The Mystery Hum

[lynfowars]

Have you heard 'the Hum'?

By James Alexander
BBC News

For decades, hundreds of people worldwide have been plagued by an elusive buzzing noise known as "the Hum". Some have blamed gas pipes or power lines, others think their ears are faulty. A few even think sinister forces could be at work.

"It's a kind of torture, sometimes you just want to scream," exclaims retired head teacher Katie Jacques.

Sitting in the living room of her home in the suburbs of Leeds, the 69-year-old grandmother describes the dull drone she says is making her life a misery.

Most visitors hear nothing, but to Katie the noise is painful, vivid and constant.

"It has a rhythm to it - it goes up and down. It sounds almost like a diesel car idling in the distance and you want to go and ask somebody to switch the engine off - and you can't."

Katie says she no longer has any quiet moments and getting a good night's sleep has become impossible.

"It's worst at night. It's hard to get off to sleep because I hear this throbbing sound in the background and you know what it's like when you can't get to sleep and you're tossing and turning and you get more and more agitated about it."

Katie first became aware of the maddening rumble two years ago. She turned everything electrical off at the mains, but that made no difference. Neither did her efforts to block out the sound with ear plugs, or smother it with music.

Katie Jacques: 'It's kind of torture'

Neighbours are unaffected and tests by environmental health officials have drawn a blank.

Checks on Katie's ears ruled out tinnitus, a ringing noise that generally follows the sufferer wherever they go.

Katie, like most victims of the hum, only hears the noise at a specific location - in her case, at home. Elsewhere, her hearing is fine.

Moving out is an option she's considered, but she's reluctant to leave the house she's lived in for nearly 50 years.

"My children grew up here, they still live nearby, so do my grandchildren. I have lots of friends here. I don't want to move, but I have thought I may have to if I can't find out what's causing it."

Bad vibrations

The hum is a phenomenon that has been reported in towns and cities across the world from Vancouver in Canada to Auckland in New Zealand.

In Britain, the most famous example was the so-called "Bristol hum" that made headlines in the late 1970s. One newspaper asked readers in the city: "Have you heard the Hum?" Almost 800 people said they had.

The problem persisted for years. Residents complained of sleep loss, headaches, sickness and nosebleeds. Experts eventually found traffic and factories were to blame.

There have been other cases in Cheshire, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, London, Shropshire, Suffolk and Wiltshire.

A low-pitched drone known as the "Largs hum" has troubled the coastal town of Largs in Strathclyde for more than two decades.

People assume you must be hearing things, but I'm not crackers
Katie Jacques, hum sufferer

At least one suicide in the UK has been linked with the hum.

And the problem is on the increase, according to the Low Frequency Noise Sufferers' Association. Two thousand people have so far contacted its helpline, and it says it receives two or three new cases every week. They are generally over 50 and are mostly female.

'Cover-up'

So what is the cause? Various features of modern life have been blamed - gas pipes, power lines, mobile phone masts, wind farms, nuclear waste, even low-frequency submarine communications.

The internet is abuzz with rumour and speculation. There are dark mutterings about secret military activity, alien contact and government cover-ups. The hum even featured in an episode of the sci-fi drama "The X-Files".

Such conspiracy theories are understandable, but unhelpful, according to Dr David Baguley, who's head of audiology at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.

He estimates that in about a third of cases there is some environmental source that can be tracked down and dealt with.

"It may be a fridge or an industrial fan or a piece of heavy machinery at a nearby factory that is causing the disturbance and can be switched off," he says.

Most of the time, however, there is no external noise that can be recorded or identified.

"People do come up with some strongly constructed, sometimes strange theories," says Dr Baguley.

The more people focus on the noise, the more anxious and fearful they get
Dr David Baguley, audiologist

His own theory - based on years of research - is that many sufferers' hearing has become over-sensitive.

Surrounded in his office by plastic models of human ears, he explains how we each have an internal volume control that helps us amplify quiet sounds in times of threat, danger or intense concentration.

"If you're sitting by a table waiting for exam results and the phone rings you jump out of your skin. Waiting for a teenager to come home from a party - the key in the door sounds really loud. Your internal gain is sensitised."

This is a mechanism we all rely on at moments of pressure or stress when we want our senses on full alert.

According to Dr Baguley, the problem comes when an individual fixes on a possibly innocuous background sound, and this act of concentration then triggers the body's "internal gain", boosting the volume.

The initial "signal" may vary from person to person, but the outcome is the same.

"It becomes a vicious cycle," he explains. "The more people focus on the noise, the more anxious and fearful they get, the more the body responds by amplifying the sound, and that causes even more upset and distress."

Sound of silence

In an attempt to break this cycle, Dr Baguley is currently working on a pilot project with the acoustics laboratory at the University of Salford.

The trial - funded by the Department for Environment and the Department of Health - uses psychology and relaxation techniques to help sufferers become less agitated and distressed by the hum.

The experiment is not finished, but Dr Baguley says the initial results look promising, allowing the noise to quieten and in some cases fall silent.

"It's really exciting," he says. "For years I've been seeing people with this problem in my clinic and it's been hard to find answers. But now there is hope and there is potentially help."

Back in Leeds, Katie Jacques is pleased the hum is being taken seriously, but remains adamant that her suffering is caused by a real, external noise nuisance.

She suspects it may be something to do with the nearby airport, although the authorities there say no engines are left running overnight.

"People assume you must be hearing things, but I'm not crackers," she laughs.

"I don't know how I can get this over to people, but this is not in my head. It's just as though there's something in your house and you want to switch if off and you can't. It's there all the time."

In 1996 into '97 I was plagued by a hum at an address in Scotland.

I only heard it in one area of the house - so much for the 'scientists' who say it a person's 'internal' noise.

Sounded to me like someone parked a diesel truck outside the house wall and left the engine on at idle. A really horrible woom..woomm.. noise.

I think it may be currents of earth energy coursing under the ground below, underground earthlights maybe.

'scientists' ? haven't a fcking clue...

[fekdemasons]

Apparently some people are attuned to the Earths resinent frequency.

Cant remember what it is in Hz but I belive the musical note that it corresponds to is F Sharp.

[wise haven]

I heard about this a few years back - The "Bristol Hum" has been around for quite a while.

They are called the Schumann Waves and they are increasing.:D
I'd like to project them on our so called elite, but instead of an F Sharp I'd like to send em a resounding F OFF:D

This is interesting, I heard what is being described here the other night, only for about ten seconds, twice with a short pause. It then became more distant and disappeared.

Dr Baguley, I fear is either too tightly ensconced in his box or is just a diversion. The sound I heard was not from within me and it was so low in frequency, it was more of a feeling of vibration than a discernable frequency. The good doctor seems more pre-occupied in managing the problem than getting to the cause, which, as we know all too well is the main concern of the health companies.

There is an upper and lower limit to human hearing, which is variable, but mainly around 20Hz to 20000Hz, just like there are similar parameters within visible light. Many people's access to these different frequencies vary around the edges, rather like torn paper. e.g. some can hear up to 24000Hz.

It is interesting that most sound recording or measuring devices are not capable of recording ultra low frequencies.

If the sound is at, say, 3Hz and the limit of the measuring device is 20Hz (being the accepted lower limit to the average himan hearing), they might as well use a cheeseburger to measure the sound, it will have the same detection ability. They may pick up dynamic harmonics that are produced by the source, but these will be a lot lower in volume and at a higher frequencies than the source. (the lower ones would agin not be measured.)

I would describe that noise I heard as sub-terranian in origin, very deep. Ultra low frequencies are capable of destruction and harm to human material, as well as other material. I have heard of this technology reportedly being used excavating underground tunnels, but, while I can't prove this, it is very much within the realms of possibility.

Chesterd, you are absolutely correct, could well have been Schumann Waves. I didn't notice any transient luminous events, but then I wasn't really looking for them at the time.

[chesterd]

Cheers Ernie there's a great online doc which you may or may not have seen which explains the science of sound waves.It's called Kymatica (the science of sound) by Ben Stewart the sequel to Esoteric Agenda.Well worth a watch its on Google video and in HD on Youtube.
Peace Chester :)

Oh btw regarding the Hum and 2012. I know there has been a lot of rampant speculation about 2012 and the like but I did read in a number of places that as our solar system passes through the galactic centre point we will encounter a huge band of electromagnetic waves , which are being given off by the black hole at the center.Accoring to an ever increasing number of science dudes this band will have enormous effects on Earth and its inhabitants.Increased headaches,sleep patterns interfered with and a huge effect of animals that navigate by use of the magnetic Schumann waves ie. birds fish ect.
Well worth looking into all the explainations seem pretty logical to me.

Peace

Good post, I have just been listening to that on radio 2.

Where I am in the UK.
We have a VERY high pitched tone which intermittently abates, for brief periods,(2 days most, and the whole atmosphere in the house changes, you would think the Dalai Llama was present in ethereal form projecting peace vibes), otherwise it is constant, relentless & unmitigating, the only other variable seems to be the volume.

It is that loud sometimes sleep is impossible, unless totally exhausted.

Sometimes the "signal" breaks up similar to a digital tv transmission.

There is a Multi Cell mast not 500 yds from my house, which I suspect maybe the cause, I have checked online & there are TETRA relays sited there.

I am looking to either move, or paint the back of the house with microwave reflective paint.

[ernie]

It's also worth noting that these same electro magentic waves are seriously considered to render our transformers in electrical systems inoperable. Not so much of a surprise if you know the effect of EMPs. However, the shock to the Human species to have to live without electricity is something we should consider.

I imagined this scenario and smiled as you can be sure there would be a certain amount of people looting shops for TVs, toasters and Playstations.

There are possible positives that could come from the increase in cosmic activity. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone suddenly got quite a bit smarter and everyone's consciousness was raised significantly. I fervently hope this will be the case as, statistically, I can't see how we, as a race, could possibly become more stupid and deranged.

Do you hear the hum? (NOT ringing) http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7247&highlight=hum+ringing

[monkeyboy]

i have heard this for a long time now and i mentioned it to my mother. it normally starts around midnight she said she had also heard this but when she asked her doc about it he said it was her blood pressure but i have no problems with mine so explain that doc? it was so bad a few weeks back i could not sleep it was about 3.30 in the morning i was so pissed off that i was going to go out and try and find where this noise was coming from but my conditioning kicked in and ithought what if the rozzers stop me what would i say wandering about at that time in the morning so i didnt go out :o it has not been as bad since then but i still do here it at night. the only rhing i could think of that i is to disturb peoples sleep and we know this can have a detramental effect on thinking and concentration.

[jojo]

i used to live in Ayrshire, Scotland and whenever i went to Largs i heard the hum.

im glad i did not live there! still, they make brilliant icecream and worth visiting for that!

[decim]

Infra sound is one explanation, I read about, it can come from all kinds of sources and have some weird effects aswell.

[ex sheep]

I've got it constantly, it never leaves me, I used to think it was those phone masts, but I was out in the country the other day and I still heard it.

Its really shit, its there at night and first thing in the morning, I can hear it now as I am typing this :mad:

[decim]

Yes it does bring insanity that wee bit closer.

[mrindigo]

I wonder if this has anything to do with humanity laying down underground wires? Even thought there's protective housing around the filaments, some does still leak out. Maybe this effects the Earth's natural Ley line paths, causing an irregular fluctuation? In theory if there's enough diverted energy, it could temporarily create a vortex in a focused area. That hum could possibly be the result of this, increasing the vibrational resonance in the area, producing the hum effect. Other things could come into play too. Large concentrations of dense minerals, alloys, and quartz crystal might amplify this. I could be wrong, but either way I hope it's figured out. It could better help to understand how the Earth works, and spare some poor people their sanity. :D

[sexi_co]

Yea, ive experinced this loads of times and i think i have worked it out.
I think its just the sound of the city, town or village you live in or near, vibrating at a certain freq. I hear it alot living where i do now, nr London, but where i grew up in the country side, i would rarely hear it. The nearest town was Coventry which was roughly 7 miles away. But every now and again, you could hear the low freq noise it gave off. If im not makin much sense, i appologise, im really tired and finding it hard to explain properly.

:D

[herzmeister]

I hear it too at my place, and yes, of course it gets louder when you concentrate on it... :(

I suspect a transformer station nearby, although there comes a bit different sound (frequency is a bit higher) when approaching it.

Switching on a little music helps me at night tho, but I think about moving.

Next time I know I'm gonna spend a night wherever I'm gonna rent a new flat... :o

Guess you can only really become aware of it at night when everything is silent and it won't be swallowed by daily life noises but then it becomes annoying and lethal like the famous torture method with the perpetual cold water drops on your head.

[lightgiver]

Was telling the partner about this the other day,I have been experiencing the HUM this last week,and she told me it had been mentioned on the radio today,also my mother and a few more people I know have also experienced the HUM,and its not the Dharma Hum either,I know what it is,

Its Haarp,that's why the weathers shit.

I have recently moved away from the coast where for some period of time I could hear the Hum..it suddenly started about 18 months ago when lying in bed it sounded like a diesel engine on in the distance....open the window...nothing..I know of someone else that lived 5 miles away that heard it at the same time so all the nonsense about gas pipes etc..I think the military/Govt know exactly what it is!

I tried an aluminium foil 'hat' that seemd to relieve the hum and although it looked odd it worked...thankfully where I am now it is not a problem..fingers crossed because it is very disturbing, sometimes worse than others in frequency..

I heard about this a few years back - The "Bristol Hum" has been around for quite a while.

Yes, when I lived in Bristol I would hear the hum.

Bristol is cool.

[glacidtek]

it should be fairly easy to 'mask' the effect of this hum:

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~bosse/proj/node9.html

"In the presence of a strong white noise, for example, many weaker sounds get masked (see section 3.2), and thus we cannot hear them at all. Some of these masking characteristics are due to the physical ear, and some are due to the processing in the brain. "

although this doesnt remove any potentail harm from the source of the hum.... it should confuse the brain into rendering the hum as useless information and filter it out......

although then all the person would hear woyuld be white-noise..... suppose that would also drive them insane!

oh well, just thinking out loud.

Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Natural sources of electromagnetic perception

For centuries, humans have reported hearing unexplained noises in conjunction with meteors including "thunder-like sounds" at the scene of the Tunguska event on June 30, 1908. Astronomer Edmund Halley collected several such accounts after a widely-observed meteor burned up in the sky over England [1]. The Leonid meteor shower in November 2001 also led to many reports of observers hearing crackling or fizzing noises. Similar observations have been reported by soldiers near the site of nuclear explosions.

Colin Keay, a physicist at the University of Newcastle in Australia, has advanced a hypothesis that purports to explain these phenomena. According to Keay's theory, meteor trails give off very low frequency (VLF) radio signals that the human ear cannot sense directly but are heard because a transducer on the ground must be converting the radio waves into sound waves. He has produced experiments that demonstrate that materials as commonplace as aluminum foil, thin wires, pine needles, and wire-framed glasses can act as suitable transducers.

Powerful VLF waves can induce physical vibrations in these objects, which are transmitted to the air as sound waves. Keay defines the field of geophysical electrophonics link to Colin Keay's geophysical electronphonics websiteas "the production of audible noises of various kinds through direct conversion by transduction of very low frequency electromagnetic energy generated by a number of geophysical phenomena." [2] Some scientists state[citation needed] that electrophonic effects may also be caused by lightning strikes, very bright auroras, and earthquakes.

Electroreception has also been studied in the animal world. Ritz et al., in "A Model for Photoreceptor-Based Magnetoreception in Birds", hypothesize that transduction of the Earth's geomagnetic field is responsible for the magnetoreception systems of birds. Specifically, they propose that this transduction may take place in a class of photoreceptors known as cryptochromes.

Which was something else I had also thought about!

This could tie in with the Mayan Calendar, this could well be part of the next "day" or "night" depending on where we are on the timeline, but basically it could be where humans step up the next evolutionary stage.. presumably just before we all suddenly understand the nature of our reality.

We live in very exciting times!
