A low hum in 4404 Flekkefjord, Norway

Deep, pulsating, vibrating, feel it in my body, chest and head/ears, like an idle engine may be an aggregate.. same level constant, no escape There are two oil platforms "resting" in the fjord at 4404 Flekkefjord, I suspect the sound comes from them, may be from a diesel aggregate maybe in connection with periodic maintenance, but noone will "admit" anything. In 4319 Sandnes it is resent and I am not sure where it comes from. Have you considered infrasound from windturbines as a or one possible source of the hum ...?

Long low sine wave form. 24-30Hertz I will say that trying to use ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones doesn’t seem to work. They actually almost make it the hum more pronounced. Durni

Low rumbling hum. Like machinery off in the distance. I can "feel-hear" it. So when you ask if it's in both ears, that's almost difficult to answer. It's just "there" ... kind of always
