The Earth is making a weird noise, and researchers have no idea why
yahoo ^ | Mike Wehner

Posted on 12/08/2017 8:04:23 PM PST by BenLurkin

The sound which the planet produces is a low, steady, unceasing hum. Scientists have been attempting to record and explain the odd noise as far back as the late 1950s, with little concrete data to suggest its source. Now, new research published in Geophysical Research Letters is attempting to explain why it happens, and scientists think it might have something to do with the ocean.

...

This newest study is the first to actually record the sound from deep beneath the ocean’s waves. By recording ambient sound within the ocean and then using robust noise cancelling techniques to strip away the sound of the ocean itself, scientists were left with only the sound. They were able to confirm that the noise is completely continuous and, over nearly a year of observation, did not vary significantly.

But what actually causes it? Well, the jury on that is still out, but various theories have been proposed. One of the more plausible explanations is that the Earth’s hum is actually acoustic resonance. Acoustic resonance, which is the process by which objects of similar natural frequency will vibrate in sync with each other even if they’re not directly touching, could cause the Earth to produce a continuous vibration, some scientists believe, but others aren’t so sure.

😭. Erf tears causing sea level rise? Odd, the Dutch figured it it out a long time ago without modern equipment. 🤔

If a bag of rocks is spinning on its axis it also might make a humming noise

My guess is, the earth is emitting a hum in response to electrical energy put out by the sun.

I expect AL Gore or one of his many earth worshipping disciples to emerge and say the earth is suffering from too many people on it. To satisfy the GAIA earth god we need to make offerings to it via his prophet AL GORE who alone has the secret prayers & incantation.

All offerings must not be less than $10 Billion per month from all countries (which is a real bagain at just overy $1 per person per month). Cash from foreign nations are accepted and subject to a 15% conversion fee and a 8.5% remittance fee. Gold is the only precious metal accepted as payment and only subject to a 9% handling fee. Bitcoins and other crypto currencies are not yet accepted

“Never heard of it before, but applying 20/20 hindsight, with everything that goes on inside the earth, tectonic movements, magma convection, crust heaving and bending from tidal forces, ocean waves and whatnot, it would be more surprising if the earth was completely silent”.

Thread Winner!

When I was kid back in the early forties
I heard a humming sound a lot of the time
Mostly at night when sleeping out side when
Every thing was still.

Wounded, Old and Treacherous [Jethro Tull]

A walk on the quiet side, late in the day
Don’t mean to get in anybody’s way.
The Gods seem willing: sun’s in the sky.
Old crows cawing as the straight crows fly.
There was a time when love was the law.
There was a time for the tooth and the claw.
Last rites given, no holds barred.
Heaven Express on my credit card.
Now let me draw the jungle line
I won’t cross yours if you don’t cross mine.
Won’t make trouble, I don’t need no fuss.
But I’m wounded, old and I’m treacherous.
Allow me to draw the jungle line
You cross it once, you cross some friends of mine.
They won’t make trouble, they don’t need no fuss
But they’re wounded, old and they’re treacherous.
In the crisp of evening, on sacred ground
Ghosts of fathers pushing moonbeams round.
Big cats prowling inside your head -
They left for China; better left for dead.
Let me draw the jungle line
I won’t cross yours if you don’t cross mine.
Won’t make trouble, I don’t need no fuss.
But I’m wounded, old and I’m treacherous.
A walk on the quiet side, late in the day
Don’t mean to get in anybody’s way.
The Gods seem willing: sun’s in the sky.
Old crows cawing as the straight crows fly.
There was a time when love was the law.
There was a time for the tooth and the claw.
Last rites given, no holds barred.
Heaven Express on my credit card.
Living mountains going to shake that town
Big mother calling you from underground.
She don’t want trouble, she don’t need no fuss.
But she’s wounded, old and treacherous.

Keep in mind that we are spinning.

The core is spinning at a different rate than the crust.

The solar system is spinning.

The Milky Way Galaxy is spinning.

I hear a hum in my ears 24/7 for over twenty years.

When I meditate, the frequency of the hum changes as my consciousness changes frequency.
