At least one prehistoric bullaun is reputed to be a "humming
stone" :
if you put your head in the hollow of the stone and hum different notes, you
may hit a note which produces a gentle vibrating sensation in your body.
This stone is at Rossfeld, near Berne in Switzerland, and I am assured that
this is an actual Summstein.
