Log by: Shahid Khan

Key Points Reported since the early 1990s; only about 2–6% of residents can hear it. Described as a constant engine-like vibration with no identifiable source. Acoustic, seismic, and electromagnetic surveys have all failed to detect a cause. Some researchers believe it may be a psychoacoustic phenomenon, while others suspect underground geological resonance. The hum has also been reported in other parts of the world, including the UK and Canada.
