A disturbing, vibrating, continual rumbling sound that gets louder at night when other sounds are reduced. The noise/vibration/frequency prevents me from sleeping many nights or from ever sleeping well. Over one year ago, I moved north, out of the San Francisco Bay Area, to a rural area to try to find peace. While there are fewer cell towers and antenna in this area, according to antenna search dot com website -- unfortunately, I'm still experiencing sleep deprivation problems due to the Hum. For several years now, the Hum has been destroying my health. The Hum causes lack of sleep and confuses my thinking from the vibrations and the noise. Doing the day, it's hard to be productive. I'm constantly exhausted. I've aged several years in the last few years. Please help people with solutions. Does a Faraday Cage help?

It's a deep, rumbling sound that is similar to a running diesel engine, or music with a deep bass being played. Although it helps to play music/put on a fan to drown out the hum, putting my …

Very low pulsating rumble. Not unlike a distant diesel engine. I used to live near an alloy plant that had cooling towers with a very similar sound but this is much lower in frequency. The v…

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…
