Unraveling the Mystery: Identifying the elusive "Hum" audible to select individuals
In the quiet of the night, a low droning sound, similar to a truck engine, has been causing sleepless nights for a fraction of the global population. This mysterious sound, known as The Hum, has been reported since the 1970s in various locations worldwide, including Dinard, France, and Bristol, UK.
The origin of The Hum remains a mystery, but it is believed to be linked to industrial installations emitting infrasounds. Infrasounds are very low frequencies that humans can only hear if played very loudly. These installations, such as electrical transformers, wind turbines, and factory machinery, emit very low sounds that can propagate and pass through buildings.
In Dinard, France, around thirty residents have been hearing The Hum for the past five years. The sound is particularly strong, even with earplugs, and can be heard primarily near industrial zones such as the port area and nearby manufacturing plants. Possible sources include the power plant, shipping activities, and factory machinery.
To learn more about The Hum and the perception of infrasounds in humans, tests are being conducted in a laboratory in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). These tests involve volunteers who can hear The Hum and also feel vibrations in their body. The research aims to understand the connection between the two and the potential effects on human health.
For those who hear The Hum, it is a nightmare. The constant drone prevents sleep and causes stress. The Hum is heard worldwide today, and further research is being conducted to shed light on this enigma and find a solution for those affected.
As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: The Hum is more than just a noise. It's a global phenomenon that is affecting the lives of many, and it's a mystery that scientists and researchers are eager to solve.
