The Taos Hum
In the early 1990s, residents of Taos, New Mexico began reporting a persistent low frequency sound, somewhere between a diesel engine idling and a distant rumble, that they could hear inside their homes but not explain. The sound was present day and night and for some listeners caused headaches, nosebleeds and nausea. A team from multiple American universities and the Los Alamos National Laboratory investigated in 1997. They found nothing.

We found nothing. The hearers are credible. The sound is real to them. We cannot find it.

One current theory proposes that some people can perceive infrasound through cochlear amplification, hearing vibrations that standard equipment cannot measure.
