I have heard it in Seattle, Washington. The worst was in Ekenas · 2020-01-16 · from the WORLDHUMMAP archive
A low rumbling, originally I thought it was a large truck idling outside. When I move my head there is a very brief second it stops, before it continues. There’s a slight feeling of vibration at the base of my skull near the back of my neck and kind of inside my ears when it’s been at it’s worst. There can be years where I don’t hear the hum.
