There is speculation that the ability to detect the Hum is based on physiological aptitude in perceiving it, or that it’s the result of auditory hallucinations by way of tinnitus and atmospheric conditions, but let’s be real: it’s probably aliens, and they probably just left the subterranean radio on, and the nearest place to lodge a noise complaint is Alpha Centauri.
