Low frequency hum that pulses slowly but aperiodically. Palpable vibration. A feeling of tension when the hum is happening. Possibly a mild nosebleed. When the hum stops my whole body relaxes suddenly and a small amount of fluid drains from my ears. The feeling is comparable to when you have a bad headache and then the advil kicks in.
