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.

The earth has a magnetosphere. It is because of basically a generator being formed by the molten iron core and the layers above rotating at slightly different rates...
Ever taken the Hoover Dam tour? What did you hear in the generator room? My Occam’s Razor explanation.
I live on the eastern shore of Maryland...used to hear a mysterious hum all the time...now just occasionally.
The noise is not weird. Humans apply the adjective “weird” to a natural phenomenon in an attempt to get people to read stupid articles.
“The Earth is making a weird noise, and researchers have no idea why”
I don’t hear anything.
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space cuz there’s bugger all down here on Earth!
Yeah, I have always thought the same way.
RIP, George.
It is from all the LIBs whining and crying.
When sleeping out under the stars on a
Quite night, not enough breeze to move
an Aspen leaf
No coyotes yipping, nothing rattling the
Bushes.
You lay there wondering if there is such
a thing as absolute silence and then you
Hear it, a low hum mixed with a higher one.
I don’t see no reason that it could not be
heard in maryland, what did you think it was?
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.

And the cup of coffee I’m drinking isn’t sloshing out all over. It’s truly amazing.
*rimshot*
Had no clue what it was...still wondering. We’re not far from Dover Air Force base and I assumeed it originated from there...thatand the dozens of “sky guys” around here every night. Don’t know what those are, either.
