There's a strange "hum" in and around the town that I get the ferry (to my holiday flat on mysterious island) from.
We used to hear it, on occasion from the island itself too.
It's called "The Largs Hum" and the best explanation for it that I've heard (so far) was that it was first heard shortly after the main local railway line was electrified, back in the early '70's.
There is a steep hill with some cliffs directly behind this coastal town, and the worst sufferers of the Hum seem to live in the area between the railway line and the cliffs, so someone suggested that it might be an "interference pattern" of the electromagnetic waves from the electrified railway reflecting off the cliffs.
There have been lots of other suggestions too, but that one seemed fairly reasonable to me! (In this specific case!)
Stick "The Largs Hum" into your search engine if you'd like further info!
