The rest? Silence.🎧 What is the Taos Hum—and why can only some people hear it? 🌍 Is it microseismic vibrations from the Earth itself? ⚡ Could it come from hidden electrical or industrial sources? 🌬 Or is it all in the mind—a psychological echo that science can’t detect?From tectonic tremors to infrasound, Katy and Laura explore every theory behind the hum that refuses to be recorded—and why some ears might just be more tuned to the planet than others.🎧 This is part of our Nature Mysteries series—short, eerie, and full of science that’ll make your brain vibrate.
