A low hum in Canada, Galiano Island
Continuous lower frequency hum like motor or generator I sometimes wonder if all those years of living in places that have a refrigerator just got my ears used to a hum and now that I am out here on a rural off the grid island I still hear it internally because the neurons/nerves are stuck from.way over stimulation. There is only a propane fridge here and the hum is definitely not coming from it. There is nothing in this dwelling that would make a loud hum. There are solar powered batteries and an invertor but they are not on all the time and I can't imagine a battery would cause such a loud hum - unless it's being amplified? Ugh. Maybe my neighbours are constantly stunning a gas generator? I'm going to look into that. It sounds like it could be a passing shop but there just aren't that many ships going by. Maybe the nearby power lines? Could.there be a transformer and my darn ears are just really sensitive to that? Or something about this building amplifies it? My mom also lives here and she has developed terrible.tinnitus - a siren she calls it. But she says it's high frequency not the low hum I hear. I really, really wish those neighbours would just turn it off.........
