I’ve heard it postulated from time to time that these low-frequency noises are what homing pigeons use to find their way around.

I wonder if it’s possible for the scientists to record the sounds some way and speed them up so that we can hear them— make a symphony kind of like that guy did with “And God Created Whales”

Nah, I hovered :-)

Pretty funny, tho!

Good job......I have gone to hovering mode lately ALOT.

There’s too many new posters and who KNOWS what they’re up to! :)

Hovering is always safer, but the arms get sooooo tired! <8-)

Earth hums, Saturn speaks...

I actually understood what Saturn was saying. It said, "Kill your family. Kill your family."

Hey. Seems like a good idea. And if Saturn tells me to, I better. Gotta run.

Is it humming “Love me like a rock”?

Or "Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm" by the Crash Test Dummies.

“Maybe this noise is what animals hear and then move out of dangers way when earthquakes are imminent.......”

I believe that.

I personally witnessed that one night with my pets before an earthquake hit. At that moment, I did not realize an earthquake was about to hit. After it hit, I realized why their unusual, unorthodox behavior. They behaved quietly scared.
