Do Americans hear the Windsor Hum?
It’s good to see that the media is back reporting the hum. What the people of Windsor really need is to have the ‘source’ pinpointed so they can actually do something about it. This involves doing another scientific study, but it has to be on the American side.
Lee discusses the Windsor Hum - It’s been going on for 6 years! Two tests and it’s still unsolved.
We all hear differently due to individual variability. The Windsor hum may affect one person and not the other.
The media keeps reporting that it is ‘back’, but it’s ALWAYS there…ever persistent. However, it comes in varying intensities, and shows up in different locations throughout the year. I can see how the media perceives this as a sound that comes ‘back’, but in reality that is not the case.
Low frequency sound is very misunderstood. There is typically a lot of ridicule when it comes to people being bothered by low frequency sound. In the case of the Windsor Hum, even after two tests proved that it existed, people were still skeptical! The truth is that some people can’t hear this ‘hum’ because they are not sensitive to low frequency sounds, but this doesn’t mean that it’s not affecting them.
If the ‘hum’ sounded like nails dragging along a chalkboard, then it would be something most people would be able to relate to, but this sound is so low that it’s not only being heard, it’s being felt.

UWO & UW Reports
Take note that the first study [NRCAN] indicated the sound was coming from the south side of Zug Island [and in that general vicinity].
Oddly enough….“We note that much of the location box plots over water…”
The purpose of the second study was to pinpoint the source of the hum, but that second study failed to scientifically find an exact source.
There has been a lot of speculation, but no real answers.
The Zug Island: The Story of the Windsor Hum is being edited right now. No exact date on when it will be finished. It’s a slow and arduous process, but I am aiming to have the film completed by 2016 ! Once the edit comes together I’ll be releasing a new trailer. Stay tuned
