A low hum in USA, Columbus
A hum sound that seems to be in my ear rather than coming from the outside. Its stronger inside my house than outside. But it is not from any device in my home. It varies in intensity. Sometimes going from weak to strong in less than a second interval and sometimes a longer. Up to a few seconds. But doesn't stay constant. It is strongest in my basement. I got a new neighbor in the house closest to me when this started. I wonder if she has installed something that might be causing this. Probably a coincidence.
