Mystery "hum" hits UK again

Just another of those unknown weird happenings...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8566281/Tiny-village-is-latest-victim-of-the-The-hum.html
Quote:
Now a tiny English village is the latest community to claim to be being hit by the phenomenon known as "the hum". Residents of Woodland, in County Durham, claim that every night a noise permeates the air similar to the throb of a car engine. It is sometimes so strong that it even shakes the bed of one of the householders. But no matter how hard they look, the community cannot find the source of the problem and, at their wits end, have called in the council to investigate. The 300-strong population is the latest around the world to be hit by the rumble which has in the past led to wild conspiracy theories blaming it on UFOs, government experiments and abandoned mine shafts. It is so widespread that it has even featured on the television show The X Files. Its most famous occurrence was in Bristol in the 1970s when more than a thousand people complained of the consistent drone causing nosebleeds, sleeplessness and headaches. It vanished as mysteriously as it arrived and was never explained. Residents of Woodland, a community consisting of one main street surrounded by farmland, claims their version of "the hum" is constant from midnight until 4am every night and stops them sleeping. There are no pylons, factories or abandoned mines nearby. The noise started about two months ago and has been plaguing the isolated village every day since. Marylin Grech, 57, a retired store detective, said: "In certain areas of the house you can hear it more loudly. It is definitely from outside, it's in the air, all around, very faint. "It vibrates through the house. We've turned all the electricity off in the house and we can still hear it, so it's not that. "Sometimes we'll be in bed and it vibrates right through our bed, like a throbbing. "It's not tinnitus, that's a high pitched sound and this is very low. If I put my fingers in my ears it stops, so I know it's not in my head. "At 4am it's so clear, because we live in such an isolated place with no traffic, it's heaven. "But it leaves a buzzing in your head for the rest of the day." Gary Hutchinson, an environmental protection manager at Durham County Council, said: "I can confirm that we received a call regarding a humming sound in the Woodland area earlier on June 1 and we will now make further enquiries before deciding what action we will take."
WEIRD eh?

I've heard it a few times about two months back and it lasted nearly an evening each time. It was a harmonic frequency and sometimes it was accompanied by some kind of soft rhythm and it felt very good when I meditated to it, like it was triggering my pineal gland or something.
When I turned my head and I could raise or lower the volume, same when I went in different parts of the house. Then I went outside and it was still audible to me but not my friend. Sounded like it was coming from the sky.

fuck man, 4 times i felt this past 6months, i live 20 yards from main rail line so i know its not the trains as i am used to their specific noise
fucking scared now, its like ur not supposed to be witnessing it, and the noise is aware of you.
you can feelit has immense power.
first 2 times passed it off/hoped it was me dreaming.
you feel like its forcing you to sleep but intrigue and fear make you scrutinise it, which makes it angry.

I'm curious what the actual frequency of the sound is . These sorts of "hums" or low frequency sounds have been reported all around the world, from natural causes and man made.

I could imagine, I love meditating to low frequencies.
Frequencies and vibrations in general really have my curiosity too.

On May 31, 2003, a team of UK researchers held a mass experiment where they exposed some 700 people to music laced with soft 17 Hz sine waves played at a level described as "near the edge of hearing", produced by an extra-long-stroke subwoofer mounted two-thirds of the way from the end of a seven-meter-long plastic sewer pipe. The experimental concert (entitled Infrasonic) took place in the Purcell Room over the course of two performances, each consisting of four musical pieces. Two of the pieces in each concert had 17 Hz tones played underneath. In the second concert, the pieces that were to carry a 17 Hz undertone were swapped so that test results would not focus on any specific musical piece. The participants were not told which pieces included the low-level 17 Hz near-infrasonic tone. The presence of the tone resulted in a significant number (22%) of respondents reporting anxiety, uneasiness, extreme sorrow, nervous feelings of revulsion or fear, chills down the spine and feelings of pressure on the chest. In presenting the evidence to British Association for the Advancement of Science, Professor Richard Wiseman said, "These results suggest that low frequency sound can cause people to have unusual experiences even though they cannot consciously detect infrasound. Some scientists have suggested that this level of sound may be present at some allegedly haunted sites and so cause people to have odd sensations that they attribute to a ghost—our findings support these ideas."

I have heard similar sounds often when I was younger.Very rarely do I ever hear anything like that now,and never more than a few hours.
Was unaware that so many people heard these at once.I thought it was just a natural thing.If not,wtf?

thinking bout it, the times i heard it after a my 5meodmt death/existence-meld experience it was less angry,
as long as i let it 'kill me' it would grant me everything and forever, but only becuase it was ceasing all of the universe and existence.

Not that I know of...Do a search for "infra-sound" and you might find something.

By the hum? i have no idea, i haven't researched it in detail.
It is possible for certain wavelengths to affect your mood and thoughts though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect
Quote:
The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of audible clicks induced by pulsed/modulated microwave frequencies. The clicks are generated directly inside the human head
Quote:
The existence of non-lethal weaponry that exploits the microwave auditory effect appears to have been classified "Secret NOFORN" in the USA from (at the latest) 1998, until the declassification on 6 December 2006 of "Bioeffects of Selected Non-Lethal Weaponry" in response to a FOIA request. Application of the microwave hearing technology could facilitate a private message transmission. Quoting from the above source, "Microwave hearing may be useful to provide a disruptive condition to a person not aware of the technology. Not only might it be disruptive to the sense of hearing, it could be psychologically devastating

I have been questioning everything in life lately.... so not much is new.
There's no clicks and it felt very loving after the initial shock, didn't bother me too much. I kind of enjoyed it.

just resonance probably, something in the area operating at the natural frequency of another near by object.

Whoa!!!
Story time.....(cliffnotes version added at the end)
Last night I was studying until about 2AM so I had my headphones on until I finished so I wouldn't wake up my room mate with my music. When I was done I took my headphones off and heard a somewhat slow oscillating sound, like that of a fan or motor that sometimes makes repetitive sounds like that.
I searched around and once I concluded it wasn't my computer I opened the window to check outside, thinking it might be coming from the train tracks a half mile away or some electrical unit nearby....nothing.
I tried going to sleep and I couldn't, it was just loud enough to keep me awake, so I got back up deteremined to find the source of this sound. I put my ear against the wall and I could hear it more distinctly, as if it was almost in the wall. I then opened the window again and listened more carefully this time and thought I could hear it coming from above me.
My conclusions were that it was coming from an apartment above me or from a motor/fan on the roof of the building. Either way I ended up sleep in the living room where I couldn't hear it.
I asked my room mate about it and he said he didn't hear anything. I took a nap earlier today and I heard it then, but now it's raining so I can't tell if I still hear it.
Crazy shit!
Cliffnotes: Heard humming sound last night, unable to sleep and unable to find the source although I could hear it distinctly with my ear to the walls.
