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.........

It is exactly like in this video (I found it after some days, after a research for the hum source, without knowing the existence of this recording) this is the hum that I hear, around 50Hz a…
It started 9 years ago in my apartment as an intermittent low "buzz pulse" with no rhythm - usually noticed it more when I was going to bed. I never found the source - thought maybe it was a…
Low humming sound, feeling of vibration in head near ear. Morning and all night. Other sounds can cancel it out. It does not overlay it.. But the humming suddenly breaks if any sound (music)…
Low frequency hum with oscillating intensity much like an idling engine. Heard or felt more easily at night from inside the house. Wearing earplugs does not reduce it but rather enhances it …
Sounds as if a 4 to 6 cylinder diesel engine running in the distance. I disconnected my electrical power to the home once to test if the Hum is being generated by the power grid. It made no …
Low continous sound, like a diesel generator or tractor that revs at around 1500 rpm per minute, although distant, like it is running approximately 500 - 1000 meters away. Very low frequency…
A low hum with a specific pattern of long and short hums. Hear it mainly out of my right ear. It's not always constant. Some days I don't hear it at all and other times it's very loud (to me…

a very low frequency hum in two different specific frequencies. The hum switches back and forth between the two frequencies intermittently. When the environment I'm in has other noises the h…

A hum the same sound as from a sub woofer in an expensive sound system. I hear the hum inside my car as soon as I turn off the ignition after parking and when it gets real quiet. I hear the …
