A low hum in England, London SE24 0LG
Faint, persistant drone. Like the hum of a neighbours fridge, a power station or an amp left on. But is none of these and has no discernable source. Same house: No hum 1997 to 2008. Not every night 2008 to approx 2011/2. Every night to present day. I used to experience balance and fainting problems during menopause (2011 - 2013). Dr checked ears - fine. Gave no diagnosis.
