The "Hum"

[Skybird]

Is anyone here affected by this strange, mysterious phenomenon?

The so-called Hum, in German "Brummtonphänomen", is known since decades, maybe even centuries already, and the only thing that is known for sure is that we know nothing for sure.

It is a low humming sound that is heared by approximatley 2% of the population. There seems to be changing sensibility over a person's life, with a climax in the years between 50 and 70, and twice as many women than men seem to be affected.

The Hum is typically heard by night, often one can note quite clearly when it is "switched on", and off again.

It is not even clear whether the Hum represents just one or several different kind of phenomenons. One thing is clear, however: it is no tinnitus, we are not talking about a nervous illness or suffering of the nerves. Tinnitus patients locate the subjective soundsource inside their ears or skull, whereas the Hum is described as being located clearly in the outside environment, though a direction is almost impossible to be given.

The walls of buildings and rooms can serve as amplifying the volume at which the hum is to be heard. It often gets described or referred to as a distant Diesel running, construction machines at far distance, or a water pump running, or the sound that badly isolated tubes of teleheating system can create. If it is hard, it is coming from everywhere, and it is everywhere.

Theories are many, from tectonic acitvities of continental plates, to waves hitting the rocks on a distant shore, electromagnetic fields around powerplants and gridlines, and cosmic radiation. The ELF communication system of the US navy to radio its submarines around the globe is loved to get quoted by certain guys. The latest I read was about gravitational waves :D . The most absurd theory said it are aliens telling us they come for dinner - with us being their meal. Microwave-cooking over a distance, so to speak.

It can be technology-caused, but reports on people hearing a strange humming sound date back centuries already. In Britain it became known since the 50s, in America it was examined in depth in New Mexico in the town of Taos in the be late 80s (thus the phenomeneon often gets called as The Taos Hum), and since some years there even are live recordings of the sound in the air. This is critical, since there are as many explanations for accoustic wave sources as there are theories for electromagnetic wave sources. We know that some people can "hear'" the Aurora Borealis, some people can hear the entrance of meteors into the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere , both phenomenons produce immense quantums of electromagnetic energy that the human body may fetch up like an antenna would do - maybe with the nervous system or parts of the brain, both functioning bioelectrical, or with the skin. Accoustic waves can be received also by the bones of the human body, and the skin.

In the early sixties, a scientist at the Cornell university in New York demonstrated that people who since their birth had no aural nerves, could get accoucstic perceptions by exposing their brain to (harmless) electromagnetic waves. It got described as a cracking, chaotic rumbling sound. While maintainign the exposition, the perception could be interrupted when putting a plaster with I think metallic fibres on their foreheads, so that the exposition of the brain was reduced or completly blocked.

Some people claim they can listen to radars operating in certain low frequency ranges.

Halucinations maybe?

I remember the old story told me by an МЧС officer (they are firefighters/emergency responders).

A man asked them to check out a person who lives in the appartment above him, as he was allegedly irradiating him, being the jew-free mason conspirator he is.
So the officer comes up to his appartments and sees tin foil everywhere. He then checks out the appartment above and sees microwaves on the floor irradiating the appartment below. So he asks, why does the man living in the appartment above irradiate the man living in the appartment below. As it turns out he was doing it because he believed that he would get rid of that nibiru-reptiloid conspirator who lives below.

[Skybird]

Why do I write about this? Simple. I am affected by this since ealy March. And it kills my sleep and makes it very difficult to find sleep without help.

The sound I hear, so far I compared to this recording from Zurich some years ago. The frequency range matches, but the soudn quality of what i hear, was different, nverheless a comaprison and refernce to me seemd to be legitimate. Listhe tot his with headohones, it is important, they give you a better representation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FMkbAqQE7c

Today I foud the laboratiory sound arhcive by Sony, and I was stunned to finaly, meet my enbemy ear to ear at closest possible distance, so to speak. What I hear every night, and often during the day, is exactly sounding like this, it is as if the sound has been taken right out of my ears.:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdi0jQtMqV8

Exactly 100Hz. That makes you think: electricity, power gridlines and so on.

And sometimes, when the humming sound is not present, there seems to be a seocnd, underlaying sound, extrenely difficult to ntoice, very silent, and very ver ylow in frequenzy, in german I think of it as "Rumpenln", a rumbling, chaotic sound, it sound like what yiou may hear in this recording, in the range at 28-35 Hz.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqfPx8peqNI

When I abruptly turn my head, the humming sound is delayed, I mean for a split of a seocnd I do not hear it, and then it is back again. It is as if it needs to catch up with the ears new position.

The sound is both inside and outside the house. it is "covering the whole city region" that I exained in dispair two weeks AGO - at 4 a.m. in the morning. I visited all known costrucitons ites to see if they had Diesel runnign to supply light for nihtly construction works, or water pumps to keep the groudnw ater away. All these sites were silent.

When I run, the sound again needs to catch up. When I walk in the flat, or tun in palce, again astrange delay as if the soundwaves need to catch up with my moving ears.

Last week I was for testing with an ear dictor, and he went into the lab and tested my ears. He said my ears are perfect, only once every cupe fo years he meets somebody with as sharp ears, he said. When I was young, I could hear at last some of the sounds that baits make to navigate, and the shrill sounds by which they stun their orey sometimes send needles int my ears. I mean I have extrenely good ears, still, at the age of 50, and there were no signs whatever of a Tinnitus.

Tonight was a great discovery for me. So far I spend every night with playing a CD with white noise in endless loops: rain, wind in fields, water ticklugs away<, train on ails, stuff lie that. It got me some relief from the Hum, it offered my brain an lterntaive anchor to focus on, beside the humming sound, and I tuned it loud enough that it somewhat drowned the hum a bit.Yeserday I made a new CD, and used it, the sund is this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFBjfzsOtx0

And it works wonders. The Hum gets completely neutrlaised by it.Not drowned, but nuetrlaised - it is completely "switched off", even at a very low volume setting already, much lower than the white noise I played in the nights before. If you compare this to the recordngs above, you note that they all are in the same frequency range. I think the spoaceship ambience sound indeed neutrlaises the waves of the sound, comoarable to how electrnci ear gdgets do it and then get called acive ear protection. There seems to be some kind of an inteference between both sounds waves.

Maybe this is helpful for somebody reading this and who happen to hear the same damn thing like I do.

If somebody knows additional helpful advise, I would be thankful to learn about it.

And if you do not know what all the tlakign is about and wonder - be thnakful that you are part of the happy majority not being affected. The Hum really can kill your nerves.

And anothe rquestion i have. Does someboy know about the power distrubution procedures of electric ralways? I live 200m beside a track, it has four tracks which all are electric, obviously. i wonder whether the rail companies always have all the grid and all the tracks unde rpwer, or switch electricty on and off accrding to demand on the given track. I have noticed in the first weeks that there was kind of a timetable the Hum was following. It appeared between 1 and 3 am (before smmer time switch), and then lasted untl 6-7 am, then cam eback at around 10am and lasted untl maybe 15:00, for the later afternoon, evenbing and first half of the night it as silent, and then it began from start again. This week however, it starts around 2 am, then lasts until early afternoon with non-systematic interruption over the morning, late afternoon and evening it is silent, and at 2am plus/minus 5 minutes it starts again. At night it is the loudest. I wonder whether somebody pushes buttons, switches someting on and off somewhere.

It is not in the house. Not the water tubes. Not the heating. Not the oven'S waterpumps. No howling wind in emtpy tubes.

[Skybird]

Finally, a note on this phenomenon being caused by modern technology. It can be like this, but it must not be like this. Reports on the hum are globally, and as I said: 2% of people seem to be affected. That includes places in the wild, distant from industry and powerlines, in the lonely mountains. There are whole regional populations in some god-forsaken valleys telling us "Our mountain hums" and that they know it since their early childhood. Electromagnetic symptoms can be caused by technology - but as well could have natural origins. And "blessed" people already in the ancient times of the Greek were reported to be able (I would say they were cursed) to listen to the "sound of the Earth" directly.

In the end, all materially existing things are waves, are vibrating, are sound. The universe is sound. Matter is wave. Nada Brahma.

My father hears it since several years already. I always laughed about it. I do no more. He had his ears checked, they are okay, just old and not as good as earlier. No Tinnitus.

There even was a long essay in the Scientific American, but I failed to find it again so far.

Much more can be found via search engines.

In Germany, the phenomenon is described since the late 90s. A sound recording by the German federal office for emmission control and protection, was successful in the early 00-years near Stuttgart - but it showed an atypical sound of around 8Hz in the area of Stuttgart, origin unknown. Its more the lower of the two sounds I seem to hear, as described above.

Victims suffering from this phenomenon can sometimes be drastically affected. The hum can cause headches, intense neck pain, and nose bleeding. Some people are crying out in relief when meeting the first time ever other victims, since they did not know they were not alone with their personal history, and only met people so far who did not believe them or claimed them to be insane. A couple of suicides has been reported from across Europe. Sometimes, though rarely apparently, the hum is heard so loud that people must yell to communicate.

2% of people around the globe seem to be able to hear it. That translates into millions and millions around the globe.

In Germany, there were several civil organizations founded by citizens trying to establish a descriptive database. They send questionaires and collected the data. After some years all these activites died, due to frustration, the organisers admit. They collected the data, yes: but it did help nothing at all to get closer to a theory or to find answers that could be tested. We still know as much as we knew decades ago: almost nothing.

[ikalugin]

2% of people around the globe seem to be able to hear it. That translates into milliosn and millions around the globe. Or only 2 percent, which can be attributed either to biological or neurological or psycological causes.
If in your case you are positive that the cause is not biological, I would suggest checking the other two.

[Skybird]

Did you consider visiting a doctor specialising in psycology and neurology?
I had a medical exam, as I have reported above, and my ears tested by an expert. And I have been psychologist myself, so I know what you are after. Of course I have considered these kinds of explanations, but I must refuse these kinds of explanations. Hum-sufferers often get dismissed as suffering from some kind of illness or nervous damage or hallucinations. It just is not true. You cannot live-record hallucinations on magnetic tape. But this has been done, check youtube.

I cannot say with all certainty that it is either accoustic wave-transmission via dhte carrier medium of the air, or electromagntic listening. I also cannot say with certainty that the Hum has just one origin or is just one phenomenon, or maybe is a label that must be understod to describe a whole group of different possible manifestations.

Certain i am of this only: no matter whether I hear something accoustically or have the sound created by my brain in interpretation of signal input - the source, the cause of this is not a hallucination, and it is outside of my body, in the environment, may it be near or distant. The white noise of the spaceship ambience indicates that it is indeed an accoustic wavefront hitting my place, because the CD's sound playing interferes with the Hum, while other White Noise sounds - for example rain falling or waves hitting the beach - just get drowned if I set the volume high enough. Its different, and the spaceship sound is very close to the frequency range of 100Hz.

[Skybird]

Or only 2 percent, which can be attributed either to biological or neurological or psycological causes.
If in your case you are positive that the cause is not biological, I would suggest checking the other two.
Again, you cannot record hallucinations on magnetic tape - as a physical sound recording. ;) But such recordings have been done.

My father hears it, too - and on several occasions when I was with my parenbts we noticed the same time, the same second, when the sound went on or off. My mother heards nothing.

People not knowing the Hum often dismiss it as a medical issue of any kind. But they can only do so by ignoring a whole lot of facts that speak against that. Many sufferers from the Hum often have an odyssey through the medical labs and university clinics behind them. Without result. And yes, some of them have a tinnitus - as many as to be found amongst the non-humming population. The vulnerability to schizophrenia, and drug abuse, also seem to be not higher or lower than with the ordinary population. Accoustic hallucinations like this however are very untypical for schizophrenia, btw.

Maybe it is a Russian experiment, an attack by antennas transmitting behaviour-altering wave patterns to unsettle Western populations and raise the level of nervousness in an attempt to increase the chance for civil unrest and so to destabilize Western countries. Such experiments were done by Russians and Americans in the 50s and 60s.
:timeout:

[ikalugin]

Did you ever consider paranoia?

Such experiments were done by Russians and Americans in the 50s and 60s.I told that story about the two crazy men for a reason. But if you want we could study how much energy one would need to create this ambient noise.

p.s. you can create a physics model. I mean you know the frequency range, human aural theshhold and the area/time coverage so you can calculate sonic wave energy in that noise.

[Skybird]

I did not consider paranoia. I also excluded alien abduction, beer intoxication and too much masturbation having rotten my brain.

Stop it.

[ikalugin]

Thank god I don't drink beer.

I asked about paranoia because you discussed other possible psycological causes.

[Skybird]

Psychological causes do not get aurally recorded on magnetic tape. As long as its not about the subject screaming.

Skip that medical and psychological stuff, the only things that may apply here are

- that humans may develope the sensibility for hearing this sound over ther life, with a climax in the age group 50-70, and then dropping again, meaning that after that that sensibility may decrease again;

- and that some humans can hear "electromagnetically", they can hear the Auroa Borealis and meteors in the ionosphere due to their electromagnetic signature that in any way may interact with the bioelectrically active part of the human body: nervous system, and brain. Some may even be able to "hear" radar, certain bands of it at least. It is not about accoustic but "electromagnetic listening". Accoustic wave travelling plays no role here.

This can lead to indeed the brain forming the idea of an accoustic sound - where there is no accoustic sound, but that idea nevertheless bases on external (electro magnetic) stimulus input. It is not a hallucination therefore, and also does not compare to tinnitus.

But when the hum gets recorded with microphones on tape, then it must be an accoustic phenomenon with waves travelling via the carrier medium of the air, same is true for the circumstance that repeatedly now me and my father noticed at the same time the Hum switching on or off when I was visiting my parents - they live on the other side of the city, 8-9 km in a straight line away.

No tinnitus. No paranoia. No hallucination and no collective hysteria. And my ears sharp and sensible and healthy like that of a lynx.

Personally I think that the hum is a label that must be understood to describe not just one but several possible manifestations of the phenomenon. Maybe it even are different phenomenons, I would not rule that out.

[Buddahaid]

Apparently it's below my laptop frequency response as I heard nothing.

[Skybird]

Apparently it's below my laptop frequency response as I heard nothing.
Thats why I said "headphones". ;)

Or it is your ears.

The hum is 100Hz for sure. Not a too low and difficult-to-hear frequency.

Test ears and hardware with this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNf9nzvnd1k

And, ehem: "headphones". :)

[Sailor Steve]

I can honestly say I've never heard anything like that outside a recorded tone. Of course if only 2% of people hear it then it's not surprising I'm one of the ones who hasn't. That it has been recorded outside in controlled conditions is fascinating. I'm interested in learning more about this.

Side-note: In the ear tests I could hear everything quite clearly from the bottom to the top, but I found the rumble that begins around 25-30 Hz to be an awesome sound. Thanks for posting this.

[Skybird]

That it has been recorded outside in controlled conditions is fascinating. I'm interested in learning more about this.
It is very difficult and thus doe snot get done often. In Germany, such exminatiosn are run by the Bundesanstalt für Emmissionsschutz (federal office for emmission protection), but the measuring and recording is very difficult and costs a lot of money - and most of the time the results are without much value. Often they also simply missed the time window when the hum appears.

Its threatening and somewhat intimdiating if you ride on bicycle through a city like mine at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning, no activty anywhere, everythign peaceful and silent - just this monstrous humming in the air like a threat from outer space, a cloud of sound laying over the city. Not pleasant.

If you are interested in this sound, you may want to google for the study they did in Taos, New Mexico, in I think 1988 or so. "Taos Hum" it is called. There are or have been many Hums: the Bristol Hum, the Zurich Hum and so forth, but that is misleading, since it is a truly global phenomenon.


Side-note: In the ear tests I could hear everything quite clearly from the bottom to the top, but I found the rumble that begins around 25-30 Hz to be an awesome sound. Thanks for posting this.

That low rumbling is very silent, and hard to notice, I often am not even certain that it is there. But on other times I indeed am quite certain that there actually are these TWO sounds for sure: the 100Hz sound thta is loud and clear, and the 25-30Hz sound that only can be heard when anything else is silent. Then it sounds very threatening.

In the ear test I can hear everythign at the bottom end of 20Hz, up to almost 15 KHz, which for my age of 50 years means I still hear far above average and have ears of a below 40 year old.

[Sailor Steve]

I took it again and noted the precise numbers. I first started to hear the rumble at 26 Hz and lost it at 4.8 KHz.

[Skybird]

If you cannot hear 4800 Hz, this probably indicates a serious damage then, for usually, as far as I read, 8000 Hz is the minimum of what healthy old people should hear, even at higher ages above 80. And as far as I kow you still have not hit that age mark, eh?

Having pulled those guitar strings too hard, maybe? My father has been professional musician, too (bassoon), having the brass players blowing right in his neck in all those years (thats the sitting order in a sinfonic orchestra), he has damaged ears now, too.

There are videos at youtube that mark biological age and associated frequencies. When we become older, we all loose the ablity to listen to the high frequencies, we start at around 20 Khz, and it then drops to around 8 KHz at high age. Somebody who can merely hear 12 KHz, is assumed to be below 50 years, 15 KHz represents below 40 years, 16 KHz is typical for ages below 30, 18 KHz equals below 20, 19 KHz is below 15 years. I am 50, but can hear 15 KHz still, so I am doing well in these regards. :) The times when I was even hearing the low frequency calls of bats however are over since long (bats can call and listen in the range of low 20s of KHz up to 200 KHz).

[Skybird]

I visited the Osnabrück area recently, which is 45-50 km north-east of where I live. After 30 km of that trip done, there is the small town of Lengerich at the foot of the 260m elevations of the Teutoburger Forest (south).

The hum in the past 3-4 days, has shifted its activity cycle, the past nights have been silent, but it starts in the mornign and now lasts all day long, until the evening.

When I passed Lengerich, 30km away from my home, the hum dissappeared, and Osnabrück was silent. When i travelled back again, and again passed Lengerich, it appeared again.

Assuming that I did not hit a pause in the hum that just coincided with that travelling mark, It seems that at least at north-eastern direction this sound emitts up to 30 km distance. Mind you, in the past couple of days the hum lasted all day long, from morning to evening.

I wonder whether it could be some satellites using some kind of EM emissions to cartograph earth.

Anyhow, during the day the hum can be dealt with easier than at night. If only it would stay at least as it is now. At least I had some nights of sleep now - without white noise CDs.

[Fubar2Niner]

I just seen this.

I have been having this same experience for around five or six years and thought it was just my ears. Normally it starts in the early hours and wakes me. It's kind of a low hum, hums almost like a vibrating alarm but not quite. Starts and runs for maybe a minute or two, then seconds of silence, then starts again. Rinse and repeat. It sometimes last for just a few minutes, but it has lasted an hour or more on rare occasion.

It is not every night, but ironically it is mostly when you'd least expect noise. Before people would normally rise for work, etc.

I have never recorded it, thinking it's "in my head", not sure I'd even have the know how or equipment.

Best regards.

I live in Nevada, Ohio. Have lived there for about 20 years.
I have heard a weird hum there at nite for as long as I can remember.
I have Tinnitus but the hum is NOT a part of this.
I only hear the hum when I'm home and no one else can hear it.
I travel all over the U.S.A. and don't recall hearing it anywhere else.
I take Excedrin PM's at home just to sleep through the nite because of this hum.
It's also the reason I prefer to travel for my living. Just to get away from it!
:o

[Skybird]

That is not ironic. Environmental everday noises can drown it to some degree. If you googled and read for the matter you will see that many people hear it louder at night than during the day - at night, when the noise of the outside world is at a low.


I have never recorded it, thinking it's "in my head", not sure I'd even have


If it is "electromagnetic hearing", then indeed the brain is "making the noise", in erratic interpretation of the as erratic electrical stimulation of the nerves or affected brain lobes. But generally speaking, one of the biggest differences between tinnitus and the hum is that tinnitus patients locate the subjective origin of the noise they hear as being as something inside their head or ear (in German, the public calls Tinnitus often "the little man in the ear"), where as the hum is described by the vast majority of people to be originating from a source located outside their body, from the environment. Often it is said it sounds like putting your head under water and then hearing a humming sound from from above the water surface - the sound then is outside yourself, but seems to come from everywhere.

Another description often used is "like the propeller of a very high flying drone". People do not want to say by this they b eloieve ther eis a flying drone overhead, they just mean the sound reminds them of this association, like they also compare to distant Diesels or heavy construction machines vibrating through the ground or through some walls, from long distance away (just that there are no Diesels or machines).

Could you use the Hertz videos by Sony at youtube to limit the range of how the sound is for you? As I said, for me it is exactly 100Hz. And it lasts for hours and hours, the first weeks at night, but since a few days mainly at day.

:o
If it is the phenomenen they call the hum, then it indeed most likely is no tinnitus, no disease, nothing like that, but maybe a dedicated sensitivity of the brain or nerves.

Quick research on Excedrin says that it is used against headaches and migraine. Do you suffer from these? Some hum victims say they sometimes hear that lower, rumbling sound at around 20-30Hz, and then it causes them a drilling, pinching pain - or nose bleeding.

Have you tried like I did, white noise? And especially that one sound file I introduced on page 1? For me it worked wonders, it completely neutralised the hum of 100 Hz. The other white noise variations (rain, waves, wind), just drowned it to a certain degree, I found a balance where the volume was okay to sleep with, but the brain was not just fixiated ion thge humming. Actually, I liked it. But that spaceship ambience sound for me worked wonders. Last night I did not even use that one, since the hum currently is not to be heard at night, but over the day.

There are reports of people who need to travel 100s of km to escape the sound, while others take it with them where-ever they go. It seems I am affected by a localised source of the sound, to, as I described with my travel to Lengerich and Osnabrück. 30-35km north-east from where I live, the hum is gone. When I reversed direction from there, it came back.

Most people cannot hear it. Sensibility for it may build up with growing age, and then drop again with even higher age.

In some of the texts I linked earlier, there are many links in the text themselves to even further essays, articles, sites.

[Jeff-Groves]

I rarely have head aches. I only us the PM version as it helps sleep.
And I only take them at home now and then.
I don't do any type drugs aside from the PMs and only drink a few beers now days.

I gave up trying to figure out the Hum a long time ago.
I know it's there and I can feel it as well as hear it. The Wife does not detect it in anyway.

I think it's those secret underground tunnels the Government has.
:haha:

If you can ignore it or live with it, then you are lucky. Many cannot. Good for ya! :salute:

It still bothers me just knowing I can hear and feel it and no one else can.
I had a dog and she could hear it also. My other Dog didn't seem to notice and none of our cats seem to notice it.

I kind of set my mind at rest thinking it was the low frequency thing for Submarines. And being close to the Great Lakes maybe underground rivers carried this sound to me.

HAARP and USN-ELF often get mentioned as possible explanations, but I have so far found nothing that could make me assume this is more than conspiration theory only. Even more so since many of those people listing these two explanations are not shy at all to also list quite esoteric, surreal theories as well. HAARP and ELF cannot ultimately be ruled out, but somehow both theories just do not flip that switch in my brain to make me a believer.

[Skybird]

We sometimes notice that animals become nervous or swarms of birds fly up suddenly, hours, even days before a volcanic erruption, an earthquake, or a flooding event takes place. Of birds we know now that they can navigate by the magnetic field of the Earth, and that this is inheritable.

I wonder what kinds of hums these anmials maybe can hear, or what sensory input they perceive that we cannot imagine. Maybe us few hummers amongst the humans have just touched the tip of an iceberg, and we do not even know it.

[Jeff-Groves]

I've taken comfort with my "hum" in my own way.
It's come to be my special thing when I get home from weeks or months away.
There are times when I get home and it's not there and I almost feel as if I'm not home.

Most times when I hear it? I repeat in my mind "It's time to visit the plains".
For some reason I have very vivid dreams after falling asleep VERY quickly then.

I've never talked about this before to anyone.

For some reason I have very vivid dreams after falling asleep VERY quickly then.

I've never talked about this before to anyone.
Most hummers simply do not know that there are others like themselves. I read that some people are so desperate that the first time they learn others hear it too they burst in tears, in relief, some have a long journey behgind them, from doctor to doctor, from specilaist to specialist, and most if not all not believing them. Hummers still get often seen as people with psychic problems, tinnitus or some other health issues. My father hears it since years - I did not believe him, too. Until one month ago. And my mother - does not know what to think of it, she cannot hear it. But she now has two hummers in her family, not just one.

Myself, I hope that it goes away again. For some people, it is a thing of days only. For others, a thing of months, and then there are those for whom it lasts for years. Maybe I belong to the lucky ones.

You are glad that you can manage it sufficiently.

[Fubar2Niner]

That is not ironic. Environmental everday noises can drown it to some degree. If you googled and read for the matter you will see that many people hear it louder at night than during the day - at night, when the noise of the outside world is at a low.


If it is "electromagnetic hearing", then indeed the brain is "making the noise", in erratic interpretation of the as erratic electrical stimulation of the nerves or affected brain lobes. But generally speaking, one of the biggest differences between tinnitus and the hum is that tinnitus patients locate the subjective origin of the noise they hear as being as something inside their head or ear (in German, the public calls Tinnitus often "the little man in the ear"), where as the hum is described by the vast majority of people to be originating from a source located outside their body, from the environment. Often it is said it sounds like putting your head under water and then hearing a humming sound from from above the water surface - the sound then is outside yourself, but seems to come from everywhere.

Another description often used is "like the propeller of a very high flying drone". People do not want to say by this they b eloieve ther eis a flying drone overhead, they just mean the sound reminds them of this association, like they also compare to distant Diesels or heavy construction machines vibrating through the ground or through some walls, from long distance away (just that there are no Diesels or machines).

Could you use the Hertz videos by Sony at youtube to limit the range of how the sound is for you? As I said, for me it is exactly 100Hz. And it lasts for hours and hours, the first weeks at night, but since a few days mainly at day.

I do suffer from Tinnitus, however this is not what I would call the hum. My tinnitus is like a whooshing noise sometimes accompanied with a ringing. The hum I hear is definately not within my head, it is neither of the sounds I have described. I live in a comparatively quiet area. No heavy vehicles, machinery or such. I cannot explain this, and do not proffess to even understand it. This has been an ongoing thing as I said for some years. I will look into your youtube examples, not sure if my range will be good tho. Occupational partial deafness I'm afraid.

Best regards.

As I said earlier, indeed the hum is not tinnitus, although it can coincide in a person, which seems to be the case with you. Most hummers however have no tinnitus, tinnitus seems to be not more present amongst others than amongst the not-humming population.

What it in the end is, this humming, nobody knows. All we have is a guessing game, sometimes with more and sometimes with less reasonable guesses.

[Julhelm]

I hear the hum intermittently, but more often the lower 25hz rumble. I always assumed it has to do with mutual interference and perhaps local sound convergence. Buildings do bounce and funnel soundwaves to a noticeable degree - I live near an airfield and often you will pick up the sound of an aircraft from a completely different direction than he's coming from. And at some places in town, lawnmowers on the other side of town can be heard as if they were next door.

[Skybird]

Yes, this is also often considered to be a cause, but it is unproven in most cases that were examined, it seems. The interference caused by house walls is noticed by some, while others deny it. Means: some people report they notice a variation in volume depending on how close to a wall they are, or how far upstairs, while others say changing their position in the house or room changes nothing in volume. Higher floors in a house seem to be more prone to "fetch" up the hum.

When I hear it, the volujme does not chnage no matter where in the room or house I am (this is three floors plus roof area and underground basement, five levels all in all) - it also is exactly the same sound volume when I leave the house and even go kilometers away. Only the ammount by which of the hum gets washed out by other environmetal sounds varies. Thats why it is the loudest at night, when everything else is silent. I think it has not changed volume then, only appears to be louder due to other noise not being present.

In general, note that the available material on the hum is limited, and inconsistent. It gets almost no academical interest.

[Reece]

During WW2 many concrete bunkers, tunnels etc were constructed, at the end of the war the Nazi's went underground, that is why no one ever found Hitlers body. The noise is power generators running deep below the surface, when it is time they will emerge and the 4th Reich will begin.:yep:

Compare to what I wrote four years ago in the very first posting here:

It can be technology-caused, but reports on people hearing a strange humming sound date back centuries already. In Britain it became known since the 50s, in America it was examined in depth in New Mexico in the town of Taos in the be late 80s (thus the phenomeneon often gets called as The Taos Hum), and since some years there even are live recordings of the sound in the air. This is critical, since there are as many explanations for accoustic wave sources as there are theories for electromagnetic wave sources. We know that some people can "hear'" the Aurora Borealis, some people can hear the entrance of meteors into the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere , both phenomenons produce immense quantums of electromagnetic energy that the human body may fetch up like an antenna would do - maybe with the nervous system or parts of the brain, both functioning bioelectrical, or with the skin. Accoustic waves can be received also by the bones of the human body, and the skin.

In the early sixties, a scientist at the Cornell university in New York demonstrated that people who since their birth had no aural nerves, could get accoucstic perceptions by exposing their brain to (harmless) electromagnetic waves. It got described as a cracking, chaotic rumbling sound. While maintainign the exposition, the perception could be interrupted when putting a plaster with I think metallic fibres on their foreheads, so that the exposition of the brain was reduced or completly blocked.



My own problem with the Hum has meanwhile ended once. I lied awake in bed, then raised early, and all of a sudden just within the hum, it was gone from one split second to the next, as if a switch had been flipped.

I know a man in my neighbourhood, who also heard it, mand my father. They too didnot hear it since that time.

However, it had gone on again last autumn, and then suddenly died off again in early spring this year. Same for my father.

I had always the idea that somehow our hightech and electrical environment has something to do with it.

Private attempts to clear this up, all faltered, the authorities refused to assist in any ways, the state governments that were adressed , actively hindred all such attempts where they could. AFAIK, in Germany all private organisations that formed up and tried to track it nation-wide, meanwhile have given up and switched off in frustration. Nobody knows, nobody talks about it, all and everybody ignore it as best as they can.

Scenarios I can imagine many, but necessarily they all are speculative.

[Sean C]

I do sometimes hear a hum, very much like the 100 Hz tone on page 1. However, I live near some train tracks, and I thought it was probably a locomotive idling nearby. The sound is relatively quiet, but it does seem to be louder inside my house than out. I find it annoying ... distracting even, but not unbearable. And I don't think it has caused me any ill health effects. I haven't noticed a correlation with my migraines.

The sound sometimes varies in intensity, and sometimes seems to briefly fade out and then back in. It is always relatively low volume, but being a low frequency it can still be audible with moderate background noise. (Think: semi-distant car stereo with big sub woofers.) As with all low frequency sounds, it seems impossible to determine the direction from which it is coming.

My wife does not seem to notice it at all. She does have hearing loss due to tinnitus, though. She got hearing aids a little while back, but I have not had a chance to see if she hears it while wearing them. I played in a rock band for many years, and I also have tinnitus. But I think it is a mild case, because I am able to "tune it out" if I have any way of distracting myself. IOW, I only really notice it if I pay attention to it. Otherwise, my hearing is excellent.

Seems to me that there are times, perhaps periods of a couple months, when I will hear the sound more frequently. Other times I go so long without hearing it that I almost forget about it. Right now it is the latter. If I start hearing it again, I'll let you know. It would be interesting to me to see if it occurs at the same time in vastly different locations.


EDIT: Apparently I can hear frequencies in a range of about 20 Hz to 14,500 Hz.

[em2nought]

I think the Hun I hear is Panzerlied. :D

[Skybird]

Its back and in strength this time, since some weeks I hear it very intensely, mostly in the time between midnight and early morning around 5:00. I think strongly now that it has something to do with the general electrical powergrid infrastructure, that it is no accoustic but electromagnetic hearing, means the perception of hearing someting is triggered in the brain due to some influence from outside, namely electromagnetic waves that affect areas of the brain and cause the perception of accoustic sound. Maybe it is linked to chnages in the power level in the gridlines at different timers of the day. I woudl expext the load to be lower between 00:00 and 5:00 than it is over the daylight period and early evening.

Its so intense at night currently that I need white noise genrators to get some sleep. Its very annoying. And it is no tinnitus for sure.

Perplexing is that it is all of a sudden on, and all of a sudden off, and that the times this occurs, are surprisingly stable and very much the same times every night. Definitely no natural randomness in it, it must have an artificial origin. Also, the sound fills the space veerywhere, and is the same whereever I am, hiogh or low, at home or ten kioeometers away. Its everywhere, does not vary in volume , and is totally unspecific regarding "direction". Its omnipresent.

Most people I have asked, do not hear it. My father again does hear it. People seem to be differently sensible to it. He says however that while it is back, for him it is weaker then in past years. But then I am 54, he is 78. It was described by others that there seems to be a raised vulnerability that may be due to age-related physical changes in the body at the age from 50 to 70, if true my father is on his way out of it, and I am on my way in, so to speak.

Very annoying. White noise helps to "flood and flush it". Noice-cancelling headphones have zero effect, do not block it. Another hint that it is no accousting noice.

The study found that pulsed electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radiofrequency range, "plausibly explains" the core characteristics, although it says that there remain gaps in the information.

It says that non-standard antennas could create the effects on the human body. Such a source could be concealed and require only moderate power. It could also travel through the air and through walls of buildings.

Probably microwaves. Probably Russia.


Why they would attack in this way? The video gives an explanation. Many diplomats and CIA workers in recent years have refused getting stationed in oversea posts due to concerns of getting affected by health issues if getting exposed ot this phenomenon. Russia cannot care enough so to cry about this.



Cyber attacks. Assassinations carried out in in other countries. Meddlign with foreign elecitons. Infiltrating the potlical deicison making processes of foreign governments. Microwaving. Each of these actions in my rule book is a hostile aggressive act, and in principle an act of war of war. Russia wages the third world war against the West since many, many years already. While we slept - and to a big part still sleep.

[Skybird]

Thats what I heard, for months and months.

My father too. My mum not. When I passed a certain point between Münster and Osnabrück, roughly aroudn the area of Lengerich - it switched on and off as if I were flipping a switch. No matter whether I was on a traion, on bike, or stoof in the forest.

I heard it again for two weeks some months ago, but not in bertween, and not again since then.

It remains to be the weirdest thing I have ever met in my life.


The video does not find/give a final explanation, none I would accept. But the author tries a fair approach.

I've been getting the humm for many years now.

Sounds like an industrial fan, diesel generator, or sometimes a cement mixer outside...... droning on and on.

Can't hear it all the time, but have noted on several instances it reaches an almost intolerable high just before an earthquake, then goes completely silent.

Fortunately, quakes are a rarity down here.

[BetaWilhelm]

This may not be related to the sound you're hearing but back in 2007 me and my dad were sitting in the back yard late one night around a fire and heard a very strange sound coming from the sky. I remember even the animals seemed affected by it. Leading up to the sound we could hear dogs and coyotes for miles barking and howling and then this screeching almost machine like sound. Dad and I both turned our heads skyward, instictivley trying to locate the source of the sound. It only lasted for 10 or 15 seconds but there was the most creepy silence after it stopped.
We both looked at each other but didn't say much other than "what the hell was that?" We packed up and went inside a few minutes after and didn't speak of it much in the years to follow. I havnt heard anything like it since but my Dad told me that he heard it again a few years later.

Now I don't know if this is a hoax or not but this video is the closest thing I can find to compare it to.

The Hum, I stick to my early assumptions that "electromagnetic hearing", a direct stimulation of the accoustic centre in the brain, has something to do with it. The brain reacts to electromagnetic input, it works electrical, and if you stimulate according brain areas, you can create an accoustic perception without accoustic soundwaves being involved. I remind of my attempts years ago to describe the strange direction thing of the sound I heard, that when I turned the head, the sound followed to then come from the same subjectively perceived direction again, the direction corrected itself with every head movement to stay in same relative bearing - but with a delay of not more than second maybe. While at the same time being omnipresent and omnidirectional, and being perceivable always at the same volume no matter any environmental noise levels - you could not drown the hum by white sound or loud music or anything. It always is above everythgin else - but always staying at the same volume itself. Its hard to explain, maybe one cannot understand it at all if one has never heard it oneself. Very, very weired. I agree, the descritoion I gove seems to make no sense. And yet it is true in the meaning of that I describe it as correctly as I can.



Maybe imagine airraid sirenes in town, though much, much more silent. The sound they make seems to be everywhere, the hoover in the air, like a layer that puts itself over your reality, a giant blanket covering the world. And yet, one siren near to you you may be able to sort out and give it a direction where it sounds from - while at the same time the overall sirens sound still is from all directions around. Now imagine you turn your head by 90°. You would expect the single sirent chnages the relative direciton to you, that you hear the change in direction. But imagine that instead with a delay of a second or less the siren relocated so that it is at the same relative bearing to you again. Imagine you shake your head, and the sirens follows with its relocations, always with the same delay, no matter the speed of your headshaking.



Now imagine you are in my town and enter the train in the central station, you drive to Osnabrück, that is around 40km in a straight line, notheast from here. The noise of the train, and the centrla station. The city. The traffic. People. Loudspeakers. The hum/siren(s) persists, not louder, not more silent, always staying the same. You ride in the train, and halfway between arrival and destination there is a chain of hills form west to East, the Wiehengebirge, peaks at I think 270m. There is the town Lengerich, and the railway goes through a tunnel. While you are in the tunnel, the sirens all of a sudden shut down. Silence, form one split seocnd to the next! Surprise!


No sirens sound in Osnabrück, and north of Lengerich. Everything normal, as you are used to how it should be.


Later the day you board the train in the opposite direction. No sirens. Then the passage through the tunnel, and when you pop your nose out of it in Lengerich, somebody flips the switch and all of a sudden the sirens are back, the omnipresent sound as well as the directional single one.



The volume is always the same, no matter where you are.



You may understand then why I am so perplexed and confused, irritated and fascinated, and sometimes even was worried a bit.


In the video the author says he thinks there is not just one explanation for the hum, that it might be a combination of several factors. Well, there I disagree a bit. I think that maybe there is not just one hum phenomenon, but that we are talking about different phenomenons maybe, all summarising them - wrongly - under the same label.



If it would have been a brain issue, a tumor or something, I would strongly assume by now I would have felt more threatening consequences from that. Instead: nothing. No, I stick to that electromagnetical hypothesis.

I stay with the theory of electromagnetic hearing, like a very few people were able to "hear" certain military radars during the cold war when their brain was exposed to the radar beam. Certain brain regions linked to accoustic signal processing got directly stimulated electrically by the radar and formed the acoustic perception of "hearing a sound" while the ear received no accoustic air waves at all.

[Oubaas]

Brain wave entrainment. At around 100 Hz, the brain releases beta endorphins. Beta endorphins are part of the body's endogenous opioid system. They're peptides that are 18 to 33 times more powerful than morphine on a per-molar basis.

They make you nice and mellow, and give you a feeling of contentment. You don't care about things that would normally concern you, much like heroin. They're part of the brain's reward system. Anyone who has ever been in a military hospital, pumped full of morphine with more added every two hours can tell you, there's not much that you're terribly worried about.

If you could somehow target the world's population with a constant 100 Hz hum, everybody would be releasing beta endorphins and there would be little chance that they'd muster up enough concern to rebel against authority. You could neuter their kids, make them eat bugs, and take away all their property, and chances are they wouldn't react.

And if you beamed it at them from satellites, they'd have a hard time discerning where it was coming from. Yeah, they'd all be nice and compliant. Then you could pummel their beta endorphin-drenched minds with complete BS through media outlets, and they'd swallow it all, hook, line, and sinker.

But who would want to do something like that? Surely there's no one here on Earth that sick, malevolent, and purely evil? :haha:

Until I was about seven or so I could see auras around living things. people, animals, trees you name it.

I also have a few memories particularly those of my mom. Threw them for a loop when I first spoke of them because I wasn’t even born yet. Silly things like that.

I can also read minds and sense when big events will happen too. Not always though, I got be in a pretty peaceful state of mind to read what going in someone else’s grey matter.
