Scientists have captured a mysterious hum coming from deep inside the Earth, but they are still no closer to working out what it is.
It has long been known that the Earth constantly generates a low-frequency vibrational signal.
The first attempt to detect this hum was made in 1959, but it wasn't until 1998 that scientists finally proved its existence.
Since then, there have been hundreds of attempts to record the Earth's hum, but they have all been made using seismometers on land.

I hear that at night when it’s quiet.....the earth rotates on tapered roller bearings and there are a few grains of sand in the bearing race that makes the hum. No problem, it will probably last another 1000 years or so.

As long as it doesn’t start singing we’re okay.....

Fortunately, I have a bit of a hearing loss, so I will not be bothered by the hum.

People even prior to biblical times, mined for various minerals, and knew the deeper you go, the hotter it gets. Not much of an intellectual leap to extrapolate from that.
