Mystery humming noise in Ireland town causing "significant degree of discomfort" for residents

Could be a new version of the Eviltron.

Have they tried Google Assistant?

hey now, you can’t expect the air to pollute itself. we need gas powered leaf blowers

A lovely word: ‘hummadruz’ - a 19th Century creation for a quiet humming noise heard during still weather.

It’s Brexit or Brexit-related. According to my sources.

It’s more than just a noise you hear though, usually it’s accompanied by weirdness like lost time, or sudden inexplicable fear. It’s the sort of thing that is/was associated with fairies/elves/goblins/local spirits.
Basically, if you’re walking in the countryside, and you hear a strange buzzing (and you’re not next to a powerline), turn around and walk the other way. Unless you want to end up in fairyland.

Or maybe it’s just sunstroke.

Their analogy seems off.

A high-pitch (or high-frequency) sound would be like dropping a stone into the tub, you get little ripples. A low-pitch (or low-frequency) sound would be like dropping a bowling bowl into the tub, you get a big wave. The small ripples get stopped by the edge of the tub. The bigger wave— that could slosh right over.

This sounds like ( :wink: ) amplitude, not frequency.

Could be the local town’s forgotten deity waking up. Their Omagh God.

I wondered if it eventually included some harmony… :thinking:
