An account in Finland, Turku

It is a very low but strong sound like an diesel engine. I can hear it in my house at day time and at night.Earplugs make it worse at it makes the other sounds dissapear in the environment. It started straight away when i moved to a new house a year ago, had never had this problem before. First i thoughed it was someone outside playing music so that i could hear the bass. After that i started to hear it also at our summer cottage and at my mothers place,but only in certain rooms! I have noticed that i cant hear the sound in blockhouses(appartments?) but only in one floor houses,(ground floor). The constant lack of sleep is horrible when trying to manage work and other things. Other people dont hear it,or not the way i do. I have also put all the electricity off from my house,but the sound still goes on. Im very happy that someone is collecting this data,as it would be so important to figure out if this sound comes inside or outside the ear to get help and a better quality of life.

It sounds like the a very low pitched noise. Its like when the sound is dissipating after a huge gong is hit and you can feel the after effect in the air and hear a low pitched ringing. Its
