The Hum

The Hum is a phenomena in which a low-frequency humming sound is detected around the planet, the two most distinctive and unnerving recorded cases being from deep within the ocean. These two happenings have been named the Bloop and the Slow Down. (you can listen at the wiki for now, since Johnny is too stupid to set up the embedded player.)

What could possibly make these sounds? No known animals could possibly make either of the before mentioned frequencies, and it's suspected that if something could make these kinds of sounds, it would need to be larger than even a blue whale. So what could be lurking down there? Is it merely the earth shifting and groaning as we'd like to suspect, perhaps it's entirely man-made?

With only a few percent of the depths of the waters surrounding us explored, how can we be sure? Are we barely scratching the surface of the creatures that reside on this planet? Am I speaking in the form of too many damn questions? Maybe. Or maybe the next time you go for a dip at the beach, you'll be sharing waters with something far beyond your imagination... And far below your kicking feet.
