On: There's a Persistent Hum in Windsor, Ontario, and No One Knows Why

Can you located it -- it's coming from the ground? air? direction?

[sbarre → hellbanner]

Wikipedia says that it is in fact Zug Island:

The Wikipedia page mentions this but doesn't make the obvious connection to the cause of the vibrations...

> it served as an uninhabited Native American burial ground for thousands of years

Well damn ... Punishment for my ancestors stealing their land and whatnot ... seems fair through that lens ... should make my decent into madness a tad more comforting

descent*, FYI!

Too low frequency to localise ... think heavy bass

Has there been an attempt to trilaterate/triangulate the sound? Should be fairly simple to rig up several recording devices in sync around, and use timing/loudness to get an idea of origin, despite the large wavelength.

Yes

> We note that the bearing from Array 1 to the most probable source of the Hum points well to the South of Zug Island.

> The bulk of our observations from both stations do not support the hypothesis that the source of the Hum emanates from Zug Island
