Time magazine reports that a recent study finds that giraffes are not silent but hum at a low frequency at night. ( time.com/4043387/giraffes-sound-hum/ ) Discuss amongst yourselves. |

Why do they hum?
Probably because they don't know the words.

I do that myself. My wife tries to claim it's snoring, but I know better.

Hellooo, who didn’t know that! Well, me for one.
i wonder though, if they sleep in close proximity to each other, do they hum in the same key?

I could see a band called "The Giraffes" and name their first album "We only hum at night".

Mine knows the words. I wish he’d go back to humming.

Okay, you started it!
"I Want to Hold Your Hum"
"Hum Me Do"
"Twist and Hum"
"The Long and Winding Hum"
"Sweet Hum Alabama"
Movies:
"Are you humming at me? I don't see anyone else around ... you must be humming at me."
"Your clothes .... hum them to me."
"These aren't the hums your looking for."
Attila the Hum

They hum because they can't whistle (I can't whistle, either).

Hum (verb)
British Informal
To smell very unpleasant.
Giraffes hum at night because they are to tall to fit in a shower.

I think they are just idling. Too much trouble to shut her down and then restart the next day.

Try some copper tape, or maybe the paint would be easier. Don’t forget to attach a ground wire.
