A low hum in Clark County, Camas
it sounds like a diesel engine idling outside I literally was awoken in the middle of the night to what sounded like a semi-truck idling outside of our house... the sound is a vibrating noise. I searched everywhere and couldn't find the source of the noise... I go outside and cannot hear the noise. I go upstairs the noise intensifies, especially in the south facing rooms. We live on a hill overlooking a valley. There are power lines cross the bottom of our acreage. We've lived here for 9 years and I've never had anything like this happen. Now that it started it won't stop. Trying to go to sleep at night is challenging to say the least.

Sounds as if a 4 to 6 cylinder diesel engine running in the distance. I disconnected my electrical power to the home once to test if the Hum is being generated by the power grid. It made no …

Low frequency - sounds like an airconditioning unit or low frequency diesel truck in the distance. Is louder sometimes than other. Sometimes really loud - particularly at night when everythi…

It is a low-frequency humming noise that has no explanation or source. I hear it mostly at night and inside my home. The noise is similar to a train or a diesel truck engine idling and the n…

Constant low but distinct, penetrating, background rumbling droning noise which surges/pulses similar but not the same as a parked car or lorry engine idling in the near distance. Can hear e…
