The 1–5 Hz "hum" appears in every precision instrument ever built and has no agreed origin. We propose one.

The hum is the sampling signature of diffuse quantum-vacuum excitations — vacuum granules — whose Compton wavelengths span 22 metres to 22 kilometres. Working backward through standard quantum relations, the granule mass follows as 10^-47 kg (range 10^-50 to 10^-43 kg). No new constants enter; every step uses textbook relations.

Two reproducible public-data results anchor the proposal:

• A floorless 1/f law across nearly four decades in 912 days of public silicon spin-qubit records (Capannelli et al. 2025)
• 18 unexplained spectral lines coincident at both LIGO detectors after every conventional veto

Three parameter-free results give the framework internal structure: a Mass Cancellation Theorem in Kerr geometry (A8); a thermal borderline R_th = 2hc/3k_BT that lands on the 2025 Nobel Prize scales with nothing fitted; and a Single-Vortex Compton Lock at 1.14 μm in superfluid helium-4, a size laboratories already produce.

The framework is not presented as complete. It is presented as a direction: mathematically consistent, geometrically grounded, corroborated across independent archived datasets, and open to rigorous quantum formulation. The decisive tests are low-cost, use archived data, and are publishable either way.

The signal was always there. We are only now learning to listen.
