Canadians Make a Racket Over Mysterious 'Windsor Hum'
Unexplained Noise Spurs Diplomatic Fracas At Detroit Border; Americans Can't Hear It

Wall Street Journal
WINDSOR, Ontario�Last month, Bob Dechert, a senior aide to Canada's foreign minister, was dispatched to Detroit with an important diplomatic mission: To stop a highly annoying noise.
The so-called Windsor hum, described as a low-frequency rumbling sound, has rattled windows and knocked objects off shelves in this border community just across the Detroit River from the Motor City.

The 'Windsor Hum' is the name given to the recurring and invasive
low-frequency humming noise plaguing Windsor, Canada for more than
a year now.
The noise peaked last year and then subsided for a time, but a few
months ago the hum returned with a vengeance and has Windsor
residents and Canadian officials demanding answers.
Canadian scientists are claiming that the sound is coming from
across the river, from Detroit, but Americans say they can't here
it. American agencies, like the EPA, aren't interested.
Canadian diplomats formally raised the issue with the U.S.
Department of State last September, and with the return of the
noise in February, they intend to raise the issue again.
