Why is the hum getting louder/ stronger? date:2/17/2010

You may be closer to the truth than you realize.

The earth upon which we live is never still and it does indeed produce movement and sounds that are beyond what most of us can hear or feel.

Maybe the sounds are getting stronger or maybe we are becoming more sensitive, either way mother earth is becoming more agitated and we are seeing signs that she will make her message clear soon enough.

Interesting video of what is to come.

Sorry I lost this topic for a bit and had to find you all again. Reading ATS and being an active participant are two different things and I am still getting my bearings here!

I'm pretty sure it's not just a sound, too. Otherwise I wouldn't be the only one in my house to have heard and been affected by it. I've never heard any of the kids say anything to me about it and I don't ask them because if they aren't hearing it, I don't want to implant the idea of it into their awareness. I'm sure if any of them is being bothered by anything they would tell me, though. Trust me, if there's anything to complain about, these kids don't hold back.

I've never discused "THE Hum" with my neighbors but we have all remarked on how much activity by strange aircraft over our airspace is taking place these days. Our ground shakes and our windows rattle at least once a week from various kinds of planes and choppers flying overhead. Sometimes they are small jets. Sometimes very big dark choppers. We also have Google type craft that fly over taking pictures and mapping the area. Those usually are clearly marked, though, if you train binoculars on those you can see the markings. We do not live near what ever was traditional military flight paths or bases but since 9-11 everyone has noticed nothing is the same about the skies anymore. Even in parts of the Carolinas where we have some friends and family, there's activity that wasn't always there before.

Getting back to the nature of "The Hum" I think there's more than one kind. There is the kind that has a very plausible natural explanation like effects of surf on underground structures and caves. That kind seems to be heard and felt in what one could call a "normal" manner. Meaning everyone who is in the vicinity will hear it.

Then there's this "hum" that you and I and a few others are experiencing that don't seem to be perceived by anyone else that should reasonably be able to. I think in our case there was a change within US that makes us vulnerable. With you and myself, I wouldn't rule out changes wrought by our hormones--you with menopause, me with post-partum changes. That would explain why changing my brain chemistry and tampering with my neurotransmitters eased the problem for me.

The hum is probably something that has always been present in our environment. It may very well be what others here have defined for us--some natural "singing" of our planet or vibration that is perfectly natural for it. Normally we can't perceive it, but with changes in the body chemistry we become attuned to it.

I have a lot more I can give about my background experiences with this. You asked about my previous paranormal experiences and yes around the time I experienced the hum at its worst, I experienced a whole host of other issues as well, which are often discussed here at ATS. It's a bit off topic though but I'll get back to you on that. I have to run in a moment as everyone is getting back from an outing and the house will be once again filled with the hum of kid chaos.

I did at one time consider if it was part of some nefarious govt. research or manipulation but I ruled that out as highly unlikely, though at the time I felt so awful I felt surely it had to be intentional torture. But if it were, I doubt I would have been able to seek out a cure so easily and live a very mundane normal life post-hum! On further consideration, I think the hum I hear/feel now has more to do with TMJ (jaw and bite issues) than the original hum.

I'm so glad and impressed you are doing this. A while back, I had contacted the local university (FAU) hoping someone would investigate, but no one ever called back. Maybe they did send someone out here, for a couple of months after I called, about once a week I noticed a black pick-up truck parked at the same spot with a man in his 50's wearing a bandana on his head, wearing reading glasses and he appeared to be taking notes. One day, I came home at an unusual time and caught him off guard as I drove past his truck I looked right at him and he left right away. I was going to ask him who he was and why he parked there on a regular basis. I got the distict impression he was monitoring something. Was it the hum or just the drug deals going on in this not so wonderful area? I hope it was the hum...

I agree, I think something is very wrong with our little planet... Whether the hum is a symptom or a man made problem, who knows?

reply to post by NightSkyeB4Dawn


The thought has crossed my mind that this hum is due to something getting ready to happen but then some of you, especially you, NightSkyeB4Dawn, have been hearing the hum for so long, much longer than most.

Is the earth about to rearrange itself? I wish we knew already so we stop wasting time thinking about this and wondering about the cause.

Hey there darlin, what it sounds like it is Tinnitis, possibly an easy cure.

www.quietrelief.com... try this or a similar product out and come back if it doesnt change anything.

reply to post by NightSkyeB4Dawn


The sounds of our planet are not the sound itself but the interpretations of the microwaves they produce.

there was a show on coast to coast about the power grid and how power lines negatively affect people they were talking about something called "stray electrical currents" and the humming you were talking about is one of the side effects of stray electricity you should see if you live by power lines and also check Google also go on YouTube and you should be able to find the coast to coast interview.

I have tinnitus. It's the result of firing a gun without ear protection. Just once was all it took. Always wear protection when you fire a gun. Lesson learned.

So I have all this little whistling background noise all the time and I'm used to that. I know that's tinnitus and it was diagnosed by a specialist. The hum for me, and I am guessing but can't speak for NotKnowing, is kind of something you feel in the whole body. It's like a big engine idling somewhere in the distance. It can rattle your bones, your nerves. It goes beyond nerve damage in the ears.

If it were tinnitus, my hum wouldn't have gone away, because the whistle/whine that IS definitely tinnitus has remained constant. If it were stray electricity--okay maybe if the cause were something other than power lines, I guess it could come and go. But the powerlines that cut through our community aren't near my house and they certainly haven't moved anyway. So that leaves my hum experience still a mystery.

I can tell you it's something perceived almost like part of you is stuck in another dimension. Gosh, how do I explain it. When I perceived it, ALL of my senses were altered as well. I think an autistic person would understand. I had read some comments from Temple Grandin and her descriptions of her perceptions and how they differ from a non autistic person really struck a chord with me. Here's a sample of how she perceives things differently: www.grandin.com...

I'm not autistic nor on the autistic spectrum but at the time I was being treated for post-partum psychosis (during which time I still remained quite rational and reasonable, by the way) my perceptions were definitely altered from the way I experience sensory input now. I wish I were a more articulate person so I could explain.

The way I perceived light and shadow and sound and scent and touch all altered for me. The way I emotionally reacted was different. The reason the doctor tacked on "psychosis" instead of simple "depression" was because I was perceiving things that nobody else was and could verify. So I was classed as having "hallucinations", both visual and auditory.

In terms of visual, I was seeing little sparkly lights all over the house. The cats seemed to be chasing them as well but I couldn't really be sure. When my baby started talking a little she would point at them and say "light" but she was too young for us to verify she was seeing what I was seeing.

A couple of times I saw large shadows near the ceiling in a couple of rooms. One resembles a possible hoax photo shown in another topic on ATS about shadow people, whatever those are. The other seemed to swoop down over me when I using the changing pad on the bed, changing the baby's diaper. I screamed and bent over to scoop up the baby and ran out to my husband in another part of the house. The best I can describe the experience is like a large manta ray swam right over us. It had that approximate shape and dark color and seemed solid. It happened so fast.

I was plagued with feeling like one and oftentimes many people were standing around or behind me. I felt cold spots in the house that nobody but my sister-in-law could feel. My mother and sister-in-law did complain about feeling "presences" during a couple of visits. My mom said it was only fleeting for her. My sister-in-law said it was persistent for her. No other visitors felt anything.

I also had a couple of brief experiences of time or events seeming to replay in a loop. That was freaky. I'm so glad to have it all over and pray it stays that way.

Need to clarify, since my above post was too darned long to specify further. When I say "otherwise my hum wouldn't have gone away" I need to explain what I mean. Well as I said before, it's not completely away. Once in a great while I feel it fairly strongly, usually as I'm waking up. At this state I'm awake, but in a state reminiscent of how I felt during that time of post partum whatever-it-was. Hey--that's sort of it...that time period was like being in a very extended state of how it feels to be in between being awake and asleep.

Othertimes I think I still perceive it but in a faint way.

I am truly sorry for such long posts on this subject. It has been a struggle to find the right words to convey the experience so I ended up probably using too many of the wrong words.

Yes i cant wait till i get the equipment.
tonight even as i type at nearly 3AM the hum is so loud i have had
to come online just to occupy myself as i cant bear it!

sooner the council send the stuff the sooner WE ALL may get
a little closer to the truth.
I still think this is some large engine generator unit somewhere
and the sound /vibration is traveling through the ground and resonating
with the structure of my flat.

i just want it stopping as it is getting me so agitated i do wonder
if this IS some goverment sponsored experiment,funny how the
frequency just so happens to get me mad and aggressive.

Your experiences sound more like a haunting... But, then again, who knows what the hum really is? Ibelieve that the time is near when the evil forces will be allowed to be in control. Deception is "his" specialty. Maybe this hum is part of the deception or it will lead to it.

Do you remember the moment when you first sensed the hum? Did you feel anything? For me, first came the weird sensation in my ears and brain and then the nausea. Did you experience any nausea? I knew it was something beyond anything else I had ever experienced in my life. It felt more like some kind of energy going through me than just hearing a sound. Plus, when the 2 dogs started acting scared out of their minds, I knew it wasn't just me. On monday my one remaining dog passed away. He was 14. Now he can truly rest in peace. He stopped sleeping inside the house when the hum started back in September of 2008. So, for the last almost 2 years he slept outside even when it was hot because he could not stand to be inside for long at night. He had prostate cancer. My other dog died last year of a hemagiosarcoma of the spleen at 11 years of age.

reply to post by notknowing


My dog died of bone cancer within 3 years of my experience with the hum. But his breed is prone to it. He was always happy go lucky and did not seem affected by anything. I'm sad to hear how miserable this hum made your poor dog.

I don't think I was the victim of a haunting, precisely, but now as I reread my posts I realize somehow my brain chemistry must have gotten stuck in a state that is very similar to what a person's brain chemistry normally looks like in that state between first coming out of sleep and being fully awake. That would explain how one dream I had seemed to continue a bit even after I was fully one hundred percent definately awake and out of bed.

It was a very freaky dream where intruders burst into my bedroom. They seemed dressed like doctors, about 5 in number with a middle aged woman and a middle aged man, bald with a fringe of dark hair around his head. These were the only two who spoke anything definite I could make out. They were talking about transferring something from me to my sleeping baby. Some sort of "power." As I bounced out of bed to confront them, I fully woke up and then they vanished. I thought to myself "Whoa, what the heck was that dream all about?" and checked on the baby and saw she was fine. Relieved, I set about to make the bed, and as I pulled the covers aside to fluff up the pillows I looked down and saw the disembodied head of the balding man. The head rolled to look up at me, I screamed, slammed a pillow down on it and pushed down for a bit, lifted the pillow and beheld absolutely nothing! I've often throughout my life had bizarre experiences in the state of being between sleep and wakefulness but that was the first time it ever continued when I was absolutely certain I was fully awake. But it's not surprising given how altered my overall brain chemistry was at that time. I don't for a moment believe it was anything but a dream, though. I'm certain that's all it was and it was only unusual in that it persisted into my wakeful state as long as it did. I was breastfeeding the baby so I was not on any medication at that time. I refused even the painkillers that were prescribed and deemed safe for me.

In answer to your question about the hum, I did not experience nausea that I can remember. Keep in mind I'd just had a baby when this all started so I was feeling lousy all around. I may very well have been nauseous but given the tremendous pain I was in recovering from a very difficult labor and emergency delivery, in addition to bouts of recurring mastitis, nausea was something I could have overlooked.

I DO remember the hum at times reverberated all through me. I tried to run a HEPA air filter on high setting so the white noise would drown out the hum but it didn't help very much. Only a very little.

Anyway I didn't mean to take this so far off topic but I am only recounting the story of my strange dream and all those issues in case there's anything in what I went through that you can identify with. Are you having any sort of other health issues going on? Are you having anything going on that indicates your senses are altered or that you may be processing sensory input differently than you used to before this hum started getting to you? I'm not trying to insinuate the hum is all in your mind. I believe it exists as a seperate phenomena for whatever reasons. I just think there has to be something healthwise that triggers the ability to perceive it and be negatively impacted by it.

I just realized you said your one dog passed away on Monday. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I have been reading a lot about end-time scenarious, prophecies and of course what the warnings are in the Bible. I'm not sure what to make of it all but I agree we always need to be on our guard against deception and manipulation.

reply to post by SheeplFlavoredAgain


Thank you for your kind words. As far as health isssues I may have, I know of none for sure... Lately, I have been having a slight ache sensation in the area where gallbladder used to be (taken out in 2004 due to stones) but other than that, just the occasional headache. Today, for example I woke up with one and also noticed the hum was slightly stronger than usual. The air here has been very hazy due to dust from Africa blowing this way. Maybe that caused the headache, who knows.

Sadly, both my mother and father died due to "brain problems". My mother due to Alzheimer's and my father died young due to a cerebral hemorrage. There's always that slight fear that something is not right with my brain...I could have inhereted a weakness or defect. Maybe a defect is what is allowing my brain to sense the hum. Maybe we are not supposed to sense this hum, but some of us do because of an abnormality in our brain that allows it.

I wish I knew why at times it gets stronger. I wonder sometimes if it means something bad is about to occur. Like a strong earthquake.

reply to post by notknowing


Funny you should mention earthquake. We got one here last week. Never had one here before and as far as I know never had our state let alone our county be the epicenter for the earthquake.

I hope you're doing well. I got caught up reading some other topics and forgot to check this one. Once again, sorry to go on and on about my past issues. I was hoping if anything was familiar to you, we could build on it. I do hope you check in with maybe an endocrinologist or gynecologist to see how your hormone levels are. I know we women sometimes are hesitant to bring hormones into the discussion because we end up stigmatized as "hormonal". But I know it's at the crucial times of puberty, pregnancy, post-pregnancy and menopause that the body and brain chemistry go through significant upheaval. Sometimes nothing significant happens as a result, and at other times we can end up with a whole range of symptoms. Regardless of whether the hum is "real" in an objective sense, or something misfiring in your nervous system, it is something that is affecting your nervous system and your serenity. Don't give up trying to find some respite from it.

I remember how the hum broke my concentration, my rest, and my peace of mind. It goes beyond merely annoying. I truly sympathize and hope you get some relief from it.

I truly don't believe hormones are involved in being able to sense the hum.
Hormones can't be the reason since my child and both my dogs (both died of cancer) could sense it. What about all the men who can also sense it? And, I had been already "hormonal" for a few years before this hum started for me. What about the pump which I'm pretty sure was affected by whatever causes this hum? It was soon after the pump failed near my house that I started sensing this hum on September 23, 2008.

Sorry... I don't buy the tinnitus or hormone theory.

reply to post by notknowing

all sorts of things can cause this i guess and sometimes sound seems
to travel in mysterious ways.
air hoses
sounds coming from a ham radio operator's station
water running under ground
activity on a ship off shore
late night cleaning of parking lots by sweepers
an experiment or building construction on a military base
transformer making a lot of humming noises
small wind turbine looking things on top of houses can hum i think
has a new industry moved in etc?
the haarp solution makes me wonder..really does.

I'm older and once when a teen I kept hearing alternate tones like
maybe a modern day computer would make etc..never did find the
source but maybe local ham operator's radio or the wellpump of
a neighbor. I kept walking around the wooded area around the house
and I know I heard something..luckily i quit hearing it.
hope you don't have to take a vacation in order to quit hearing the hum.

reply to post by notknowing

this is reading almost like a scifi movie..you expect something to pop
out of the woodwork..aliens or something but alas that is my imagination.
I'm indeed sorry you've been in this alone. There are some good thinkers here, better than I that is for sure. One of my first thoughts that it
was earth changes causing this..egads..sure hope you are not picking
up on harmonic tremors or something..I shutter to think !! they say
some few are sensitive to earth signals before a quake occurs.

Glad to see this thread come up again. The hum was so loud and irritating last night, I could not sleep. I tossed and turned, covered my ears, and finally gave up. I kept opening the door to outside to see if there was something outdoors making the noise, but I couldn't find an answer.
