It's more of a feeling, with a rumble or drone that seems to be right at the edge of my hearing. It ranges from a low frequency rumble that feels like the bed or floor is slightly shaking (I thought the cat was itching at the foot of the bed the first time) to a higher frequency drone or buzz that I feel in my muscles like a light electrical current, and in my head, making me feel foggy and off balance. The higher frequencies are most disturbing, I hear a whine like a wasp or a drill at the edge of my hearing, and it feels like my muscles are electrified almost. They will randomly twitch, my stomach makes gurgling noises and cramps a bit in waves. It scrambles my brain, it almost feels like there's pressure in my head. It is very difficult to sleep, and when I do get bits of sleep, I have vivid bad dreams about rumbling things and wake up frequently. My partner doesn't feel it, but one night he did mention the bed shaking a bit when it was going on, and sometimes his sleep seems disturbed when it really ramps up (though I can't be sure this isn't due to my own agitation). Also, the house has made popping and settling noises during these sessions. Most times it starts out with the low trembling bed shaking, then increases in frequency slowly until it is a dizzying "wom-wom-wom" that gets faster until it is like an electrical hum that makes me twitchy and confused and agitated. I have only lived in this house for a month, and I have experience extreme discomfort 4 times, with lesser affects several other nights ranging from slight shaking of the bed to weird temporary fogginess. I have only noticed it at night after 10 pm. I only hear it in my bedroom. I have checked appliances, checked with the neighbors about possible sources, I have searched the house and outside ( I don't hear it outside). I have checked for possible sources nearby, such as train yards, construction, generators, utilities, etc. There is a very small airstrip a few miles away, seems an unlikely source, and a small electrical substation maybe a half mile away, also seems unlikely. I have only been there a month so I am still investigating.

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.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
