Hum's sonic universe is a solipsistic world that exists on its own terms, a maelstrom of sensations and colors, a thick metallic vortex of fuzztoned guitars with a silent core at the center like the eye of a hurricane - equal parts homegrown and high-tech.

 Shortwave Hum
Now the BBC, CBC and VOA are not in the habit of broadcasting hum on their shortwave transmissions – so something must be wrong with the receiving equipment.

The hum on MF broadcast stations had to be heard to be believed -- but it disappeared as soon as I bypassed the rectifier diodes in the power supply.

 The Body, Speech and Mind of a Buddha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
By His Holiness the Dalai Lama It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast.
In terms of the seed syllables of the five Conqueror Buddhas, hum is the seed syllable of Akshobhya - the immovable, the unfluctuating, that which cannot be disturbed by anything.
