A low hum in USA, Silverdale
It sounds like a cello or bass instrument continuously playing only one note in the lowest octave no higher than g1 sharp. The hum plays both staccato and whole notes, and it strongly resembles a bass instrument playing morse code with one very low octave note. Other things that describe the sound are the hum of semi trailers on the highway, a large box fan, or an outdoor air conditioning unit. I hear the hum even when all fans and air conditioning units are off. I am not near a busy highway. The hum does not match the rhythm of my breathing or heartbeat. I only hear it in my right ear. Sometimes the hum sounds far away and other times it sounds like my ear is in direct line with the sound waves. My right ear hears sounds differently after I had an ear infection a few years ago. I think it can hear lower tones which my other ear cannot hear.

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 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…
very low frequency hum that is constant and does not vary in pitch tone or freqency. I can sometimes feel it in my chest as well as hear it. I have been very sensitive to bass sounds and low…

It is a low continuous hum that I began hearing once I moved from Seattle to Omaha. I hear it strictly in my bedroom. I hear it with earplugs on and with headphones on. I am very sensitive t…

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…
