As i have lived in a location where this(or something that sounded like it) was audible, i'm wondering if anyone else has heard it or heard of it?

Yep, it exists. I can't tell you why, or what causes it, but I have heard the Taos Hum myself. Everybody has a theory on this one, and most of them are terrible.

What's yours?

LOL OK, you asked for it.

I think we hav a bizarre combination of effects and geology coming together to make this noise. It was reported long before the modern technological age, so it isn't a nuke plant, etc. I believe that wind and geological conditions (very loose and shifty rock with many caves), combined with several large and rapidly moving underground streams, are making a vibrating type noise, and the mountain itself is acting as a resonance chamber, which makes it loud enough to hear.

There ya go. My totally uneducated wild assed guess. Told ya it was terrible!

It's the Harmony of Spheres, or it's magnetic resonance from the big bang.

Isn't there a site that roars someplace in Conniticut?

You mean the Kennedy Compound?

I've not experienced it myself, but it's out there. Some blame ELF transmitters as the culprits.

Elves?

Damn Santa! Jolly fat bastard is fooling us all with the Elf transmitter!

have you ever rubbed an elf really really hard on the ground?...terrible sound!

Extremely low frequency. I thought you have more fun with the abbreviation though.

I once rubbed an elf really hard on the groin. Didn't make a peep.

I think I have heard it before, at a site in PA. I was somewhere that I shouldn't have been, and remember a distant sound that resembled the low rumble of a diesel. It never varied much in intensity, and was present the whole time I was there 3+ hours. I assumed it was a diesel generator after a bit, but it was strange.

Ive read about this too been going on since the early 90s and the smart money is on ELF emissions and submarine com stuff but not everyone calls it a hum, seems like theres a similar story/anomaly of a "rumbling" sound reported coming from the Manzano Mtns allegedly some top secret stuff hidden up there, Jonsered?

(personally I think the whole states haunted or possessed) or its the Masons maybe...

The hum in Taos has been around a lot longer than the 90's. I personally heard it in high school, so figure at least early 80's. I hadn't head anything about the Manzano Mountains, but its possible. I think it actually started too early to be legit government activity. I just have this weird feeling its natural.

Ad far as the whole state being possessed and haunted, you'll get no argument from me.

And as for the damn masons....................

I first learned of it in the 90s from amateur radio magazines and chit chat on the local 2 meter net

so what I recall was the submarines could receive elf frequencies from a long wire trailed in the water AND from rf radiated from, are you ready,

the freaking earths mantle!

sounded plausible I spose instead of atmospheric rf it was bedrock rf and lots of oms and ex mil types on the net swore it was true but how would they know/

unless they were trying to divert attention away from the real source,

TEH MASONS!

yeah, there are longwave transmitter stations. there's one on the eastern seaboard that has an underground antenna that's something like 400 miles long. it's an emergency broadcast system for subs or something like that, nothing major. long wavelength=low bandwidth. as for the hum, I hear that all over the place, guess what guys, the earth is noisy, that's just part of it. the reason the hum is hard to pick up with a microphone is due to it's low intensity and low frequency, mics aren't designed for the very bottom end of the spectrum like that. you'd have more luck with a geophone or accelerometer, and the people on that website should know this.

Taos NM has one of Dick Cheney's summer homes, so obviously it's the generator for his nuclear bunker or the elevator into the hollow earth!

There's also a ton of active mines under and around the mountains behind Taos, I wonder how many of these "Hum sites" have mines nearby.


And as a side note, Taos has a really cool earthship community which can probably provide conspiracy nutters with tons of fun, but please don't bug the hippies too much.

Posted by Freak , but please don't bug the hippies too much.

Jonsered may know more about this but Ive had peace loving earthship hippie types come out and run me off "their BLM land" more than once

so what are they hiding the soil aint no good for dope farmin!
