I ran across this wonderful little bit of information while researching radio waves. I was wondering if X could explain the reality of this situation, if between 2% and 10% of people can hear this "hum" then could someone in theory be made to hear this hum?
If so, does this blow your mind as it does mine? If someone can actually figure out what the heck this is i will award that man with a gratifying anon good job.

Also, Fair warning, Newfag here.
So can the hum also happen in the presence of other noise or does it have to be complete silence?

I think the people that can hear it can also hear background noise around them such as cars and the like.

When I was a kid, I used to pick up NPR on my fillings.
Everything I've read says this is impossible...
Okay, so maybe I was schitzo... BUT WHY THE FUCK NPR!?

That's roughly the same number of people suffering from Tinnitus.
Some people have a slightly lower or higher band of frequency range though. I knew a girl who would be driven absolutely mad by slightly off electrical noises that only she could hear. Had to run around replacing bits of fuse boxes left and right for her.
