If You Like Mysteries,

and you want a chance to solve one,

all you have to do is travel to Holmfield, a village in Yorkshire, England and listen, the village is plagued by a mysterious hum, having said that not everyone can hear it, but those whose who do claim to have had their lives seriously impacted, by the “Holmfield Hum”, as the mysterious low-frequency sound plaguing the English village is known, residents who can hear the mysterious hum describe it as the whirring of a washing machine or an idling diesel engine, it is most annoying to many people and some have said it affects their sleep, “I love my home but some days I absolutely detest being in it. It feels like there’s no happy space here anymore,” Holmfield resident Yvonne Conner recently told the BBC. “As much as I can hear it I can feel it on my eardrums. It resonates and feels like a pressure against them. That’s pretty much what it’s like all the time.” Adding “It leaves you feeling worn out because it’s worse on a night so trying to sleep is hard,” local woman Zoe Millar said. “We have considered moving but why should we when it’s something that’s not our fault?”,

“We have given our all to this investigation and left no stone unturned because we care about local people and understand the impact that the alleged noises have had on some residents,” Councillor Jenny Lynn told Yorkshire Live. “We have given our all to this investigation and left no stone unturned because we care about local people and understand the impact that the alleged noises have had on some residents.” acoustic expert Peter Rogers told the BBC that sound is a very complex topic and that in this case, the infamous hum could indeed be caused by some industrial activity that only some people can hear, or even something as mundane as water running through mains, a transformer or a telegraph pole, “The problem is then trying to find where it’s coming from and it’s a bit like searching for that elusive needle in a haystack,” Rogers said. “If you imagine the soundscape people are living in, there’s all sorts of noises coming and going day and night so you’ve to effectively turn everything off to start the job of finding it.” and that has not happened yet, so there you have it, if you want to become a local hero, solve the modern mystery of the Holmfield Hum!
