The Windsor Hum Mystery
The podcast episode explores the mysterious low-frequency rumbling known as the Windsor Hum that started in 2011 near Windsor, Ontario. The noise seems to originate from Zug Island, an industrial island between Windsor and Detroit. Despite blame on the steel mill, the source of the hum remained unknown. The restricted access to Zug Island by Homeland Security added to the mystery, preventing investigations. Various theories, from new iron making processes to sonic weapons or ghosts, emerged as possible explanations. However, in 2019, when the steel mill shut down their blast furnaces, the humming noise ceased, providing a resolution to the enigma.
