Sounds like obnoxious constant low, deep droning turbine, pump or some sort of machinery motor of some sort and it sounds as if it�s coming from deep underground. Rarely ever changes in intensity (and when it seems like it, it may be just ambient sound making it more difficult to hear) nor does it have an ascending or descending auditory component to it. I thought I was crazy for years until I met others that could hear the sound. I�d rather the sound be natural from Mother Earth but I have deep suspicions it is reverberations of man made machinery such as underground pumps, turbines, transformers or something similar sending sound vibrations that only few can hear. For me, it�s almost like I feel it as well. It is obnoxious and obviously most noticeable at night when one gets into bed and lays quietly. With almost all of mankind�s other noise at a minimum it�s so easy to hear then and seems overwhelmingly louder. Alternatively, trying to meditate quietly during the day will result in the same frustration. I wish it could end. I�m just glad everyone doesn�t have to suffer hearing it but maybe if they all did we would do something about it as scientists and figure it out instead of labeling people crazy. it can�t be healthy physically. It certainly isn�t healthy emotionally!

A lower hum that does increase in volume at times. It stays at a steady pace but, at times can change to a different pattern of wave. It will then go back to the original. It's like a "voooo…
