Starting in the 1990s a small percentage of residents of Taos, New Mexico began reporting hearing a hum. Those affected report it as a vibration, while others hear it as a tone. Regardless, those affected claim sleep disturbances, anxiety, headaches, and memory loss. Despite scientific investigations, the hum’s location and source remain a mystery.
