Buzzing in Victoria, B.C. (Maltwood and Emily Carr)
like a noisy old florescent light that is constantly on and buzzing (100 - 150 hz) There are several BC Hydro heavy duty transmission lines nearby as well as numerous cell towers. There are smart meters in the townhouse complex. US Military does aerial training (fighter jets - EA 18G growlers) over Canadian airspace above Victoria. This was particularly noticeable in our area in Dec 2017 - one month before the noise appeared.

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
