Pilot witness in zip code 05875 USA
This is not an internal phenomenon. I hear it inside the house, outside the house, I have driven several miles from my home and heard it when I am still and the area is quiet. It sounds like it is coming from at least 3 miles away, but could be much further. The sound is virtually identical to a passing aircraft except it does not change in pitch or volume. I am also a pilot and have worked at a small airport.
What they reported
First noticed: Before 1990
Pitch: The tone does not sound like the hum
Loudest: During the night
Where: Equal indoors and outdoors
Symptoms: I experience no medical symptoms. Just curiosity.
Changes with weather: I am not aware of any correlation, but I doubt I can hear it over rain.

A low humming, mechanical type sound. Almost like a car playing rap music far away or a helicopter flying in the distance that won't go away. I only hear it in my bedroom. There is a smart m…

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.
