From Wiki
The Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise not audible to all people. Hums have been widely reported by national media in the UK[1] and the United States.[2] The Hum is sometimes prefixed with the name of a locality where the problem has been particularly publicized: e.g., the "Bristol Hum", the "Taos Hum", or the "Bondi Hum".[3]
Data from a Taos Hum study suggests that a minimum of 2% and perhaps as many as 11% of the population could detect the Taos Hum and the Daily Telegraph in 1996 likewise reported a figure of 2% of people hearing the Bristol Hum.[4] For those who can hear the Hum it can be a very disturbing phenomenon and it has been linked to at least 3 suicides in the UK.[5] However, amongst those who can not hear the hum and specialists such as audiologist David Baguely alike, there has been scepticism about whether it in fact exists.[6]
Human ears generate their own noises, called spontaneous otoacoustic emissions, which about 30% of people hear.[citation needed] The people that hear these sounds typically hear a faint buzzing or ringing, especially if they are otherwise in complete silence, but most people don't notice them at all.[29] However, these emissions occur with equal frequency across age groups within the population, and the Hum typically occurs in regional clusters, and rarely within large metropolitan areas.
The World Hum Database and Mapping Project was launched in December, 2012, in order to build detailed mappings of hum locations and to provide a database of Hum-related data for professional and independent researchers.[26]
In a 1998 episode of The X-Files titled "Drive", Agent Mulder speculates that extremely low frequency (ELF) radio waves "may be behind the so-called Taos Hum".[37]
