The creation of The Day Of The Great Hum requires the installation of a network of powerful loud speakers in the conduits of a city's sewerage/water drainage system.
At an appointed hour, a powerful hum will be generated as the entire network is activated. This will be clearly audible in every neighbourhood
to varying degrees. In some places the hum will be prominent and in others barely detectable, as the sound work at Times Square was for many years.
Variations in the fequency of the hum will ensure that dissonant sound undulations are created, as the different hums echo down the tunnels, caverns and holding tanks of the network.

I knew about the Times Square hum years ago,
which is why I referred to it in the idea. I once
made a special 4.00am visit to hear it when the
streets where quieter. Most people never knew it
existed. I'm proposing a much more comprehensive
single day, city wide event that's signifigantly
louder. |

Rather than a hum, how about a Woodpecker ? <link> |
|

/,It’ll be tricky to calibrate between something
that will make people go “Did you hear that?”//
I believe a designated day event will achieve that
outcome. Chairs may be placed in recommended
locations to generate and facilitate audiences. I'm
quite ambitious with this type of proposal. Fog
horns can be heard for miles and this will be a lot
louder, deeper in tone, sustained and in multiple
locations. I believe it will work. |

Glasgow would do nicely. London is the obvious
answer of course. I'm very fond of Rotterdam but
don't think it would work there due to the
geography. Leipzig is also a candidate for various
reasons. |
|
| |
How about Budapest ? That's in Humgary, isn't it ? |

A had considered Humburg but thought it a bit
obvious. |

You considered it, and then you had second thoughts ? |
|
| |
So good it needed and echo. |
|
| |
so, essentially, city-sized bagpipes? [+] |
|
| |
Now you know why Glasgow is my ideal city of
choice. |
|

I was expecting Attila the Hum. |

A bun for anything that raises vibrations. The tongue must be
on top of the mouth for this to work. I participate in Kirtin and
I must say when everyone is in the moment echoing the chant,
the strength of the higher vibrations are clearly evident. So +
for you, and your little hummingbirds. |

Try not to lose hope, [chron]. Doctors are working on a cure. And after all, there are worse places... |
|
| |
Ah, no, sorry, there are no worse places. Even Venus, which has a surface temperature of 450C and an atmosphere full of carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid gets better reviews on TripAdvisor... |

Ah Glasgow.... a super place with the greatest
proliferation of vegan restaurants in the UK.
Glasgow is calm and benign now, apart from the
times when the cavemen from my home town
arrive for Rangers/Celtic matches. Weaponised
Bagpipes anyone? |
|
| |
Now we are intrigued ... how do you "weaponise" something that's already a weapon ? It's like saying "malodourise Belgium" ... |
|
| |
Um, a long day of pondering. |
|
| |
//how do you "weaponise" something?// Adding
blades, spikes, projectile firing abilities will
usually do it. Converting the bagpipes into a
weapon would be relatively easy..... I imagine the
3 drone pipes that ascend from the air bag
doubling up as 8 foot long pikes that can be quickly
swivelled into a horizontal position. |
