And have it boot up into Steam and be done with it. There's a lot of weird stuff going on. There's a lot of weird stuff going on. The vibe at E3 was that Steam and Steam Boxes were kind of running out of steam, right? The vibe at E3 was that Steam and Steam Boxes were kind of running out of steam, right? I know, but, not really. I know, but, not really. Yeah, that's how it works. Yeah, that's how it works. It's just sort of a situation. It's just sort of a situation. So anyway, don't worry about Steam Boxes. So anyway, don't worry about Steam Boxes. If you play, if you play games on Steam, you all right have the means, so enjoy the summer sale cuz it just started.

We can speculate, which is what we'll do, but so far there's no official explanation. We can speculate, which is what we'll do, but so far there's no official explanation. Bet you the Christian Post has an answer. Bet you the Christian Post has an answer. [LAUGH] Probably. [LAUGH] Probably. Then we'll talk about the FBI's glossary of internet slang.

So every once in a while I'll stumble across stories like these on the internet, weird internet phenomena that's unexplained. It was a lot like that weird Russian radio frequency. It was a lot like that weird Russian radio frequency. Oh, why would you bring that up? Oh, why would you bring that up? UBD76. UBD76. I just finally, the nightmares just ended. I just finally, the nightmares just ended. For some reason, a lot of them have to do with how audio affects us biologically. For some reason, a lot of them have to do with how audio affects us biologically. Yeah. Yeah. And it was the same deal with that story, the Russian frequency. And it was the same deal with that story, the Russian frequency. And it's the same, the same deal here. And it's the same, the same deal here. This one's similar. This one's similar. It has a lot to do with a quiet super low frequency rumbling hum that's been in the media since the early 1970s.

And its pervasive across the whole world and this is the back story of it. And its pervasive across the whole world and this is the back story of it. And I wanna play a little bit of the recording, because we have a simulation of what it sounds like. And I wanna play a little bit of the recording, because we have a simulation of what it sounds like. But a large issue of why its sorta gone under the radar is because people can't really reproduce the sound. But a large issue of why its sorta gone under the radar is because people can't really reproduce the sound. It's in their head literally. It's in their head literally. So, we don't really know what it sounds like to them, unless you're hearing it your self. So, we don't really know what it sounds like to them, unless you're hearing it your self. Weird. Weird. But here's a simulation of what researchers have kinda come up with. But here's a simulation of what researchers have kinda come up with. All right so here's what the sound is. All right so here's what the sound is. 'Kay. 'Kay. There's not a lot to it. There's not a lot to it. Not a lot to it. Not a lot to it. It's a super low frequency. It's a super low frequency. They say it's from three to 30 hertz which is very, very low on the frequency scale. They say it's from three to 30 hertz which is very, very low on the frequency scale. It's described as sort of a low throbbing drone. It's described as sort of a low throbbing drone. The brown note. The brown note. Similar to the Brown Note. Similar to the Brown Note. It's, it's kinda the same deal, right? It's, it's kinda the same deal, right? No. No. The Brown Note made people poop themselves. The Brown Note made people poop themselves. So the Brown Note is this theoretical frequency. So the Brown Note is this theoretical frequency. Yeah, it's a fiction Yeah, it's a fiction But it's along the same lines 3 to 30 hertz. But it's along the same lines 3 to 30 hertz. You know, it's indiscernible to the human ear. You know, it's indiscernible to the human ear. You won't be able to hear it. You won't be able to hear it. You feel it, and with the brown note they say that you'll **** your pants immediately when you hear it.

It's weird because, I should stop describing it as weird, but that's just- It's weird because, I should stop describing it as weird, but that's just- It is weird. It is weird. I keep coming back to that, it's very strange. I keep coming back to that, it's very strange. It is weird. It is weird. They hear it throughout the day all day long and it's louder at night time and it's louder indoors. They hear it throughout the day all day long and it's louder at night time and it's louder indoors. You would think that a sound would get louder, if you didn't know where it was coming from, when you go outside your house.

No. No. I have an analog one. I have an analog one. Why don't you bring that in? Why don't you bring that in? I wanna see it. I wanna see it. Here. Here. I'll show. I'll show. I'll bring it up for you. I'll bring it up for you. So, wait. So, wait. Does it rub things together to make the noise? Does it rub things together to make the noise? I don't understand. I don't understand. No, it's like fans. No, it's like fans. Okay. Okay. I'll show you which one I have. I'll show you which one I have. It's. It's.

Dual speed. Dual speed. It's look like. It's look like. I bought it back in. I bought it back in. Something from the 70's. Something from the 70's. Yeah, I bought it back in September of of of 2011. Yeah, I bought it back in September of of of 2011. It has a button. It has a button. Yeah. Yeah. [CROSSTALK] So it's got a, it's got a two switch control and the the noise it makes I can only describe as a whirling set of fans.

If you're using it for something like sleep, then it's great that you're listening to it. If you're using it for something like sleep, then it's great that you're listening to it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Meanwhile, a lot of these people that have heard the sound, they'd describe it as vibroacoustic agony.

And then three people, at least three people in the UK in the early 90s ended up committing suicide as a direct result of this sound. I don't know, man. I don't know, man. So let's get to the possible theories. So let's get to the possible theories. Because there's one thing the internet is good at, it's speculation. Because there's one thing the internet is good at, it's speculation. Yeah, but I want a theory from a scientist. Yeah, but I want a theory from a scientist. Okay, we'll talk about that. Okay, we'll talk about that. I don't want a theory from some dickhead on a forum. I don't want a theory from some dickhead on a forum. So, if you go to thehum.info. So, if you go to thehum.info. This website, basically, cull reports from people around the world that have, basically, banded together to map the, all of their suffering. This website, basically, cull reports from people around the world that have, basically, banded together to map the, all of their suffering. So, here you can see where all the locations, people have reported on it, are. So, here you can see where all the locations, people have reported on it, are. And, this is also where a lot of, the theories [INAUDIBLE] as well. And, this is also where a lot of, the theories [INAUDIBLE] as well. Okay. Okay. So I think the possible theory that people have come up with is tinnitus. So I think the possible theory that people have come up with is tinnitus. Right? Right? We've talked about tinnitus on the show. We've talked about tinnitus on the show. It happens when you listen to music too loud. It happens when you listen to music too loud. That's high frequency. That's high frequency. And your ears. And your ears. But that's high frequency, exactly. But that's high frequency, exactly. Hm. Hm. So that sorta dispels, this theory. So that sorta dispels, this theory. Another thing is a lot of the regional hums. Another thing is a lot of the regional hums. And that's the problem, is, people hear it in different places, so it's hard to link into one central area. And that's the problem, is, people hear it in different places, so it's hard to link into one central area. The regional hums have been linked to mechanical sources. The regional hums have been linked to mechanical sources. So, for example, in west Seattle, according to this article, it says, the sound ended up being a vacuum pump. So, for example, in west Seattle, according to this article, it says, the sound ended up being a vacuum pump. Used from cargo ships in the nearby bay. Used from cargo ships in the nearby bay. And so when they replaced those silencers, it ended up getting rid of the noise. And so when they replaced those silencers, it ended up getting rid of the noise. But that's just one. But that's just one. You know, this comes from so many places across the earth. You know, this comes from so many places across the earth. Could be from a million different sources, but the best theory that I think is probably the cause of it is low frequency radio waves. Could be from a million different sources, but the best theory that I think is probably the cause of it is low frequency radio waves. We talk about those a lot too on the show. We talk about those a lot too on the show. In terms of are these radio waves becoming radio active and destroying us from the inside out through cell phones in our pockets. In terms of are these radio waves becoming radio active and destroying us from the inside out through cell phones in our pockets. That's like That's like What? What? Right I mean you heard those low frequency radiations. Right I mean you heard those low frequency radiations. Is this going to be damaging to our health from the cell phone? Is this going to be damaging to our health from the cell phone? But radio waves? But radio waves? There's nothing wrong with radio waves. There's nothing wrong with radio waves. Yeah. Yeah. Well usual, I think with most people that's not a big issue. Well usual, I think with most people that's not a big issue. You won't notice it biologically. You won't notice it biologically. Some people, unfortunately, are more prone to hearing it than others. Some people, unfortunately, are more prone to hearing it than others. I don't know, the only thing I can tell from this map is that it happens where there's a lot of people. I don't know, the only thing I can tell from this map is that it happens where there's a lot of people. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So that is not. So that is not. That proves nothing to me. That proves nothing to me. So steel plants can be offenders of this. So steel plants can be offenders of this. Military aircraft, for example, anyone that emits a high volume of low frequency waves could be at fault here. Military aircraft, for example, anyone that emits a high volume of low frequency waves could be at fault here. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just not feeling this, man. I'm just not feeling this, man. Just not buying whatever they're selling. Just not buying whatever they're selling. You don't like? You don't like? Oh, it's not like you're disturbed, you're just. Oh, it's not like you're disturbed, you're just. I just don't, you know believe them. I just don't, you know believe them. I believe them, but there is an explanation for everything. I believe them, but there is an explanation for everything. Yeah, yeah, it may be very well different explanations for different reasons to. Yeah, yeah, it may be very well different explanations for different reasons to. And the fact that there's no regulation, like this could a million of different things too. And the fact that there's no regulation, like this could a million of different things too. Right. Right. This could be what happens to some guy in Nevada. This could be what happens to some guy in Nevada. Could be different than what happens to some guy in France. Could be different than what happens to some guy in France. Right. Right. Here's, here's another creepy part of the story, though, Here's, here's another creepy part of the story, though, Go on. Go on. That could really freak you out. That could really freak you out.
