The Mysterious Hum Nobody Can Explain

quote [ For the past nine years, residents of Windsor city, situated on the Canadian side of the US-Canada border just across Detroit river, have been complaining of a mysterious and persistent low-frequency humming noise. It comes and goes at random intervals, sometimes lasting hours and other times droning on for days. ]

What this reminds me of is the Cuban "death ray" on a larger scale.

I just read two things about it and no one has a conclusive answer for it either although I have seen both "sonic weapon" and "microwaves"
offered and argued about.

This reminds me of a similar story but in the American West. I wish I could remember the state and where the story was. But this guy spent years hunting the source of the hum, and tracked it to a data server farm. The large numbers of air conditioners at the farm were the cause.

Pretty sure this got solved- its a blast furnace at the US Steel plant on Zug Island.

Not that I don't mind my hometown being on SE for something other than strippers, the homeless people in parking lots, or that guy who gave HIV to a bunch of hookers in the early 2000s.

The GM building overlooking the river and it's peculiar shape, maybe?

Is this related to the Taos hum (which occurs in places other than Taos, NM)?
