Re: Mystery Humming at North End of Island
Thanks very much, Joe Moore, Fish Camp and pdevers, for your informative and helpful replies. I'll now be paying attention to the wind direction when I hear the humming and finally making sense of it. Much appreciation,

Calling all acoustical engineers! Has anyone else heard the mysterious low humming sound that seems to come from the earth at the north end of the island?

Beaver Isle Blam! a Novella Farcical Comedy by D.R. Hill
A comedy/farce. Quiet life on Beaver Island turns to mayhem thanks to a convergence of too many ornamental blacksmiths showing up at the same time, a wacky militia contingent intent on ridding the island of all "undesirables," a former rock star who believes she is the ancient Greek poetes...

The musical showcases fourteen original songs and three instrumentals and is set on Beaver Island in the summer of 1913. It features Protar and Patr...
