a very how hum, or droning, or gurgling droning like a truck engine idling in the distance. it enters my head through the bones of my skull, not through my ears. Earplugs are useless unfortunate. the sound is so low i can almost feel it. It is always here, sometimes louder, sometimes higher or lower. Always present. Background sounds only mask the sound when it is the right frequency. A low sound, like "Nuclear Submarine Ambient Noise ( 8 Hours )"

Low drone, shifting between two tones at times, sometimes with tiny breaks in between. Sounds almost like a neighbour playing a bass instrument (but it's not). The sound makes me feel ill, v…

Very low frequency hum, like the sound a diesel vehicle would do from a distance before getting too close, but constant all the time. I can hear the noise better when it is completely silent…
