Earth Keeps Pulsating Every 26 Seconds. No One Knows Why.
Popular Mechanics ^ | 10/30/2020 | CAROLINE DELBERT

Why is Earth pulsating every 26 seconds, and why can’t scientists explain it after 60 years? This is an enigma wrapped in a periodically predictable mystery motion. It could be a harmonic phenomenon, a regular seismic chirp caused by the sun’s energy, or a beacon drawing scientists to its source to begin a treasure hunt.

➡ The world is weird. We'll show you how it works.

In the early 1960s, a geologist named Jack Oliver first documented the pulse, also known as a "microseism," according to Discover. Oliver, who worked at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory at the time, heard the noise, but didn't have the advanced instruments seismologists have now at his disposal.

Since then, scientists have spent a lot of time listening to the pulse and even finding out where it comes from: “a part of the Gulf of Guinea called the Bight of Bonny,” Discover says.

here are various high frequency dog whistle hums, from #1 to #8. Do any resemble what you heard?

Well since it’s Mother Earth, maybe Laz is hitting it.

Umm ... If I were a dog I could hear them all, but alas I’m not. Those are whistles not ‘hums’. The Hum is supposed to be 30-40hz range. Some say is earthquake generated - I have no idea if that’s true or not.

Russian Woodpecker sound
Russian Military voice in clear - you can hear one guy reading off a 5 day pad

Tank traffic was in the 5 hz range - the above sounds like regular traffic between troop units.

There don’t seem to be any recordings of the sound you’d hear without breaking the PPM signal out into separate channels. I do remember there is a timing pulse (sort of like ding ding ding ding) repeated between on set of traffic and another until new traffic transmitted. I cannot write what it sounded like - a jumble of sound clicks buzzes hums dings all intermixed.

It is possible to hand wind copper to the right freqs to break all that out, but you’d have to know it was there in the first place - plus most of what you’d get is encrypted. Only once in a while there would be a high level voice communication on one channel - which was supposed to be for maintenance - but the generals and politicians seemed to disregard that

Heat and pressure deep inside the earth, transforming carbon into fossil fuels, that bubble to the surface.

Perhaps related to the phenomenon of the only erupting active volcano in western Africa, Mt Cameroon, which was described in the Periplus of Hanno, and called "Chariot of the Gods" (where Von Danniken got the idea, i suspect).
