We used to call it "high speed humming... "

It came from the rudder. (You could feel it shaking) on our fixed keel boat as
we exceeded hull speed... Oh Oh!

Dabbbaaaa Dooo.. Soma! soma! Soma! Yah!

I think I need to get off line for a couple a days...

I don't remember what his speed estimate was but he reported an eerie "tone"
being generated, by the CB trunk apparently, something he had not heard at
usual sailing speeds.
