Listen to this supposed recording of the Taos hum. Can you hear anything? Patternicity causes us to hear or see things sometimes that aren't really there. Some people may hear a hum, others may not. This video is limited by the fact that the Taos hum is supposedly not able to be recorded, so this supposed recording contradicts one of the underlying basics of the hum.

This conspiracy theory video makes use of agenticity. It offers theories that extraterrestrial activity is to blame for the hum, as well as saying that it is possible that the Hum is caused by government experiments. This source is specifically limited by the fact that it tends toward conspiracy theories and psuedoscience rather than legitimate purposes.

This picture demonstrates confusion of correlation with causation. While some may suffer from otoacoustic emmisions, this is not a definite cause for the hum as those who do not suffer from this problem have also heard the hum. I think this image could benefit from a source, as it is somewhat constricted by the use of the word "their" instead of a reputable source

A theme that I found throughout my research was the sentence "no one knows what causes it". I think that this falls under the unexplained reason for belief because many people use it to cash in on the Hum without providing any new insight. Furthermore, that basically means that this image serves no purpose other than to draw attention and does not educate in any way.

Video: The Haunting Hymn of the Taos Hum

# data[].attributes.body
This video gives a basic overview of the Taos Hum and what people assume it to be. In one part of the video, it makes reference to the theory that the Hum is cause by ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) technology, which is said to be a weapon of war. This falls under the reason for belief "agenticity". I think this video is specifically limited by the fact that it is being used to promote a podcast, so the details are "amped up" to provide more interest to potential listeners

This image contains a reason for belief: unexplained. It evokes a mood of fear by stating that even though Congress has assembled "a task force of elite scientists". In addition, it makes sure to state that even though it's been 20 years there has been no cause determined. This could also fall under proof by verbosity because it tries to enforce it's claims by saying that only the best scientists have been investigating. This image is specifically hindered by its fear-mongering techniques. It doesn't really convey any useful information, and really only aims to confuse and frighten the audience.

This article proposes the theory that deep ocean waves and coastal waves work in conjunction to "rock" the earth - and this is what causes the Hum. I think that this is an issue of confusion of correlation with causation. They include a link to a study of how waves cause microseisms that rock the earth at a period of 13-300 seconds (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2014GL062782). However, it is said verbatim in the research that "The hum is the least understood part of Earth's oscillations". So while it may be creating a low frequency hum, it is very unlikely for this to be the cause of hums such as the Taos Hum.

This is a website created by Dr. Glen MacPherson. It contains, among other things, a link to contribute to a map of reported hearing of the Hum. The main problem with this site is due to the varying perception/observation of the witnesses who submit their data. While Dr. MacPherson does state on his website that this is not a place for "conspiracy theories", there is no real way to know how reliable the witnesses data is.

This article is riddled with appeals to authority. Most paragraphs begin with a sentence that states "researchers say" or "medical experts agree", but makes no reference to a legitimate source.
A specific limitation of this article is that when Marc Lallanilla states that Most researchers investigating the Hum express some confidence that the phenomenon is real". However, this does not make any reference to a source. So, I find it hard to believe that this sentiment is held by most of those who research the Hum.
