A loud but low frequency hum that sounds like a car idling This hum is driving me mad, I get no sleep. It�s not in my head as it�s only in this location, it�s not outside and not any appliances, earplugs don�t help and I�m the only one that hears it. I have a recording of when it was loud to me but it�s too low frequency to hear it on the recording. Why me? I wish I could get help and understanding from somewhere.
