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 )"

Has this happened to you?
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.
