I can't find a general thread that really covers this although it's been discussed in the Chirping Pyramid thread and Vibrating Stones at Stonehenge thread.
An online friend visited the chapel at Glanusk, in Wales so I popped into his Flickr account to look at the photos. The chapel seems to have been plonked on top of a stone circle, like they sometimes are, and he wrote underneath one picture (posted with permission):
"Amazing but this stone humms! in one direction only as I passed by I heard quite clearly a humming sound...."

I love this subject. I am fascinated by the idea that stones may have been selected for acoustic properties or the sounds that stones made accidentally have become part of their power and magic.
This is an interesting blog about the investigation of Stonehenge's acoustic properties: http://soundsofstonehenge.wordpress.com/conclusions/

Anyway I thought you'd like to look at the photo and next time you pass that way you could test to see the stone hummed again!
Any other experiences to relate?

Standard measures of acoustics such as envelopment, clarity and definition, as well as speech intelligibility, are in some positions at Stonehenge better than the equivalent values for the Vienna Concert Hall...
