The Hum

[Rashiminos]

The denizens of Chelyabinsk had a sneak preview last February.

Around 1:30 this morning, I heard The Hum.

It lasted for about an hour. I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep when I noticed an unusual sensation. I rolled over, sat up, walked around the room, looked out the window, nothing changed its power. I didn't feel like I was "hearing" it, per se, but it was definitely not blood in my ear vessels nor tinnitus, both of which I have experienced many times. It was extremely low frequency, sort of like that initial sound you hear when a helicopter is approaching and you are indoors. Its omnipresence made it feel like it was literally inside my head, I imagine a few more hours of that and I might have gone insane. Other rooms in the apartment offered no relief or change, the only thing which did change it was stepping onto the balcony, which I did to see if there was some large boat moving up the Clyde, or some other discernible industrial origin of the Hum. There was not, although it did seem louder outside, but less intense, if that makes any sense at all.

Wow! It must be The Hum indeed since that is exactly like some friends of me described it. "Louder outside but less intense", they said inside it was more like pure vibration which could be felt with the whole body.

Are you at Glasgow? the Hum have been heard around there before:

People living in Largs, Scotland, a coastal town about 31 km west of
Glasgow, have been bothered by the Hum since the 1980s

(the descriprion given in that paper is exactly like the one you experienced)


...So looks like the Hum is more common at coastal places...
