Constant humming as of a motor at idle or a flying propeller plane Right now as I write this I hear the buzzing. It seems that the exterior is masked with background sounds, but you also hear the attention. I use the earplugs to sleep because I work at night. Ailslan enough to hear absolutely no noise, but the buzz perceives it in the same way. I thought it might be in my head, but if I travel to another place I can not hear it. My wife believes that she also listens to him. I've been listening to him since the end of last year.

Low droning/humming sound, like a distant generator. The sound also comes with slight buzzing/vibratory sensations and gets louder indoors and in certain areas of the house. The sound comes …

A sound similar to a faraway engine (the way some of the tones mesh together or are lost) but occasionally much louder - obnoxiously loud - without any doppler effect to indicate that it's m…

A low humming sound, occasionally waves up and down in nature, but is there when I go to bed and the surrounding sounds stop. Almost sounds like a plane flying over head but lasts for most o…

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…
