I've heard of it, of course -- I left Seattle before the West Seattle Hum became a thing, but I know people who heard it. That turned out to be caused by a huge pump used to unload bulk cargoes in the harbor, with defective sound control equipment on it. Plenty of other hums also have their origin in malfunctioning technology -- but there are others that seem to have other causes. There are lots of strange noises in the world. As for occult explanations, for the last forty years or so there's been very little contact between the occult scene and the anomalies-investigation scene. That wasn't the case before then -- to name only one example, Meade Layne, an important early UFO investigator, was a Golden Dawn initiate and a very capable occultist -- but most anomaly researchers these days don't want anything to do with occultists. So the investigations that might turn up occult causes haven't happened.
