Review (in 1996):

“The ‘Taos Hum’ is a low-pitched sound heard in several places across the U.S. and U.K.”, earning its name from the many reports received in New Mexico beginning 1991.  It is usually heard only in quiet environments, and is described as sounding like a distant diesel engine (its common “signature”).  “Since it has proven undetectable by microphones or VLF antennae, its source and nature is still a mystery”.

Wait, don’t laugh!  This quirky Web site isn’t much to look at, but the blend of solid scientific inquiry and off-the-edge speculation is fascinating.  Reports from “hummers” reveal as much of the mystery as they can (bio-iron in the brain tissue?), but it remains a big question mark.  There are clippings from both the straight and the “unconventional” press, revealing a sincere effort to help those unfortunate few who “sense” the hum.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
