A low hum in Lancashire, North England
Low deep hum, heard mostly at night as I'm a poor sleeper it wakes me up, been happening a number of years now, need to sleep with a fan on to cancel the noise out. My oldest son has Asperger's but says he never heard a hum, though he is hearing sensitive to vacuum cleaner, washing machine ect.
My youngest daughter who is 5 is also noise sensitive she hears it too.
I don't know if this is tied in with this study but I an RH negative.
