I entered my data for zip code 92397 today on the World Hum Map and Database Project web site.

The web page said it could take several weeks for my data to show up on the World Hum Map.

I did a 923 (zip code) search and had 17 hits. Of those 17 hits there were reports from Colton, Victorville, Hesperia, Fontana and Crestline. Also found Palmdale and Lancaster on separate searches.

Yours is most likely the first for Wrightwood.

It appears that the last entry on the database is 6-3-16 so it does take 2-3 weeks.

Thanks Wrightwood, I hope that people who have heard the hum input their data as it would be helpful to compare notes.

I have also heard this hum. It has been a few months, but I remember getting out of bed, walking around the house, and then going outside trying to figure out what it was. I then went back to bed and forgot about it until I read this posting. I will listen for it and if I hear it again, I will post it on the website. Interesting articles.

I hear this usually in the mornings. Not every single morning, but many early mornings. It drives me nuts. I even shut off the power thinking it may have been electrical. The noise was still there. We are on Table Mountain in Big pines.

Does anyone think it could be seismic?

Tall Trees · « **Reply #87 on:** Jul 21, 16, 09:14:35 PM »

It could be? Perhaps it is just that the low frequency noise is produced by civilization and metropolitan areas. Look at the world wide map and some similarities quickly are apparent. The low frequency noise is heard all over the Earth in metropolitan areas and along Earthquake faults. Perhaps Humans and their activities and movements results in a change of the natural vibrations of nature and causes those that are sensitive enough to hear it.

Well said tall. Or it could be our imagination. Sometimes it's so quite here, our minds fill it with noise.

The Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise not audible to all people.

I heard the Windsor Hum turned out to be a blast furnace on that island between Windsor and Detroit. Infrasound can pool, especially given all the hard rock around here. There are a few surface mines near here down in the desert, could be something along those lines.

The hum seems very strong and persistent today. I have not heard for a while until today.

Wrightwood · « **Reply #94 on:** Aug 25, 16, 05:50:28 PM »

Has anyone ever checked and heard it at the bottom of Lone Pine Canyon?
Just thinking about the high pressure gas lines down there.

There is skepticism as to whether it exists as a physical sound. In 2009, the head of audiology at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, David Baguley, said he believed people's problems with the hum were based on the physical world about one-third of the time, and stemmed from people focusing too keenly on innocuous background sounds the other two-thirds of the time. His current research focuses on using psychology and relaxation techniques to minimise distress, which can lead to a quieting or even removal of the noise.[12]

Geoff Leventhall, a noise and vibration expert, has suggested cognitive behavioral therapy may be effective in helping those affected.[13] "It's a question of whether you tense up to the noise or are relaxed about it. The CBT was shown to work, by helping people to take a different attitude to it."[14]

"It also may be a manifestation of tinnitus."

Anyone experiencing new or recent high frequency issues near Spruce and Apple?

MojaveSidecar · « **Reply #99 on:** Jan 10, 19, 03:38:41 PM »

I had a resident contact me about a month or two ago complaining of health issues that started immediately after Edison put up all the new transformers. He lives on the corner of Apple and Spruce.

I asked Susan Drake from Supervisor Lovingood's Office about what the resident should do and she said to contact the California Public Utilities Commission and that they would come out with monitoring equipment to check things out. I relayed this info back to the resident and have not heard anything since.
