    Bax, it is there, you just can’t hear it. These crafty aliens emitting their hum.

    My left eustachian tube is a bit blocked so I have an idling cross-channel ferry on that side. It's the Edinburgh-Valsalva service, sailing around 09h30.

    So if you are one of the people who can hear it, you might actually be a sort of 'Earth-whisperer', able to hear the planet itself - or, less poetically, its microseismic signals. However, that probably isn't much comfort when you're being kept awake in your Midlothian cottage at night.

    I hear it all the time, bax. It's roughly 40Hz.
