Wanting firm explanations and reasons and sense. But not everything is easy to make sense of, maybe lots of it won't ever make sense.
This is slightly off at a tangent, but I was reading this rather interesting account of an expedition in the arctic
http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/100355#page/25/mode/1up
(a few pages back there's an excellent account of building an igloo)
but that page talks about them watching the aurora borealis. And they think they can hear it, but they're not sure. They're not sure it's their imaginations or whether it's real.
And so I thought I'd have a quick google about it and it seems it's still a contentious thing - maybe they DO make a noise, or maybe they do something that means some people can detect it and some maybe can't

Well I watched it when in Iceland and what I can say is that when you first witness it you are so locked into it that your senses highten and maybe that is why people say they can hear it. I can't say I did but there you are!
