The Hunt For The Hum

Comedian and musician Bill Bailey explores the phenomena of low-frequency noise. Bill goes in search of apparently mysterious "hums" that have been heard from Tokyo to Toronto, and Beijing to Bristol. Engineers, hospital consultants, acoustics experts and sperm whales all play their part in a strange and occasionally sad story of industrialisation and noise pollution.
