THE HUM
The hum is a mystery that predates the era of 1950’s when the reports of an incessant acoustic low frequency disturbance came trickling in from certain zones such as Bristol(England) , Taos(Mexico) , Windsor(Ontario) , Bondi(Sydney) and people complained of an agitating humming, throbbing, drumming sound that led to sleepless nights and depression. The possible causes were related to the activities in the hum prone zones but to no scientific explanation was found as to these ELF(extremely low frequency) “Hums” that were heard only by 11% of the total population within the zone becoming louder at night and fading during the day. It led to a couple of suicides back in the 1990’s and is said to have bedevilled people into experiencing nausea, headaches, suicidal tendencies etc.
Researchers refute the assumption of it being a psychotic disorder or hypochondria and confirm the absence of any natural reasons behind it. “The Hum” continues to remain an intriguing mystery even today.
