Mystery vibrations have Green Bay couple spinning

[KuernoDeChivo]

This is kind of weird, I have been hearing these stories off and on for well over 15 years. I have often wondered if it is related to the burrowing and construction of underground military bases.... but then again who knows? I remember one incident where they had a bit of a hum and then build a deck on the house and the noise got much worse. After a couple sleepless nights the home owner went out with a chainsaw and cut all the supports so he could sleep. Most of the stories I remember were around then Utah four corner area and down in the Mojave Desert.

Bob and Leona Ehrfurth are very sensitive to the possibility that people might think they're crazy.

For the record, they're not — but they are being driven that way.

For two years now, the Ehrfurths have been enduring an annoying, persistent noise in their home — a low, motor-like rumble accompanied by a vibration. They can't figure out what's causing it, and it's been a challenge getting others to believe them because the problem starts and stops.

They've lived in the house at 2048 Mary Queen Road for 42 years, and it's only been the last two years that it's been a problem.

"It's like there's a semi parked right outside with the engine running, but when you look out, there isn't one," said Leona Ehrfurth, 76.

And it quits at the most inconvenient times. Like when they bring city officials, acoustic experts or news reporters into their house to experience the problem.

City officials spent $1,000 to hire a company to do some testing this spring; the tester heard no noise, and his equipment failed to measure vibration of any significance.

Nicholson hoped the equipment could be used inside one of the factories in the general neighborhood, but Municipal Judge Jerry Hanson wouldn't sign the inspection warrant that would allow that.

"There has to be some reasonable suspicion of some type of violation you could point to," Hanson said. "Nobody's been able to come up with anything that would point to anything specific."

"Now they KNOW we're crazy," Bob Ehrfurth, 75, grumbled after explaining how a technical expert installed vibration-monitoring equipment in their house and failed to measure anything of significance.

"Imagine putting your pillow on the hood of a running car — you can't sleep through that," Leona Ehrfurth said. "You get this pressure in your ear. Sometimes I have to get out of the house, because I can't take it anymore."

Bob Ehrfurth can sleep through it, but he doesn't like it.

"It doesn't matter if the windows are open or closed — you still hear it," he said. "It's worse in the winter."

Although the two aren't in the best of health, the problem is not with them because when they leave, they don't hear the noise, Bob Ehrfurth said.

The Ehrfurths' immediate neighbors haven't complained about the noise, but the Ehrfurths have had a few people admit hearing the noise. An engineering teacher told the city's Protection & Welfare Committee he tried to help the Ehrfurths investigate the matter, and said he experienced a throbbing sensation in his ears while in the neighborhood and in their house. A resident from about a mile away made similar complaints.

"Yeah, I've experienced it," said Alderman Andy Nicholson, who has been trying to help the Ehrfurths. "It's like an engine thing, a low-frequency vibration. I think it would be an annoyance."

But the source remains a mystery.

The Ehrfurths said they started hearing the noise shortly after St. Bernard's Parish, directly across the street from them, redid its roofing, chimney and ductwork on the wing of its school building. But parish staff members proved to the Ehrfurths that their building wasn't the source when they shut off all of their equipment and the noise continued.

The frustration as well as the annoyance of the noise itself has driven Leona Ehrfurth to tears. She broke down at two public meetings as she tried to explain it.

"He's 75 and I'm 76, and we're both failing fast," she said. "I can't take it. I try to stay in bed, but I get such a bad headache, I can't take it. I have to hang out in the basement or try sleeping in the sunroom (where the noise is less bothersome).

"We could move, but why should we have to? We didn't cause it."

Hmmmmm... very interesting...

Is there any 'earthly' explanation for a low hum, rumble in the
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN area - which could indicate earthquake?

I have read that there is an undersea volcano in the Great Lakes area,
and quakes have been recorded in bordering states.

QUOTES from syzygy
1 - One of our volcanoes seams to want to wake up the sonic booms are close.TARA-SOTU eqm
2 - is that the 'thump thump' sounds?
3 - 24-48 hours and another eruption will occur somewhere. Maybe a 3rd volcano in Alaksa somewhere will join in on the action up there?

I put this mystery in my newsletter - ZionsCRY - and someone replied.

'My best friend lives in Adams County, Ohio and they have been experiencing the same thing where they live at, a couple of miles from the Serpent Mound. They also had a crop circle in the same area about three years ago. A lot of strange unexplained goings on in that area. '

Jim Berkland wrote me (and I AGREE with his pastor!) .....

The deep hum has long been known in the Northeast. Even the Indians were mystified by it near Moodus, Connecticut, where it often preceded small earthquakes (See Moodus Noises.)

In the S.F. Bay Area there were deep booming noises for about a week before the 6.2M Morgan Hill quake of 4/24/84 and the World Series Quake of 10/17/89.

In areas such as yours, with very little seismicity some would expect underground borings and actiivity by the Government. A lot of that is going on around the world, because of political uncertainties.

Our pastor is considering that the End Times are here.

I went to the origonal article on the aggravation that these folks have to put up with, and i have to say i have experienced the same thing, and also thought a semi was idling on my street or in the neighborhood, only to look and see nothing, and this has happened more than once, although ...thank God not every night like these poor folks...yes it would certainly be interesting to get to the bottom of this mystery...

hi , the moodus ct. noises as they are called, started in the local indian lore.the area is honeycombed with caves.the local indians belived spirts lived in the caves because a moaning noise comes out of the caves. i don't remember what year it was done, (70s?)but someone studied this. it was found that a fault line runs directly under this part of the state.the study found that small earthquakes ,almost all not felt by people,were causeing these sounds.the deep quakes were resonating in the caves hence the sounds.i've heard the sounds myself i live very close to there. it's spooky

Sorry everyone. I'll turn down the stereo.
