A noise two percent of people can hear

Five years ago there were reports of "the Surbiton hum", precisely where I live – that is, I reside in exactly the part of Surbiton where the hum is most audible, to those who can discern it. Reports started in a local forum and made their way up to an article in The Times[0] which was itself reported in Fortean Times[1]. I was kinda disappointed not to be able to hear it myself.

Could it be registered with equipment that was designed to pick up low frequency sound? Is the trouble with tracking down this stuff is because it's hard to get directional readings and triangulate low frequency sound? (The reason it doesn't matter where you position a subwoofer in a surround sound setup).
