A low hum in Madison, Maine 04950

very low frequency rumbling, dieseal idling, distant thunder sound, a peddalboard on an organ played with the feet that is usually used to produce the low-pitched bass line of a piece of music. The strange part for me is that the tinnitus I have will stop me from hearing the dog barking outside or music in the background but I hear this low basey noise.
