For decades, a small percentage of residents in and around Taos, New Mexico have been hearing a persistent low-frequency hum — a sound like a diesel engine idling, heard more strongly indoors than out, unaffected by earplugs, loudest at night. The majority of the population hears nothing. Those who hear it describe sleep disruption, headaches, nausea, and the particular distress of reporting something real that the people around them cannot perceive. A government-funded scientific team investigated in nineteen ninety-five and found no conventional source.

In this episode of 5 Minute Strange, we cover the full investigation into the Taos Hum — the scientific team that came and found nothing, the military VLF transmission theory, the comparison to the Windsor Hum which was eventually traced to a blast furnace in Michigan, and why no equivalent source has been identified for Taos. Some low-frequency hums have explanations. This one does not. The hum continues.
