Sound reminds me of the far off pulsating drones of propeller planes that I heard as a child growing up in the city (Boston, MA USA). Yes. I�m sure, like other people who hear this hum, I became obsessed with trying to find out the source. The first thing I did was to run down to the basement and shut off the electricity to the entire house.......still heard the hum. Ran up to the attic.....still heard the hum.....a tad louder. I�ve noticed it seems a little louder on the second floor and a little louder still, in the attic. Then I ran outside and walked around the neighborhood and heard nothing unusual such as a source. What is interesting to me is I do not hear the hum outside. I then went next door and asked a neighbor I am close with if she heard the hum.....you guessed it ,�no�. The next logical thing to do was to go on the internet to see what I could find, which was not much. Read about the Taos, NM USA hum, the Kokomo IN USA hum.....(turned out to be machinery noise) and the Bristol, England, hum. There were some theories but that�s all. There was a man in Connecticut, USA that was gathering information trying to support his theory that the hum was due to increased pressure in municipal underground gas lines? At the beginning, when I first heard this, it was very upsetting because 1. No one else I felt comfortable asking heard it and 2. It was extremely irritating i.e. the sound itself and feeling like a nut. The time it bothered me most was bedtime and trying to get to sleep. If I couldn�t sleep it got to be a viscous cycle. I find now the hum is still very much there but I am able to somehow ignore it and I�m grateful for that as I�ve read it can be really irritating to some people. So, that�s my �hearing the hum� story. Hope it helps and hope it eventually helps us �hum hearers�. Thank you.
