An account in Colchester, Essex

Low sounding motor going round & round. It's all around me. I think I am quite a logical person.... The most frustrating thing has been not being able to find the source. I cannot tell you if the noise is above, below me, it's just around me. I can put my fingers in my ears, so I cannot hear anything but the pulse/vibrations is still there. It's the most annoying noise. I have taught myself how to deal with it, but it does drive me nuts ! I was renovating my bathrooms & heating & it was during this time I first started hearing it.

A low hum that can slightly fluctuate. It reminds me of the sound of the old oscilloscopes. I only hear it at night, generally after 1 A.M. and it awakens me from my sleep. It keeps me awake
