A low hum in Canada, Langley British Columbia
Oscillating, almost whining far away sound that cannot be blocked out by anything, plus pressure that feels like it is coming from the floor/ground, although months of detection shows no ground source for pressure. I feel it through the night and so does my Dad. Other family in house do not say they are really bothered by it. I've read that low frequency vibrating is like this - hurts some people, but not others. It is not farming, road work, hvac or heat pumps .... I've been looking all over the place with a sound meter.

Low frequency hum with oscillating intensity much like an idling engine. Heard or felt more easily at night from inside the house. Wearing earplugs does not reduce it but rather enhances it …
Sounds as if a 4 to 6 cylinder diesel engine running in the distance. I disconnected my electrical power to the home once to test if the Hum is being generated by the power grid. It made no …
Low continous sound, like a diesel generator or tractor that revs at around 1500 rpm per minute, although distant, like it is running approximately 500 - 1000 meters away. Very low frequency…
