Oh, you know what? I just read this article today. Yeah. Probably a good one. And it's not sad or depressing, necessarily. Okay. I'm skeptical. This comes from gizmodo .com written by Margarita Bassey, May 1st, 2025 article title, A strange unexplained hum is keeping Scottish Isle awake at night. Yes. I love mystery hums. Residents of the Scottish Isle of Lewes in the Hebrides are claiming to hear a strange humming noise. No one knows where it's coming from or even if
it's real. Nevertheless, some hum hearers claim it's severely disrupting their lives. Lauren Grace Kirtley, founder of the Herodian Hum, Low Frequency Noise Disturbance Action and Support Group on Facebook described it to BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland program as, quote, I'm not going to do it in the Scottish accent just so we can all actually understand what's being said. That's disappointing. A very low humming, droning, pulsating noise. It's incredibly intrusive
and distressing. I get lots of fluttering in my ears. It's making me dizzy and giving me headaches, end quote, she has said, according to BBC. In a Facebook post, currently wrote that the group has made spectographed recordings, graphs that show sound frequencies over time at each location, where people reported hearing the strange humming
sounds. They identified a persistent recordable 50 -hertz signal of variable strength present in all locations, indicating that the hum isn't being produced from the center of the island. Using this approach, they ruled out all known potential on -island sources, including posts,
turbines, and other infrastructure. The group is now exploring offshore origins the group says it's reached out to various organizations for support but there's still no widespread agreement on the possible cause currently however believes that it is of human and not natural origin aren't humans natural very unnatural actually Yeah,
that's fair. Pamela Weaver Larson, a member of the 546 -person Facebook group, suggested in a post that phenomena might be caused by auto -acoustic emissions, low -intensity sounds produced in the cochlea, a part of the inner ear. In other words, hum -hears might be hearing noises created by their own ears rather than external sound. Quote, then why wouldn't I hear the hum wherever I go? End quote, Larson mused in the post, explaining that she didn't hear the hum in Florida or upper
Michigan. The recent reports join a host of other mysterious hums that have been reported around the world for decades. There's even the World Hum Map and Database Project, which I did not know about, that we can click on. It's called the hum .com. I'm there. Founded by hum hearer Glenn McPherson, a former University of British Columbia lecturer. No way, they're right around here. Wow. Yeah, which documents the map's self -reported data on what is frequently called the
World Wide Hum. According to the website, the hum is typically compared to a car or truck engine idling outside your home or down the block, or as a low rumbling or droning sound, it's often perceived louder at night than during the day and louder indoors than outdoors. The description also claims, however, that sufferers hear it wherever they are, which was consistent with
Larson's experience. Kumherl -Nan -Elen -Siar, the local council on the Isle of Lewis confirmed receiving reports from other islanders about low frequency sounds and said that the environmental health team is investigating the situation as reported by the BBC. That said, Kirtley, in conversation with the Times, said they are now pretty certain that whatever is causing this has a marine source and is likely impacting marine wildlife. It makes it even more important that the source is traced
and the hum is silenced for good. It remains to be seen whether the group will actually hone in on the source of the reported hum. and what experts will have to say about it. End of article at that point. Chelsea, have you checked out the website? Oh, yeah. Can I just read? So there's there's dots all over the place indicating one person that has heard a hum. Oh, OK. Yes, I'm actually. Hey, one person in Colona heard it. There's even one person in. Where is this? It's
off the coast of Portugal. This has to be either Spain or something. big fan of the questionnaire like right in the middle of the ocean yeah villa de corvo so listen what's your age please describe the sound low hum changing pitch between two tones how much effort have you put into looking for the source of the sound some what is your gender male please list any scientific or technical training you have none what year did you first notice the hum 2012 by the way this is like fort
