Why do 2% of individuals hear a low rumble that should not exist? Explore the science of infrasound, the Taos Hum, and why 18.98 Hz can make you see ghosts.
TL; DR: For about 2% of the population, a mysterious "hum"-- often described as a far-off diesel engine-- is a haunting truth. This documentary dives into the physics of infrasound, the biological "hardware dispute" of the human body, and how ecological factors like room modes and industrial basslines turn a faint vibration into a life-altering secret. We explore the Windsor Hum, the "ghostly" impacts of 18.98 Hz, and practical methods to break the auditory-limbic feedback loop.
