WINDSOR, Ontario – Last month, Bob Dechert, a senior aide to Canada's foreign minister, was dispatched to Detroit with an important diplomatic mission: to stop a highly-annoying noise.
The so-called Windsor hum, described as a low-frequency rumbling sound, has rattled windows and knocked objects off shelves in this border community just across the Detroit River from the Motor City. Locals have said it sounds like a large diesel truck idling, a loud boom box or the bass vocals of Barry White.
Residents in Windsor, Ontario, have blamed the hum for causing illness, whipping dogs into frenzies, keeping cats housebound and sending goldfish to the surface in backyard ponds. Many have resorted to switching on their furnace fan all season to drown out the noise.
Even weirder, Americans cannot seem to hear it. Canadians find that suspicious -- especially since their research suggests the hum is coming from the Yankees' side -- and accuse US officials of staying silent over the noise.

I would think that finding the source of the sound would be a great project for the nearest university with decent geology/earthquake department. They would certainly have the equipment sensitive enough to pick up on the vibrations and localize them to a particular area. Has anything been happening on that front?

Has any kind of serious scientific study taken place? If it's that big a story one would think that such an investigation would have taken place.Hey,I've heard Red Green and Ranger Gord speak of space aliens.Maybe they were on to something! ;-)
That has been shut down.
Why would that have been shut down? Don’t we need to have secret communications with far-flung fleets everywhere? Or has new technology made this obsolete?
Bill Clinton has a shack out deep in the woods where he receives a hummer.
I remember a show I saw about a similar thing back in the 60s. It was also in Canada and they were trying to blame it on American nuclear submarines sneaking around at night in the lake. They spent a lot of money and time trying to catch the villains and it turned out to be some species of fish making all the noise.
Based on the numbers of semis that cross the border at both the bridge and tunnel, it probably is.......
He said the ELF system was dismantled about ten years ago. The replacement systems are much more efficient.
