3457 - The worldwide hum


So can you hear it? The worldwide hum. A low frequency background hum that never does away? If I sit in a quiet enough place with no extra background noise I can hear a low frequency hum. It's not the slight tinnitus that I have. That's a higher pitch. This is very low and almost inaudible.

I saw an article on the hum HERE. It's a long article for the internet but it has a lot of information.


Location of people that have reported the hum.







If you're ambidextrous the chance of you hearing the hum goes up eight fold.

It's not just the previous article that has info on the hum. Here are some more URLs.

I wonder why it's correlated with being ambidexter?

I have heard of this.
There are people around the world that are super sensitive to the low frequency hum and suffer constant headaches because of it.

I can't hear you hum if you're sitting next to me.
