But even so, if you were wise, you would hum as well.

Large homogenous objects make noise. Most theories i’ve heard think it’s a result of vibration/internal stresses.

But is the joke that it will hum because that feature is money well spent, or because a large orb just does because of science, or because it just does and no one knows why?

Well because it comes out of the defence budget it would be a military installation and therefore the hum is classified

I think you’re not taking it seriously enough. The number of benefits from this would be immense.
