The first time I heard it, it was mechanical and very high pitched. It had a slight grinding or mechanical sounds beneath the high pitch. Almost like the sound of a jet flying rooftop level of our home, but around 10 times louder. My 15 year old daughter heard it as well while my other 14 year old daughter slept through it. My dog did not notice it or react to it in any way. It was loud enough to cause both myself and my daughter to cover our ears and double over in pain, but it was NOT the sound of the sound barrier breaking. Had it been actual planes, they would have needed to be flying low enough that we would have experienced shaking windows, etc. None of that happened. In addition, the sound lasted approx. 5 minutes. We have jets fly over daily. They can only be heard for around 60 seconds and then the sound is gone. Now I hear a lower hum.
What they reported
First noticed: 2018
Pitch: 1000 triangle is closest to the pitch of the original. Current is close to 320 sine
Loudest: Equal night and day
Where: Indoors
Symptoms: Original caused ear discomfort. Current is more annoying than anything.
It is exactly like in this video (I found it after some days, after a research for the hum source, without knowing the existence of this recording) this is the hum that I hear, around 50Hz a…
It started 9 years ago in my apartment as an intermittent low "buzz pulse" with no rhythm - usually noticed it more when I was going to bed. I never found the source - thought maybe it was a…

Low frequency hum with oscillating intensity much like an idling engine. Heard or felt more easily at night from inside the house. Wearing earplugs does not reduce it but rather enhances it …

Low frequency, rumbling hum, almost sounds like the noise of a large distant war plane I first noticed this sound when I was about half way through pregnancy with my first (and only) child. …
