Has it ever happened to you? Open the window because you hear a strange buzz, a rare rumor that floods the night but in a very soft, very mild way.Sometimes, it is even possible that only you hear it.It happens, we have to go to the ENT maybe, or maybe the psychiatrist? Don't worry, you are not the only one.Millions of people identify this sound baptized as "The Snoring of Taos"
The most curious sound in the world: the snoring of Taos
This sound had its origin in the small village of Taos (New Mexico) , which gave its name to such a peculiar phenomenon.It is a very low sound In fact, those who listen to it say that it looks like the engine of a diesel car playing a long distance away.In the distance.Really peculiar.
It is very short, hence not all ears can hear it , because it is in the threshold between 20 and 20,000 hertz or cycles per second.It is said that it is more audible at night and when we are inside our houses.It is like a sensation strange, to perceive that there is something outside that "wicks the atmosphere" and not knowing what it is, as if the engine of a very distant car was running for a long time.It is difficult for you can capture it with a recorder, because sometimes it does not last long, it is perceived only at small intervals.In certain very equal time cycles.
For some people, Taos snoring is a mild nuisance, but for others it can become something really annoying capable of interfering with their rest throughout the night.Something serious, no doubt.It was in the 90s when the snoring phenomenon began to take relevance in the US, conducting studies and spreading around the world.
The investigations began precisely in Taos, in this small town in Mexico, since it was here where complaints began to appear with greater intensity, but years later , it happened also in United Kingdom and New Zealand .But as this phenomenon appeared in more media, there were more people who said they had heard this murmur.
But what is Taos's buzz really? Well, the truth is that we are sorry to tell you that there are no clear conclusions.There are studies that say that it is not more than frequency of sounds or of distant stereos , distant sounds of buildings that some people manage to hear.vibrations that float in the environment.Speakers from distant homes, industrial machinery...
But this conjecture does not hold too much, because there are many people who say they have heard it in the middle of the desert, far, far from civilization.And the other unknown is that, despite being perfectly audible to many people, is not registered in conventional microphones .Many doubts for a phenomenon that still has no explanation.
And have you ever heard the hum of Taos?
