The insistent low-frequency sound has been heard from Bristol to Swansea and ascribed to everything from horny fish to 5G \u2013 but the enigma itself is telling<\/p>\n

Maybe you hear it. A low frequency hum, almost a vibration, just on the threshold of human hearing. It\u2019s not particularly loud. In fact, you might not have even noticed it yet \u2013 but once you do, you can\u2019t stop hearing it. It sounds like a truck, idling on the street in front your house.

The earliest reliable reports of the Hum date from the UK in the mid-1970s, most notably from Bristol, when letters began appearing in the Bristol Evening Post about a low rumble heard by dozens of residents throughout the city. What began as an irritating if innocuous noise eventually drove many who heard it to distraction, and was said to be linked to two suicides.
