what does the phrase 'the low din' mean? Sun Jan 06, 2008 4:06 am  what does the phrase 'the low din' mean?
 

The low,unbroken......of the machine next door gradually bored its way into his brain.

a. din b. thud c. blare d. hum.

The answer is ''din'' but as far as I know, ''din'' is very loud noise and I think it can't go with ''low''. I guess the correct answer here is ''hum''. Am I right?
Please help me. Idea

"Hum" is the best answer, but sometimes it would be possible to say "a low din" with a somewhat ironic meaning.
