content: Greetings EEVBees:--See below for a recording of the mysterious Hum being heard in the Taos NM area, and parts of Wales. A Wind Sailor I know says, that late at night when it is quiet you can hear it at a point, some 300 miles south of the Azores whose map coordinates place it Antipodal to a point just northwest of Sydney, in the Baulkham Hills. Which is rather interesting, as the hum sounds suspiciously like a didgeridoo, a peculiar wind instrument which is played by the local Aboriginals, as well as certain other eccentric types. For Americans the sound can be approximated by tooting a raspberry on an old Ford Galaxy muffler. Now, it would take a lot of sophisticated electronic equipment and knowledge, to pull off the old Antipodal Transmission trick, plus a Digi, but it could be done. The hum can only be heard by some people. This may be due to accidently formed diodes in the fillings and bridgework of certain people, causing them to hear radio broadcasts. Lucille Ball has testified to this phenomena, and other people have heard radio broadcasts from refrigerators and other appliances, particularly radios. There are many other even more peculiar speculations about the origin of the Hum, having to do with NSA, HARP, Aliens, and so forth. But the Digi is my favorite.http://www.nbcnews.com/science/mysterious-hum-driving-people-crazy-around-world-6C10760872"Researchers also have been investigating the Hum in Bondi, a seaside area of Sydney, Australia, for several years, to no avail. "It sends people around here crazy — all you can do is put music on to block it out. Some people leave fans on," one resident told the Daily Telegraph." "No burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days."Max Planck 1858 - 1947Best RegardsClear Ether

content: I've had this problem for years in my right ear. Turns out to be a form of Tinnitus. Could also be compacted earwax againt the eardrum or even increased blood pressure in the ear.I used to try moving around the room to find out where the hum was worst. Waste of time.I wear ear plugs at night to get to sleep. This pushes wax further into my ear and irritates my ear canal. It also means my hearing is very sensitive in the morning. I also ride a noisey motorcycle (with the earplugs in).All I'm saying is look for answers closer to home first.David.

content: I hear this all the time outside at night in my north Atlanta neighborhood. Pretty certain that it is a power plant (or similar industrial activity) miles away, and atmospheric conditions along with terrain allow it to carry further on some nights. Similarly, you can sometimes hear train horns and rumbling even though the nearest train tracks are dozens of miles away. But it only happens on nights where the humidity, winds, and temperature are just right.

content: I would bet that the hum varies a bit depending on where you are. I frequently can hear a 50HZ hum whenever I am near power lines or even sometimes when in bed late at night I can hear transformers and or power cables humming. I can say from personal experience that it's 60HZ in the US. All it takes is for all the other noise to abate and if you are near any mains source you can hear it unless you are deaf of course.

content: Quote from: G7PSK on July 28, 2013, 08:16:29 amHow can you know that it's a 50Hz hum simply by hearing it? why not 40Hz or maybe 30Hz? I know that you're referring to the power line hum, but maybe what you hear is coming from a different source.

content: It is not HARP, it has been defunded and turned off as the US government runs out of other people's money and starts to realise the piggy bank is actually empty, and the bills are coming due for payment.

content: A minor correction folks..... The word HARP attracted my attention because of its association with Gerald Bull who was behind very interesting ballistics projects including the infamous Iraqi Babylon super gun project. He got himself assassinated in 1990 by annoying the wrong peopleTake a look here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_HARPHAARP is a very different beast and I believe that was being alluded to here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Frequency_Active_Auroral_Research_ProgramA ionospheric research program..... a little different to a ballistics test program .

content: It's 100 hz, a while back I made a post on another subject about "singing sand " and ringing rocks that probably got some eye rolls, no matter, rest assured there IS a method to my madness.http://www.schweich.com/sbdA.htmlAnd things DO get interesting right around 100hz

content: The "reversal" effect is just a visual trick - due to the frame speed of the video camera. It's not what you see with your eyes if you are there to witness it.
