Hey all, so there is a podcast that I think is really great. It's called

20,000 hurts. Each episode looks at a story behind one of the world's most

recognizable or interesting sounds.

And one of their very first episodes was about this mysterious hum.

This hum was haunting the residents of Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. No one could figure

out what was making this sound. It was driving everybody out of their minds. So 20,000 hurts

did a story on the hum a few years ago back in 2017, but there wasn't really a resolution.

It seemed like the hum would be this permanent mystery.

And then, out of the blue, the host of the show, Dallas Taylor, got a tip.

And a resolution.

It is such a good story and I'm going to let Dallas tell you this one.

Here is the story of the Windsor Hum. There's a place right on the border between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario,

where there's this hum. It's so low that it takes a long time to even notice it, and you can't

hear it everywhere. But in some places, especially on the Canadian side, the noise can get so loud

that it rattles dishes.

No one knows for sure what the sound is or what's making it, but it keeps people up at night.

The sound even has a Facebook group with over 2,000 members who discuss it and speculate what might be causing it.

It's known as the Windsor Hum.

This is an actual recording of the Hum, but we've applied some processing to make it more audible.

Imagine if this sound was happening around you all the time, when you woke up in the morning,

while watching TV,

when you went to bed at night.
