A low hum in Odivelas

Very low frequency resonance Bening a muaician with sound mixing/recording skills, I can firmly say that the hum is not oeiginally a sound. It is a resonance, vibration, that propagates to your location and resonates with the materials (ex: house walls) around you creating the so called "hum. It's an extremely low frequency hat is created, that can only be captured by drums microphones specially designed to record the kick-drum. These microphones don't use a diaphragm but instead a piezoelectric material to convert physical resonances into sound.

Low frequency hum The hum is loudest inside the house but sounds like it is coming from outside. When I go outside it is still audible but less so with ambient noise and I cannot determine a

The sound is a somewhat oscillating rolling mid bass frequency that seems to also produce a high pitch resonance in the house as an overtone or I forgot the word I was thinking of to describ
