A low hum in Australia; Rural Tasmania: Mole Creek 7304
A relentless, continuous hum throughout day and night - although much louder at night, peaking in intensity in the early hours to dawn. Most times it is steady - very similar to an electricity transformer (which I initially thought it was); but at other random times it pulses in frequency like a generator subject to load. We live in a small hamlet (population 240) in a valley with nearest town (pop 3000) over 20kms away. Vehicle traffic at night is virtually non-existent - perhaps 1 vehicle per hour. There is no industry in town likely to generate this hum (and I have checked all the transformers); town water treatment and pumping is over 5kms away, and only local light industry is a quarry also over 5kms away. The local area has significant limestone caves and associated underground water flows.

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.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
