Not the band, which is only Hum.
Interesting stuff I just read.
Now bring the creepy pasta and make a drone pedal, "the hum".

No, but I'd like to! That is seriously awesome! Earth should join ILF.

The earth oscillates at something like ~7hz as it rotates on its axis.
At least that's what I read somewhere. Heard? Nope
What people are hearing seems more likely to originate from atmospheric pressure and hot/cold fronts colliding.
...Not that I'm a meteorologist, biologist, geologist or any other scientific discipline's -ist.

There was an X-Files episode about this. This article seems like a cover-up, TBH.

i'm on the south coast, a bit further east than plymouth, and all i can hear at night is a sublime and immense beautiful silence, occasionally broken by the distant squeal of seagull far out at sea.
that or my neighbour's idiot dog barking at an ant or a stick or a bit of mud or a cloud or its own tail at 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am, etc. and yet i know that if anyone ever did try to break in it's one of those that would either hide in a bush or lick the burglar's hand.
but no, no hum.

as a civilisation we may be nearing critical stompbox mass? i mean you can ground a pedal to earth but what do you ground the earth on?
no one thought this through.

I'm on the south coast as well, never heard it, slightly disappointed...
