What is HUM?
HUM is a new social media web app where people help each other identify unknown songs, hummed melodies, samples, and audio clips — all through real human interaction, not AI.
Problem
Users struggle to identify unknown songs, hummed melodies, samples, or audio clips using AI tools like Shazam, which often fail to recognize imperfect vocal inputs or obscure tracks.
Solution
