FT Weekend: The international mystery of the ‘Hum’
26 februari 2022 · 38 min

It’s an uncomfortable, low-frequency sound that has also been heard in towns across the world, from New Mexico to Ontario to Scotland. The FT's Imogen West-Knights tells us that it's mostly heard by middle-aged women. So is it a real noise, an imaginary illness, or both? Lees meer
