All The Juicy Buzz The World Is Talking About

The Taos Hum is one of the top ten unexplained phenomena. Well actually some say it is.
This phenomenon happens in different places of the world and we usually add the name of the place in front of “hum”, like “the Taos hum” or “the Bristol hum”.
A “hum” is the name given to a low-frequency sound that some people hear at some places of the world without being able to find the source of this noise. It sounds like a humming noise and some studies have proven that it was impossible to record it using a microphone.
What seems weird is that some websites like the Taos Hum Page have some recordings of this humming sound…how is it possible to have some recordings if it is described as impossible to record ?

I, for one, KNOW that it’s not shared hysteria. I was experiencing the “Hum” for over a year before I even mentioned it to anyone. I have never even heard of the Taos (or any other) Hum in my life, until today when I bumped into an item about it. I just thought someone was running a large piece of equipment somewhere, all the time. The fact that I live in the country does not mean there can’t be machinery around. I DOES seem like somebody’s leaving a diesel truck running for hours and hours on end, and it runs steadily, not like a real truck would run, maybe a bit ragged now and then, but smoothly. and non-stop. I just tried to ignore it. I live just North of Ithaca, New York.
Well, we’ve gotten it in Spring, Texas, just north of Houston’s airport. It comes, it goes and just like Ithaca it’s quite constant. I can also report that depending upon wind direction, we can hear idling Diesel Engines from the rail road tracks. These are idleing locomotives, but the noise they make is quite different from what I would refer to as the “ambient” hum which is at a much lower frequency. My wife just reported that she heard a noise similar to a pile driver in the early a.m., (a noise she’s familiar with as she’s a New Orleans native and when they build a high rise in NOLA, the pile drivers can be heard for months on end), but she said the cadence and deep tone weren’t correct for a pile driver either.
Sadly, these noises have become more pronounced over the last few months which has interrupted my sleep on a number of occasions. I now routinely awaken around 2:30 a.m. and just listen. It’s quite eerie.
The persistant “hum” is here in Las Vegas Nevada. I initially believed their was a vehicle idling, but I could not find one. The sound is non-stop and borders on driving you nuts, the sound is detectable by others in my family. ear plugs will not work, as it is a low pitched not affected by the NRR delivered by the plugs. Often the sound is somewhat like a diesel engine or a pool pump, definitly mechanical sounding.
I live in a very quiet forested area in Kelowna,BC, Canada and I recently started hearing the hum. It is exactly as everyone describes. A low throbbing diesel engine. It is very loud most of the time but sometimes quiets down a bit. But it is always there. At first I thought I was going crazy but an internet search revealed that others are hearing it too. It is very strange.
I started hearing a low hum that sounds like an idling diesel truck a few days ago and it hasn’t stopped. I live in the mountains 20 minutes west of Boulder, Colorado in a quiet small valley. Today, I’m 10 minurtes east of Boulder and can still hear the low humming sound. I think it’s in my head or possibly all the people who can hear this is tuned into something within themselves or a bigger collective universal tone. Who knows.
We just finished remodeling a farm house in Friendsville, PA and I started to hear the hum when we moved in 2 months ago. We are situated on top of a mountain and there is no traffic or highways. My husband does not hear it. It wakes me up at night. From reading, I suppose a white noise maker is in my future. I wonder what it really is though??!!!
I moved to Conifer, CO (about 40 miles west of Denver) a few months ago and consistently hear a hum. My wife hears it too, but not as consistently as I do. It seems to come and go during the day, late evening and early morning being the most prevalent times. We thought it might be related to the water or sewer system of our neighborhood…that perhaps wells or pumps are resonating through the pipes or through the mountain itself.
This morning I went on a hike. I heard the hum at the trailhead…nowhere near a public water or sewer system (or so I believe). It’s still a mystery. It’s good to know that others are experiencing this as well (I have ringing in my ears, but that’s a medical condition). I still wonder if it’s not related to some public works project being amplified by the mountains…we have a lot of reservoirs and irrigation tunnels in Colorado.
