Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

We were only hearing it when in the boat, through the hulls, at night. Two locations about 15 miles apart. And it stopped abruptly about 4 a.m. each time.

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

This is not neurological or physiological. We only hear it through the hulls when we are on our boat and only heard it this year, 100 miles from the major "civilization" of Vancouver, though a bit...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

Good idea, Ann. I will look into it. This seems to be taking up too much mental space! And all for solving the mystery of a little hum detected when we were relaxing during our wonderful Desolation...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

Yes, that is true. But we just thought we would put this question out on Cruisers Forum as there are thousands of experienced cruisers who read this every day and, who knows? Someone may have found...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

It is interesting all the responses this mystery has elicited. This is a soft almost imperceptible hum, not a vibration per se although I guess all sound is vibration. And it is definitely not caused...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

This is not a loud sound at all. It is a humming and you only hear it if it is very quiet and you put your ear close to the hull walls. But I agree, it has to be manmade. That is what we are trying...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

No, I don’t think Wikipedia has the explanation. This is not tinnitus. Three different people heard the same hum out on the water as I described in my first post and we do not have tinnitus symptoms...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

You are right about the submarine base. Sorry. Did not mean to be sanctimonious. But the submarine base is a long long way from where we were hearing this hum. Anyway! I think this is the end of the...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

Thanks for your humour, BlueH! I guess this topic has really gotten all of our cruising friends stretching out. It's DEFINITELY not shrimp. As said much earlier in this thread. Shrimp do not hum. And...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

There are no submarine bases in the area. This is Canada, not the US.

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

Thank you to recent posters. Firstly, it was not just in Pendrell Sound that we heard this humming sound. And we are aware of no oyster farms in the area.

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

Hello FrAnziska.
There are no reservoirs or hydro electric Turbines close by and there is no road access for powerlines in this area. So we don’t think this is the answer to the mystery.

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

Ha ha. No tracker on our beautiful but humble west coast catamaran! Anyone else have any ideas?

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

It is not something that is heard on the exterior of the boat. We hear it inside the hulls, and it definitely is not our rigging. We know what whale song sounds like and it is not whale song--which...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

Thanks to ItDepends and Flightlead, but it is a much higher pitch than the Midshipman Fish. Very interesting, though. Next time we hear it, we will try to record it, but I think it may be too faint...

Re: Mysterious Humming Sound

It's not shrimp!!! We know full well the snap-crackle-pop sound of shrimp on the hulls, having experienced it first hand when we were in the Sea of Cortez, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta and all places...

Mysterious Humming Sound

Do you know what this weird humming noise is? We were up in Desolation Sound and Pendrell Sound on the British Columbia coast this June (about 100 miles north of Vancouver), and a few times we heard...
