         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image here represents the Taos Pueblo. It's one of the worlds oldest, inhabited cities that still remain intact in the world. The Taos tribe that lived here is known to be one of the world's secretive and most secluded culture. The name of the mysterious sounds that people refer to as the Taos Hum; a continuous, random droning noise that occurs. This red flag is also known as "mystical energy". Since the city of the Taos Tribe is known to be very secret, maybe there is a energy out there that produces this random droning noise out of nowhere so the tribe could still be remembered and not forgotten. Society will truly never know that the sound is, but mystical energy can be a strong theory. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The video here is a recording of the supposed Taos Hum. After doing some research in the comment section, this video works in both ways. Just like the popular twitter debate a few years ago, if the dress was blue or white, people can hear the hum or not hear the hum based on their own conformation bias. You can chose to hear it or not hear it, just like how with the dress if you focus on the white part, the dress becomes white, or if you look at it from another angle and focus on the blue, the dress becomes blue. It is what you subconsciously believe in. At first, I told myself that I don't believe in the hum, and I couldn't hear anything playing. After reading in the comments, I saw that if you change your own bias and belief, and tell your self that you do hear it, all of a sudden you tend to focus on what needs to be picked up and the sound randomly starts occurring, as a steady and suttle humming sound. Could this video be made up and worked this way to trick society into believing that the hum actually exists, or is this yet another made up hoax? It looks like it all depends on one's conformation bias in this example. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This website is run by a famous news outlet, The Guardian. They discuss how the US steel industry is to blame for the sound of the Taos Hum. Upon searching a reddit thread, a popular theory of the US Steel industry adopted from this article made its way to be a top thread in a science section. The comments had a lot of belief to this theory because The Gaurdian is a credible source. This shows how "appeal to authority" is being used by the news agency to broadcast information, while scientifically the steel industry theory lacks any evidence. This shows how society is quick to jump and come to conclusions when a major source spills out information, just because of their authoritative figure. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Often, people find them selves distracted from the truth and only look at what's around them, and not behind them. In this example of the Taos Hum, we will be taking a look at the red flag "red herring". The Red Herring is defined as irrelevant distractions to cover up what's real. The Taos Hum's most popular and scientifically backed up theory is the tectonic plates shifting, causing the noise. This was published by many government sources and news outlets, making it seem like this is the most credible theory. What if in reality these strange sounds are aliens trying to communicate with humans on earth? Could they be some sort of signals to warn mankind? These are questions we need to start asking ourselves as a whole and not just focus on what's being told to us as true.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This interesting video about the Taos Hum covers all aspects and angles of the fact that Taos Hum is just another phenomenon that cannot be scientifically backed up. At minute 3:24, the author puts up a quote published by the University of New Mexico stating "We are left with a mystery. There are no acoustic signals that might account for the hum nor are there any seismic events that might explain it." Here, the red flag is "the unexplained". There is just simply a possibility that this can never be explained and it's one of those things that just randomly happen, whether it's aliens or nature. What's interesting here is that a lot of other articles that are verified do claim that their are acoustic signals in the sound. This is where researchers need to be careful as to where they find their information, as there is really no right answer at the moment, and maybe there will never be one. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>The "observation/perception" red flag talks about how people can take their observation and perception of an event that happened, and relate it with their belief, which makes an event seem true to them. In this article, the disorder tinnitus is discussed. Roughly 5-7 percent of humans have observed and heard the Taos Hum sound. A scientific research has concluded that perhaps those who observe the sound have tinnitus; a disorder where there is a constant and random ringing or buzzing sound in ones ear. It is interesting to see how maybe those few numbers of those diagnosed with tinnitus believe in world consperiency theories. Perhaps their perception of what the government is hiding mixed in with the observation of what they are hearing due to tinnitus, makes it seem like they are hearing this "Taos Hum" sound.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Mystical Energy; false energy made up to sound scientific. The Taos Hum sound could be some sort of energy in the atmosphere that we yet have studied or found to exist. Perhaps we as a society don't have the tools necessary or built to study this because as a whole, we don't believe in random energy's and weird matter. However, dark matter in space is being heavily explored and popularized in recent times. Could the Taos Hum sound be dark matter moving around in space and entering into our atmosphere and creating these sounds? </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Here, a group of researchers put together multiple clips of a humming noise also known as the Taos Hum. They claim their work to be true and that this is evidence of the sound, but they don't claim any evidence of the theory behind it. This here is known as proof by verbosity; a way for people to sound scientific and logical, by putting quantity over quality. The correlation here is that it is very easy to get people thinking that this is the truth and that these sounds exist just by providing an example of a clip. After checking up on the website, the sources are not very credible and no research has been put as to what is behind these sounds (wave lengths, location, trials, etc.) For all we know, it could be a kid in his basement creating these clips with a paper roll tube and a water bottle.</div>]]></description>
