported in certain areas.
The Hum is not hindered by ear plugs or sound proofing.

These three things make me think that the [real] Hum is caused by flows in the mantle which in turn send low frequency 'streaming' sounds through the ground. The vibrations are conducted through our bones, and hence, to the inner ear. If this is the case, then the vibrations do not travel through the air like 'true' sound, which explains the difficulty there has been to record the hum by conventional means.

Hawaii has had a long history of The Hum which have been linked to the volcanism of the island. This is conveniently a parallel of New Zealand, it's volcanism and it's hums.

So, to the point of this thread.

Firstly, have you guys experienced "The Hum"? (lol sounds like a crappy horror film)

And secondly, what do you think of my hypothesis.

Hi Good Wolf. I'm in the southeastern part of U.S. and I hear the hum all the time lately. The dogs all in the area really go crazy at night. My dog is freaked out at night over it so I guess dogs can hear it louder than us? I think it has something to do with the "strange things in the sky, not satellites but aren't stars either. We have several in the sky at night flashing and beaming (?) some kind of rays or fumes across the sky to each other. I have no idea who, what or why these things are there at night. Wish I did!

Well yea I guess. But I'm still hearing something that is apparently origin-less.

On a side note, if you think that sounds creepy you should look up the sounds of Jupiter on youtube. Now that is creepy!

You got some links? I'd be keen to read up on this DARPA and HAARP things you see. I haven't seen anything odd in my sky.

But here's something you should try to differentiate what you're hearing and the hum I'm hearing. Put some ear plugs in and see if it changes or gets rid of the sound. If the sound goes away then your sound is not the Hum, but something else.

That's the norm. I can only hear it at night when the wind dies and all the farm animals stop making noises.

But I'm really glad that you mentioned the vibrations because I think I feel them too, but they were too faint for me to be sure that they weren't just my imagination. The vibrations play into my Snake Ear Hypothesis quite neatly aswell.

You should get them on tape. Upload them on ATS so I can see.

Yea, do that. In this world to day, a camcorder is one of the most powerful weapons.

Surely, if only a small part of the population can hear it, then the majority of us could not hear the recording?

It is amplified. Like talking louder for someone hard of hearing.
