For years, there have been reported incidents
around the world of people hearing a strange
“humming” sound of unknown origin. At best,
this sound is annoying, and at its worst, it can
be downright maddening. But there is one
strange thing about this horrible noise: most
people can’t hear it.
“The Hum” has taken on many names according
to the regions where it can be heard, including
the Bristol Hum (South England) and the Taos
Hum (New Mexico). But no matter where you
are, if you are part of the 2% of the
population who can hear it, The Hum just won’t
leave you alone.
The Hum is usually heard indoors, and it’s more
audible at night. Humming reports are uncommon
in urban areas, likely because crowded cities tend
to have consistent background noise that would
drown out The Hum.
According to a 2003 study by acoustical consultant
Geoff Leventhall, of the roughly two percent of
people that can hear the sound, most of them are
between the ages of 55 and 70.
Some people hear The Hum throughout the day,
while others only hear it occasionally. Similarly,
some people hear it more strongly than others. It
can be so annoying that it can interfere with one’s
day-to-day life, and has even been blamed for at
least one suicide.
Headaches, nausea, dizziness, nosebleeds, and sleep
disturbances have all been reported by those
suffering from The Hum.
Some physicians say the hum could be a sign of
tinnitus, which means that those people hear
sounds that do not exist. However, this
seems unlikely when considering that The Hum is
only heard in certain geographical locations.
Another medical explanation is that The Hum could
be autoacoustic emissions, sounds that are
generated by one’s own inner ear.
There still hasn’t been a definitive, satisfying explanation for
this phenomenon, and the closest thing we have to a “cure”
is drowning out the sound with music. Right now, your best
bet is to just put on some headphones and drown it out… or
risk going mad. Link to sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuRBM0i8mbI
