Topic: Taos Hum

Have any of you heard of the "Taos Hum"? There is another notorious "hum" called the "Kokomo Hum". I ran a search on this forum, and only found a minor reference to the latter.

Anyway, after we moved out to the country I noticed a "sound" similar to a semi's diesel engine running. I thought the neighbor who used to live next door was parking his semi cab in his driveway at night and sleeping in it, so as not to wake his family upon his nocturnal return.

One evening, though, I became quite annoyed at the drone of the "engine" and walked outside to see where the semi was. To my surprise, THERE WAS NO SEMI . . . AND THE NOISE WAS GONE!

After that experience I started doing some research and found some really creepy things going on. Evidently, the only place you can "hear" this hum is INSIDE the house (resonance frequency...?). Many people have shut off all their electricity, called the power company, jumped into their cars to triangulate the source, all to no avail! People who live in the middle of "nowhere", away from all traffic and city noise even experience it. Obviously, being a low frequency sound, it is very difficult to find the source (that's why subwoofers for a home theater system can be placed anywhere in the room). But no one has come up with anything concrete as of yet.

A little closer to home is something called the "Kokomo Hum". This incident had a lot more press (evidently this phenomenon is worldwide). Over 80 people sent letters to the mayor of Kokomo, and several of them moved away from the town. Even Senator Richard Lugar got involved. Ultimately, the mayor of Kokomo passed a bill to spend $100,000 to investigate this phenomenon, but to no end.

One of the residents hired a private accoustical engineer. He couldn't detect anything with his standard instruments, so had to modify the electronics (basically invent a new low frequency recording device), and finally found something interesting, about which he superficially told the lady, but said he was going to do some more investigating. She didn't hear from him for months, so called him and he said that he "really didn't find anything . . . "

People have lost countless hours of sleep, have had their health diminished, and ultimately as a result of this "hum" committed suicide.

I was on a forum for a short time that was dedicated to the exposition of this phenomenon. Some really freaky-weird things happened while on that forum. For sure there were spooks perusing it, and most possibly even hacking into it to modify past posts.

The explanations ranged from radio emissions from land-based triangulation towers (one to which I went on a road trip to "visit", it had a military base adjacent to it...took some photos, got the heck outta there!), to ELF transmissions to submarines (regular radio waves cannot penetrate water that far).

The only way to combat the "noise" is to have a fan running all night long (it's most prominent in the evening hours, for obvious reasons [it's quieter]). I actually made a CD that was a result of my humming an "anti-frequency" which negated it. I found the frequency of my own humming via a frequency generator, saved it to a "wav" file, and burned it to a CD.

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this...

Re: Taos Hum

Yes, I have at times experienced this hum in various places I've lived in NC. It has a very unsettling effect on me, causing the lack of sleep mentioned, and a sense of expectation that it will change any minute (such as a truck engine being turned off, or a large low-flying craft to finally move on) but it never does. It's hard to ignore or place outside one's conscious focus, so the sense of expecting/anticipating a change doesn't go away. A bit like the chronic adrenal dysfunction a roommate of mine experiences, actually. Also causes a feeling of urgency to do something to stop it... though no source is ever found.

On a bit of a side note, there is a new type of exhaust fan being manufactured for homes that has a very similar cycling as the hum in question (not sure how new, really, but I've only recently seen it advertised ad nauseum on TV by several different brand names. It's the same ad flashing a different company logo at the bottom each time - which is odd in itself)  I happen to live in a fairly newly built home and it has this exhaust system throughout. I absolutely can't abide it on in my house, though it is actually quite a lot "quieter" than any exhaust fan I experienced previous. It's quieter, yes, but insidiously droning at a certain sub-frequency that is irritating beyond description. Torturous, frankly.

Re: Taos Hum

I've experienced the "ghost diesel" quite often myself as well.  Many nights I could swear a truck was sitting right outside just idling, walked outside only to find out there was no truck.  Come back inside, "vrrvrrvrvr".  I finally figured it must be an effect of HAARP or something similar.

And I've often seen "waves" in the cloud layer above me, evenly spaced across the sky, seeming to eminate from a single source over the horizon somewhere.  I sometimes see this during the day, but more often in the moonlit hours.

I figure perhaps they're from the same thing.

For reference I live in the Northeast US, pretty near the coast, in a relatively suburban area (can still see stars pretty vivid on a clear night).

Re: Taos Hum

I had heard that years ago the Taos hum suddenly stopped.

Re: Taos Hum

I used to live in a town just outside New York City, and I would hear this hum at night when there was no other noise. I always figured it was just an electrical transformer or something. Sure did make me curious though. I live out in the country now and don't hear any kind of hum around here.

Re: Taos Hum

Hmm.  Interesting.  I noticed a constant hum when I lived in a suburb of Atlanta back in the 1990s.  It was incredibly annoying.  I never determined the source, but I was fairly close to an airforce base so that may have been related.  I was very glad to move from that area.

Also... this is not the same thing, but back when I had all my mercury amalgams removed about sixteen years ago, I was surprised to notice that a certain ringing noise that was constant before that had disappeared.  It was the electro-magnetic vibration that was created by two disimilar metals in an aqueous solution (saliva).  Before I had them removed, I just thought it was normal... but after it stopped, the difference was striking.

Re: Taos Hum

I've never noticed anything like that. Perhaps "they" don't care 'bout annoying 3rd world countries big_smile

Re: Taos Hum

Well, the people on this forum (http://amasci.com/hum/hum1.html) are from all over the world, from various socio-economic factions, and range from urban to rural areas.

I still hear this phenomenon, but have managed to subdue its effects.

Re: Taos Hum

sure, i wouldnt doubt it could be malicious doings of ELP, HAARP, or the like. and i do think that is partially true (or at least, i believe people be doing malicious shit like this) - but i also wouldnt doubt that with all the synthetic frequency emmissions we as humans are bombarding ourselves with every nanosecond (alot of these emmisions bounce back at us from the atmosphere etc...) keep bouncing around creating these damned feedback loops.

i dont know what it is, but lately ive gotten this notion that those people/entities that wish to be negative / sts (whatever u call it - "evil" bad etc...) seem to be obsessed with using 'negative feedback loops' like this ALOT. maybe its just me blowing smoke wink but i see it everywhere. these Hums could be resonance feedback loops caught from various frequencies over time, refracting and bouncing all over your house's wall much similar to how radio waves bounce in the atmosphere. ive heard similar hums too, never really noticed them till now , and im in Austin now. but im telling u , negative feedback loops (tm) - they (ab)use 'em, has anyone heard or thought about something like this? maybe i've mentioned it before.

and these feedback loops can be positive as well. perhaps they are used, in other ways, and known as other things already. we all know how powerful the circle is, the spiral, the loop and all its symbology.

From whence did you hear this? Just curious.
