Rumbling in Wichita, Kansas 67203
It’s more a feeling of vibration than a sound. Very low pitch. It’s pulsating, but not rhythmic. Sounds like the rumbling of a train off in the distance or a large vehicle idling. It’s always worse when I have sinus congestion. I’m so glad to find out this actually exists. Thought I was going crazy. This has caused so much distress, especially with doctors saying it’s all in my head.

First noticed: 2014
Pitch: It’s difficult to tell. The lowest I can hear on this link is about 25 hertz and it still doesn’t sound low enough. I feel the hum more than I hear it.
Loudest: During the night
Where: Indoors
Symptoms: Ear discomfort (pain, fullness, throbbing), Headache, Insomnia, Sense of vibration, I have anxiety anyway, plus a couple of autoimmune diseases. It’s difficult to say if this hum is related or not.
