The Ears Have It

A mystery sound in Auckland, New Zealand, has made life unbearable for some residents with super ears!
Scientists confirm the presence of an intermittent low-level drone sounding off at a frequency of 56 hertz. Very few people can hear sound waves of that frequency, but those who do report an annoying rumble like an airplane passing overhead. Scientists can't pinpoint the source of the noise, but no who has studied the noise says it's not a geological phenomenon. One man with exceptional ears even tried to intentionally damage his hearing by holding a chainsaw close to his ear in hopes of escaping the drone. I wonder what it is?
