"...a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming noise not audible to all people."

Reports of these humming noises have come to surface all over our planet. People have attributed these noises to electronics, meteors, and even volcanoes. I would also venture to say some people think it's 'supernatural', or even 'God' speaking to them.

There was a popular case of this in Taos, New Mexico, and it is referred as the "Taos Hum". People say it can be so bothersome as to even interrupt sleep and drive them crazy. So, there's no doubt it exists. The question is, 'what' is it really?

What do you think this nose is? Possibly this noise is easily explained away, and instead is being understood as other-worldly?

a company makes a device used at some stores, it is a sound projector, and it can be adjusted to be heard only by teenagers. I have not heard anything specific about this topic. I do study noise pollution though.

I dont think its easily explained,and some top scientists have looked into it before with now findings.But one thing to consider,the Earths crust is thin there...if Im not mistaken ,one of the thinnist places on the planet.And,with all the ancient volcanic activity..well,maybe it has something to do with that.
Or perhaps its connected with Los Alamos.I just dont know.I've had friends complain about it though, and they started going up to Mammoth instead of Taos on their vacations.

I wonder if they have solved the source of the wailing wall?

There is a cave called Moaning cave, a pressurized wind in a crag can produce a "whistle" like sound. Or even a drone.

My guess would be the sound of air or water rushing through underground caverns, at least in New Mexico. There are plenty of them there where the Hopi came from.

You can tell the difference between a natural hum and a man made hum. I live in a windy area and when the wind rushes through at times it sounds like a hum yet you can tell that it is nature.

It's probably a matter of personal opinion, really. I myself have never experienced it, but for some reason it has me thinking of areas that have vortexes(like Sedona, Arizona). The buzzing COULD be from electronics - all of the electromagnetic energy. Or it could be natural energy that is actually being heard.

When I hear that low pitched hum I just turn off all the electric appliances in my room. Such as my computer and TV. it goes away after that. So definitely man made. I hear a persistant ringing in my ear all the time! Thus why I can not sleep without a fan on.

Hey to all you people that come onto this thread and say, "I've never heard of this, but here is what I think"...what is up with that? That is not even an opinion...its not even a guess, its just some random thing you are saying. Quit being so lazy or dont post.

Google the topic, it only takes like two seconds and its a "famous" issue, lots of hits come up for it. The problem with what those of you who are just throwing crap out there are saying is that its obviously already been said AND disproved.

They cant figure out the source, they have tried. These "hum" sources are all over the world. How do you get a man made source in the middle of a desert? Tinnitus, thought to be the cause (and a darn good guess), doesn't match up...some people only hear the hum and dont react with anything else. Once they are out of "range" it goes away.

Anyway, it is a fascinating little problem here on planet earth, its worth 5 minutes of your time to read about. Or if you cant read well, get someone to read it to you.

i dont know but bees seem to be dropping dead, the two may very well have a common link. my first guess is not supernatural, but worthy of investigation no less.

I don't know but.. and all those non commiting phrases are very annoying actually. Usually found in statements made by people who are seeking to have a set agenda paraded about. They are not interested in any variety of explainations, or even actually proven sources, they just want someone to say.." Oh it is super natural." The dismissing of all other options for explainations is further proof. For example, echoing foot steps.. are just that echoing foot steps.. but tell a person that says they are followed home by a ghost that and they will likely reply, "I have heard echoing foot steps, this case is not echoing foot steps."

I like the matters that where once actually "unexplained", that are rehashed. Yet people fail to see if the "mystery" has been updated with current findings. Research, on a computer? For and against an assumed Phenomena.. ? Say, can that be done?

Funny. I remember the reports about the hum and all the things they attributed it to. Here in New Mexico, I don't believe we ever "got to the bottom of it". Considering there are 2 labs here of note, one not terribly far from Taos, I would say that its likely manmade.

*Ducks the swinging axe of Sevenn* Whoa! Harsh! Yet, so true!
Luckily, I have heard of this -- I am not going on a Google hunt. Not for unexplained phenomena, especially *grins*...

I read once (and again, I have to hunt down this book later -- like when I can haul old boxes around without my cast...) that not only is this hum theorized as vibrations from the planet's core, but that the areas that experience this hum in higher frequency, are thought to be places of power. Stonehenge came up as part of this theory, as did pyramids -- both looked at as a spiritual tuning fork, for lack of better phrasing. However, I can't seem to find anything supporting this in here (as of this moment, I am still looking).

If you can imagine the noise one hears when standing near power lines or a power plant -- that humming is akin to the description given to this natural noise.

Sheesh, but if the earth was trying to talk to us this whole time and we have been too self-absorbed to listen... that is mighty embarrassing...

It is possible that it is a nature generated noise. Any combination of the tides, movements of the earth's crust, a resonance from wind blowing across the tops of mountains or across a canyon.

I think with all the electrical devices we have now adays it has to interfere with some aspect. I think our hearing gets very sensitive and at times so much we can hear finer levels which causes us to hear things we havent in the pass.

Well and also keep in mind that this happens in certain places all over the world, so while I respect the point you are making Genesis, I would then have to wonder if the same types of labs or plants were say in Bristol, England: another place that has a "hum". And CryingDutchess, yeah...hop along and find that book gimpy...that sounds fascinating =)

Do the people who live in the area hear it or is it just visitors. I mean have the locals become use to it and as such it doesnt affect them.

Oh snap! Sevenn, just called me Gimpy! Could be, that all my crutch-buckling is causing the vibrations that create this hum in Mexico and not New York.

Okay, some research -- and if I can do research y'all can cut and paste a link. *grin*

theage.com.au is an aussie paper -- in 2006, this humming was discovered there. Still unexplained...
www.theage.com.au/articles/2006/10/27/1161749292514.html

And for good measure, I read up on psychoacoustics -- yes, psychopaths with musical talent! NO!!!! This is the finding on a case study that explains how sound is picked up by the brain and not the ear canal:

"Here is an experiment that you can try. Start humming. While humming, place your hands over your ears. Notice that the sound now appears to come directly from the center of your head. If we didn't have our outer ears, all sound would seem to come from the inside of our head."
http://www.norh.com/docs/psychoacoustics.html

If this is true, which it evidently is, could it be that those who are hearing this hum have been put in a position where they cannot ignore one of the many dormant components of our brains? Could there be a psychic link?? If so, it is about time! I want to start working on my telekinesis.

I think that if this day and age it can not be absolutely pinpointed as to what it is... thinking it's 'out of this world' is not such a stretch.

RR? That would be a great idea, if Taos isn't too far -- you could be the VR guinea pig... That is, if you wouldn't mind coming back here to be debriefed... Ah, I love how we're spread out all over the place here!

Got a haunting in Alaska, poof! We have VR members in the area; New York? No problem! Louisiana! Ha! Don't get that list going... Sorry, just pleased and amazed at how widespread our community is.

I spent three months in Taos learning to make Native American sand cast jewelry. During that time I thought I heard a humming noise, I had to ask my teacher what the noise was after awhile because it was weird. She told me it was always there, ever since anyone could remember, and that was at least 100 years.
