A low hum in Nakusp, British Columbia
distant idling large diesel engine (locomotive) - kind of pulsing One thing I did take note of it was still there during a major power outage that took out the whole town and surrounding area for 24 hours eliminating anything electrical. There probably was some small backup generator running somewhere but it wouldn't be large enough to simulate the hum I hear. I'm quite familiar with all sizes and types right up to Locomotive.
This is the closest simulation I have found => https://youtu.be/EuRBM0i8mbI

Changes with weather: Haven't noticed, as I stated above I'm used to it, no bother, just background noise

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
