An account in Belgium, Marcinelle (Charleroi) 6001

The sound seems to come from the sky, an intense vibration. Similar to the frequencies emitted by a diesel engine of a car with a slight acceleration or a larger engine at slow speed. Sometimes the impression that the sound is in my head. Once the sound is heard, my eardrums vibrate ... from one ear to another and louder. I hear the day, I sometimes stop my activity to go around the house to determine where it could come exactly, to put an ear against the walls and furniture .. and I ended up put music, relatively loud to no longer hear and think about it. But it's the night it's the most disturbing .. I focus on my breathing to relax, but if the sound persists, I ended up with my earplugs that do not serve much, since I still hear the sound so vibrant .. I hope you find an answer! Thank you for your work!

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 silen
