Did you know that the Earth is constantly humming ie it produces a low frequency noise which can be picked up in the 2 to 7 mHz (millihertz) range, a range far below the one human ears can detect and scientist have now found that it is the energy produced

Description: Scientists have at last found the protein that transforms sound waves into nerve impulses. Researchers are learning that hearing is the &quot;fastest&quot; of the senses, faster even than vision in the way input becomes nerve signals.
