Earth Gives Off Mysterious Low Hum

Earth gives off a relentless hum of countless notes completely imperceptible to the human ear, like a giant, exceptionally quiet symphony, but the origin of this sound remains a mystery. Now unexpected powerful tunes have been discovered in this hum. These new findings could shed light on the source of this enigma.

What could be the source of these hums? This is very interesting. To be honest I've never heard of this.

Investigators suspect this murmur could originate from the churning ocean, or perhaps the roiling atmosphere.

I think that is the best explanation.

Also it's worth mentioning that these sounds can only be detected as vibrations through very sensitive seismographs.

If there is any semblance of a tune to be found then it would be by chance.

From chaos comes order, the most fundamental rule of nature.

Might be the Schumann (earth noise) resonance which currently is up from the normal 7 Hz to the now 7.8 Hz frequency. Supposedly anything above 8 Hz will be a problem. What kind of problem is not clear, but I do know our alpha brain waves maybe affected and cause some neural disturbance.

I would tell you all that it is the gravity that is given to us by the Sun. The path of gravity that the Earth follows around the Sun is changing. The Sun is changing it. This is making Earth a bit more powerful in the frequency range, it is also changing our weather. Earth is not the only planet in the solar system that is effected. All planets that use the Sun's gravity are changing.

Perhaps the same cause that makes the aurora borealis "hum"...?
(Electricity-related phenomena?)

But I wouldn't bet on Fox News to be familiar with natural phenomena.

The sun doesn't "give" gravity to the Earth. The Sun and Earth both have their own gravity fields. I do agree that maybe gravity could play a part in the cause of this sound though.

Which begs this question. Can we alter the earth's gravity if we alter this "hum"?

I wouldn't think so, since gravity is more or less a product of mass and not frequency vibration. String theory and extra dimensions notwithstanding.

'Supposedly' according to who? Can you link your sources?

Could it be the 'Hollow Earth' dwellers choir practice? Or maybe Steven Fosset trying to contact us from his location in the 'other frequency' as has been suggested by others.....
Forgive me. I'm in a silly mood today.

Have you googled it ?. If not, I did some time ago and no longer remember the link but there is alot of information explaining it.

Nay, I figured you'd have a link

but there is alot of information explaining it.

There is?

No, he spent some time Googleing it, so it must be true.

Obviously.

I heard once that the type of music aliens listen to is the music made by solar systems and galaxies... thought it was worth mentioning

Yes, I suggest you do a search either on your favorite search platform or google. That is, if you are genuinely interested in obtaining the knowledge.

Is that a diminutive form of sarcasm?

I was interested in obtaining the information, which is why I asked for a link

You say there is alot of information on it. If you cared to share knowledge with your fellow ATSers wouldn't you take the initiative to locate some of that "alot of information" if you genuinely cared about others learning what you learned?

Anyways, you are defensive and my intent was not to attack. I was just interested in learning more. It's more "deny ignorance" if you provide the info in the thread for more to see then me (one man) googling it

perhaps than, you missed my previous response to your link inquiry. Here it is again.

Did you see that part where I mention I no longer remember the link. All I can suggest other than have me hunt down a link I forgot but vaguely remember enough to create a comment from is to pick up on the opinion and do some self sluething for the information. Thats what I do when I read an interesting opinion or comment.

Not only does ATS deny ignorance, we also promote research into ideas presented that spark the mind to look further into its own desire to know by using the technology at ones fingers.

Google results for schumann resonance

Best regards,

I was merely thrown off by the fact that you said there was "alot of information" on it, but then you told me to search engine it. I was curious as to why you wouldn't yourself, and provide the info for all of us to see. But anyways, thanks for the....search engine

OK, I know it's Monday , so here ya go guys

en.wikipedia.org...
Schumann resonances (SR) are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth surface and the ionosphere.

This global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonance occurs because the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acts as a waveguide. The limited dimensions of the Earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves in the ELF band. The cavity is naturally excited by energy from lightning strikes. Schumann resonance modes are observed in the power spectra of the natural electromagnetic background noise, as separate peaks at extremely low frequencies (ELF) around 7.8, 14.3, 20.8, 27.3 and 33.8 Hz.

The human hearing ranges from 20 Hz to 20KHz

although the range is known to decrease with age...

as for the effects of sounds just outside that range... I'm not too sure, but i'm sure someone on here will know
