A tiny English village is being hit by a mysterious sound known as "the hum", Daily Telegraph reports.

Residents of Woodland, in County Durham, claim that every night a noise permeates the air similar to the throb of a car engine. It is sometimes so strong that it even shakes the beds of some of the residents.

But no matter how hard they look, the community cannot find the source of the problem and, at their wits end, have called in the council to investigate.

Residents have claimed "the hum" is constant from midnight until 4am and has disrupted their sleep. There are no pylons, factories or abandoned mines nearby.

The noise started about two months ago and has plagued the isolated village ever since.

神秘噪音困扰英伦小村

       据《每日电讯报》报道，英国的一个小村庄正被一种“嗡嗡声”的神秘噪音所困扰。

       达勒姆郡伍德兰村的村民们表示，每天晚上都有一种类似汽车引擎颤动的声音萦绕在空中，有时候声音很大，有些人家的床都感到在颤动。

       但是不管怎么找，村民们都找不到问题的根源。无计可施的村民只好请当地政府进行调查。

       据说，“嗡嗡声”从午夜一直持续到凌晨四点，令村民无法安睡，而村子周围并没有电缆塔、工厂或是废弃的矿井。

       两个月以来，这座偏僻的小村庄每天都被这种噪音折磨着。
