A low hum in Doncaster, South Yorkshire
Low drone, shifting between two tones at times, sometimes with tiny breaks in between. Sounds almost like a neighbour playing a bass instrument (but it's not). The sound makes me feel ill, vibrates my body, ear drums and head. It is so loud I can hardly mask it with anything. It's an oppressive, droning sound. I use wax earplugs every night to reduce noise. I have Complex-PTSD. I live in an area where there have been a lot of mines. I live a few miles from a power plant.
