Wasn't there some seaside west coast towns that were inundated with a constant low hum, over the decades?  And it ended up being some specific kind of fish that migrated into the bay during mating season.

Yes. I remember that.

QuoteOne of the possible causes of the West Seattle Hum considered was that it was related to the midshipman fish, also known as a toadfish.[39] A previous hum in Sausalito, California, also on the west coast of the United States, was determined to be the mating call of the male midshipman.[40] However, in that case the hum was resonating through houseboat hulls and affecting the people living on those boats. In the West Seattle case, the University of Washington researcher determined that it would be impossible for any resonating hum, transmitted via tanker or boat hulls, to be transmitted very far inland; certainly not far enough to account for the reports.

Last I heard, the Sausalito CA episode was definitely confirmed as an unusual gathering of these fish in that location.
