A low hum in cleveland hts oh 44118 USA

low pitched hum/vibration, fluctuating with intensity, non directional. When I am inside I hear it and it seems like it is coming from outside but when outside I can't really hear it. it is reassuring to hear other people describe this hum so exactly like i hear it. Glad to know I'm not going nuts - or at least I think I'm not going nuts!

Like an aircraft or maybe a street sweeper, but it doesn't get closer or farther away. It is not solid. Sometimes it sharpens from a dull hum to almost a pure tone, but intermittent enough

Low rumbling hum. Like machinery off in the distance. I can "feel-hear" it. So when you ask if it's in both ears, that's almost difficult to answer. It's just "there" ... kind of always
