They never said, but I have it on good authority that Aragorn discovered by laying his ear on the stone, he can pick up the local rock-and-roll station out of Meduseld...
All Hail His Most Scruffy and Scrumptious Dishevelledness, Aragorn Arathornsson, The Greatest Tracker of Middle-earth.
I've always enjoyed that scene because it was actually lifted out of the book. I guess we have to thank Tolkien's childhood enjoyment of stories featuring American Indians for it. *g*
...or maybe he was just trying to pick up the local rock-and-roll station....
