Low throbbing hum. Usually on an regular interval, rising and falling, with a 2-4 second period. It’s hard to determine if it’s airborne or structure born. Usually earplugs have little to no effect on the amplitude. Usually at night, easier to hear indoors. Will generally last 2-6 nights and then be gone for several weeks or months. It’s frustrating being a technical sound and acoustics person and not being able to identify the sound source.

the accounts read alike, found by meaning rather than by shared details
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
Tell us what you sawIf this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
