A low hum in Ashgrove, Brisbane
A low humming sound, occasionally waves up and down in nature, but is there when I go to bed and the surrounding sounds stop. Almost sounds like a plane flying over head but lasts for most of the night until other sounds start occurring. WHen I quickly move my head it goes away briefly, but back straight away as soon as I stop. I have also turned power off thinking it was electrical hum but it remained and I also went outside and couldn't hear it. I moved bedrooms in the house thinking sound might be reverberating in the corner of my bedroom, but it continued. My wife and kids cannot hear it. I had a hearing test and had perfect hearing, in fact I had better than perfect hearing and the Audiologist was impressed, but suggested I see a GP and ENT, which I have not done. It is starting to really affect my sleep. I live next to an army base (a street on the border) and have wondered whether it is something they are doing? I didn't get it at my last house I lived in in November last year. It only occurs in my right ear. I still hear it with sleeping ear plugs in. So started to assume it was an internal anatomical thing. I hear it with ear plugs out also, but I step outside my house in the middle of the night and it's gone. So bizarre. I have googled and googled and when I found your description it was almost perfectly my issue.....I've never before heard of the Universal Hum! Weird
