Rumbling in Belgium, South of Antwerp
A very deep rumble. Not a 'clean tone', but varying in amplitude and frequency within the very low range. When very silent (no traffic, no neighbours running around) it becomes visible on my recently installed iPhone app 'Signal Sound X', as a irregular wave, sometimes multiple waves, that are below the normal ambient suburban sound. Sometimes the sound resonates in my ear, as if it is a harmonic, creating and irritating feeling deep in my ear. I also suffer from mild tinnitus for many decades after the one to many rock concert, but that is a auto generated high pitched sound. The ruble just stopped now, after weeks on end. I hoped to find a possible pattern here, on your site. Mean while i'll enjoy the silence. :-) While it lasts.... I'd like to add that i cut the electricity mains to make sure it was no appliance. I also went from cellar to attic and can barely notice a difference, when it's on.
What they reported
First noticed: 2017
Pitch: I already tried to duplicate the sound with this online tool ! But it does not give the same very low rumble. It seems lower that the 39Hz that can be generated by the speakers/soundcard. It's also more complex that a single wave.

Low frequency, rumbling hum, almost sounds like the noise of a large distant war plane I first noticed this sound when I was about half way through pregnancy with my first (and only) child. …
Low frequency rumbling sounds like it is machinery running in the distance or at first I thought it must be a tumble dryer or similar running in another house. It started about a month ago (…
The sound seems to come from the sky, an intense vibration. Similar to the frequencies emitted by a diesel engine of a car with a slight acceleration or a larger engine at slow speed. Someti…

It's similar to the sound of my fridge when the motor cuts in, only a bit lower in frequency. I can also compare it to the distant, low sound of an engine running or a cement mixer on a dist…

Very low frequency hum, like the sound a diesel vehicle would do from a distance before getting too close, but constant all the time. I can hear the noise better when it is completely silen…

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.
