That answer has 4 upvotes. A much more electrically literate answer above it, with 35 upvotes, explains in detail that it is a real thing.

The accepted answer is not electrically illiterate in any way.

The upvoted answer, while it may be correct, doesn't argue for the existence of the phenomenon called "induced atmospheric vibration".

It may be that it's supposed to refer to corona discharge, which does make a sound ("atmospheric vibration"). But that sound is not the root cause of anything; it is just a side effect of no consequence.

It is a plausible hypothesis that "induced atmospheric vibration" it's just someone's misunderstanding (possibly of an explanation similar to what's in that upvoted answer), with some misstranslation being a contributing factor.

The two answers simply don't contradict each other.

government official had to make press conference just to tell people to stop spreading that nonsense you promote as "electrically literate" so that is that.

whole stack overflow question is bunch of nonsense, so why do we even argue about it?
