Initial reports of an inexplicable humming noise started trickling through
during the fifties; an annoying, low-frequency humming sound that was
reportedly heard more indoors, heard more during the night and
frequently heard in smaller cities or rural areas.
Since then there have been numerous reports of the “Hum” across the
world and to this day, scientists have not been able to completely
explain the cause or the source of this enduring mystery. Bristol
(England) was probably the first place to officially report and complain
about the hum and supposedly more than 800 people made complaints to
local authorities.
SOME FACTS
The “Hummers”: or people
who can hear the hum, are
about 2% to 11% of the
population (more between the
ages of 55 and 70) in the “hum
zones” according to a study in
2003, by acoustical consultant
Geoff Leventhall. The
“Hummers” have often
complained about of headaches,
nausea, dizziness, nosebleeds
and sleep disturbances.
The “Hum” areas: There
have been only a handful of
scientific studies and
documentation about this
mystery and the World Hum
Database and mapping project
was established recently in 2012
