Very low frequency sound. Humming turning on and off like it tunes at different low frequencies but stays consistent. I typically hear it the most in the evenings when the daily activities and sounds are tuned out in the rest of the house and I can never pin point the sound in my house or outside of my house. It just sounds like very very persistent and consistent “energy”. I began noticing it almost immediately upon moving into our new house last Summer basically every day and thought it was power in my house but it persists when I turn all the power off in my home so I started to get discouraged, but my mom recently told me about the hum phenomenon and I feel like I’m not alone anymore. As I type I can hear the low frequency and it sounds like it’s tuning on and off on and off. No
