Their solution is to use a very long array (i.e., a towed array) of microphones (i.e., transducers), and perform algorithmic beam-forming to narrow down the possible points of origin for the sound.
This seems like a pretty obvious approach, but I haven't noticed anyone proposing it.

Some googling yields this: http://earthworksaudio.com/microphones/m-series/m50/ which should be sensitive enough to pick it up. Next step would probably to get a few of these, see if you can record the hum on a few of them, and then start experimenting. The theory behind triangulation is simple. But in practice, it's probably really hard to make sure all microphones have the same sensitivity. The standard approach de…
This strange sounds have been going on for many years now. It is really a strange phenomenon that's been occurring globally. On Youtube, it yields several people video recording them, from Russia to Asia: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=strange+sounds+...
This reminds me of a YouTube video I found from someone who thought they found a UFO near the Wal-Mart parking lot one night. It was the red blinking light on top of a water tower. People are very good at convincing themselves of things.
From my time working for the U.S. Navy, I find this very reminiscent of the problem of finding a submerged submarine at a distance, based on its low-frequency sound emissions.

All of these that I checked are either obviously fake or have simple explanations. One is a sound familiar to anyone who's played around with a cheap microphone, for example. Some are simple waves anyone can generate. This reminds me of a YouTube video I found from someone who thought they found a UFO near the Wal-Mart parking lot one night.

The ocean has a lot fewer objects for sound to reflect off of than a town full of buildings.

Meaning it's just a rendition of a hum, not an actual recording of "the hum".
> Meaning it's just a rendition of a hum, not an actual recording of "the hum". ...what? Did you not open the link at all? Or are you suggesting they're lying? They literally explicitly say it's an actual recording of the Windsor Hum at 11:12pm on August 24, 2011...
Seeing the video does not make me less skeptical. I don't know that they're lying, but I do not have great faith in human perception.
As one who can hear these sounds, I can attest to how maddening it is. It's even worse when (most of) the people around you can't hear it, and they don't believe you. Earplugs only make it worse, because they filter out ambient noise that otherwise helps distract you from the incessant hum. Daytime is not as bad as night because of the natural activity sounds of a city. I have read that waves and underwater currents…
I used to live right next to a busy highway, and that higher pitched white noise didn't bother me once. This unstoppable deep noise is incessantly annoying.

some are fake for sure. but this is more akin to the likes of strange occurrences of sinkholes than ufos. its not just one person reporting it, but an entire neighborhood.
We only have their word to go by, and it's not much use given their leaning toward supernatural and conspiracy.

I was plagued by the Hum for years. At times it became astonishingly loud. But I was able (eventually) to figure it out. Short version: I made many attempts to track it down. Used low frequency Microphones, filters, amplifiers, etc, as well as PC Spectrogram programs to try and and visualise and record it. Visited many nearby industries etc to try and find it. But none of my attempts did any good. As I'm a Radio Engi…
If I close my eyes, open my mouth and tilt my head back I can hear a hum. Is this The Hum?

Correct. At 30 Hz directionality is a pipe dream.
It's relatively trivial to find direction of the 30 Hz sound source, given 1 million budget - you just need to place microphones 11 meters apart and raise them above buildings until you get direct line of sight to the main source.
