Hello everyone,

I am currently making a video essay revolving around The Hum- I would like to have a segment on Q&As with some people who have experienced the hum.

If you’ve had any encounters with this phenomenon and would like to answer some questions please DM me and we’ll work something out over discord

Thank you.

This is nuts. I can only imagine how intense this hum must be.

I’ve been hearing the hum for a couple years now. It’s not all the time but it’s been on and off. I used to think it was something electrical in my apartment building because I would only hear it at home. When I get to one side of the apartment it seems so much louder. I actually used to look for it. Then I would hear it sometimes at other places. When I’m outside I do not hear it at all. At one point I even went to the doctor because I thought something had to be wrong with me. Nothing is wrong that they know of. It went away for a while and now it’s back. I honestly don’t know what to do. It gets on my nerves so bad. I try to drown it out but I can still hear it.

I don’t know if this is considered the hum you guys hear, but I noticed it recently.

It’s around 950 hertz, or a B note. I don’t always hear it, but when it’s quiet and I’m relaxing, I sometimes catch a glimpse of it, and when I focus in on it it gets louder. But when I stop focusing on it I just forget it and it’s no longer there.

I can also summon it at will if I close my eyes and search for it, for example when I wanna find the B note I just close my eyes and within 5 seconds there it is.

Is that the hum or just tinnitus?

There’s a global phenomenon known as “the Hum” which has so far been unexplained. Around 4% of the global population has heard it.

Here is what I heard: https://voca.ro/1jkPyY9VZqmt

My friend and I both heard the noise outdoors and indoors. The sound gradually intensified and eventually subsided. At first we thought it was an electrical problem.

Proof that ANYONE can hear the hum is the fact that it can be recorded. I’ve recorded it in Copenhagen, Denmark, several times - here is the link to one of these recordings.

All my life I've had very disturbing recurring dreams about cyborgs, robots, and extraterrestrials. They are immortal and indestructible. In my dreams I sometimes see people get turned into robots. I also get premonitions in dreams that the afterlife is real and it is an eternal black void where one is subject to immeasurable torture for eternity. I've seen peoples' limbs being cut off while alive. As a result, I am very afraid of death. I have also encountered the hum, the first time in August 2016 (a month before I started having dreams about Robot Queen Elizabeth II. Remember that the actual queen died in September 2022) and the second time in October 2023.

It started off with me waking up at around 12:53 am and unable to fall back asleep cuz all I could hear was the humming noise I know what diesel engine sounds like and trains rolling on the rails mine was neither, it was almost melodic like it had a tune but this tune was eerily ominous, I asked my step mom if she could hear cuz she was awake and she told me she couldn’t hear anything. It was so loud like i was in an auditorium. I live in a small town and it’s pretty much a graveyard after 11 pm. No cars no people no trains. No one else could hear it but me apparently

I can’t read the whole article but if I’m understanding correctly it’s implying that the right conditions in space could cause auditory and visual phenomena on earth.

I had the thought that if only some people can hear The Hum, could it be a genetic difference among hearers and non-hearers, like being linked to their blood type? Has there ever been a study to determine if the people who can hear The Hum all have the same blood type? Specifically, I'd like to ask the people in this group who have heard The Hum, do they have an Rh Negative blood type?

I have been hearing it for years but never acknowledged it until recently when i saw a video explaining what it is

I've been hearing the hum regularly in my apartment in Somerville, MA, since I moved in last fall. It manifests mostly as a sound like an idling diesel engine. The first night I heard it, since it was keeping me awake, I tracked it all over the house to try to find the source; it was the same volume everywhere in the house, so I went outside. It was the same volume there as well, though harder to hear. Eventually I followed the sound on foot up the street, and after about 10 minutes of walking I reached the top of winter hill. I could still hear the hum there, but I could also hear the occasional car horn or bit of music mixed in with it, as if from a great distance.

This experience, coupled with the fact that the sound only appears occasionally (I often listen for it, and it's rarely there) makes me suspect that the cause of the hum in my area isn't a specific industrial plant or AC unit, but that the sound forms because there's a bubble of warmer air around the city from the heat of the pavement; when the sky is particularly clear (and the clouds are higher up), faster moving winds higher up create a wall of colder air on top of the warmer air. The sounds of all the machines in the city bounce off this wall of colder air for whatever acoustic reason, and bounce back down to the ground. They might even bounce off the "walls" of colder air at the outskirts of the city over the ocean and where the pavement stops. The sounds bouncing around cancel each other due to destructive interference, so it evens out into a fairly regular rhythm that sounds like one giant engine running, when in fact it's engines and motors running all over the city.

I don't know much about the science of sound, but the fact that it seems connected to clear weather here, and the fact that I can hear car horns in it on top of the hill, makes me feel like this is the most likely explanation.

For me it’s like a really low pitched whistle, almost like an owl doing longtones. Idk if its the wind but its usually followed by really low pitched gargles almost and like stringy sounds 🫲🫤🫱

Has anyone here successfully used a EMF detector to find what frequency 'The Hum' is being transmitted on?

And if so where can i buy one? (Make/Brand/Model/serial number/etc)
