Drug dealers or AlQ tunneling under the border?

They only hear it because they use the metric system up there. When you convert the decibels into english, the hum goes away. Don’t even ask me about how it sounds in Quebec!

It’s just Emineim rapping to the sound of jobs leaving Detroit.

That’s the noise emitted by the National Debt Clock. The numbers are spinning so fast they are sending out a continuous sonic boom.

It’s even peeling paint off of houses in Texas.

The audio recording on the video at the link sounds like a "beat" (interference) frequency between several low frequencies.

Closest thing I've heard to it was a near-subsonic (window-rattling) vibration in a residential area in Texas city , Texas. The source was a long, slab-floored building in the nearby Union Carbide plant that held over a dozen, huge, natural gas-fueled reciprocating (piston) air compressors that supplied "process air" to the plant.

The compressors ran at similar, but not identical, RPMs -- and the ever-present "beat frequencies" created and transmitted through the marshy coastal soil would have made it hard for me to live in that neighborhood.

~~~~~~~~~

I was on the crew that replaced that whole bank of reciprocating compressors with a single, (vibrationless) gas-turbine powered turbo-compressor.

Curiously, when we fired up the new compressor and turned off the old ones, folks in the neighborhood (many still "spooked" from having lived through the 1947 SS Grandcamp explosion/disaster) went berserk -- "because something was missing!".

Quite a number of families finally moved elsewhere - because of the silence...

It’s the Taos Hum. Obviously, someone relocated it to Detroit.

(Sheesh)

Also, if you want to delve into lots of tinfoil hattery, try looking info on Dulce, New Mexico. It’s an unassuming little town in northern NM, but it has quite a colorful reputation.

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.

it sounds like a large diesel truck idling

Based on the numbers of semis that cross the border at both the bridge and tunnel, it probably is.......
