Friday, May 23, 2014, 1:20 PM - In a federally funded report, researchers confirm that the mysterious "Windsor hum" does exists.
Essex Conservative MP Jeff Watson released the report's findings at a conference at the at the University of Windsor on Friday.
The humming noise, which has been the subject of much speculation for several years in the industrial city, began in 2011.

"Since then, residents in west Windsor and the neighbouring town of LaSalle have been complaining of a mysterious rumble or hum commonly described as an idling truck or locomotive," the CBC says.
In February 2013, a professor and group of scientists and researchers at the University of Windsor set up a recording station in a woodlot that was tuned to record the hum 24/7.
On Friday, researchers revealed that the 'Windsor hum' is real and is likely coming from Zug Island in River Rouge, Michigan.
That industrial strip of land has been under previous investigation by Natural Resources Canada as the "likely source of the noise and vibration."
According to experts, further work is required on the U.S. side of the Detroit River to further pinpoint the source of the sound vibration and the precise location.
Copies of the federal report have been given to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and the mayor of River Rouge, according to the CBC.
