A low hum in Canada, Holland Landing

Low frequency hum and vibration Hum started after a peaker electricity power plant was built and is served by high pressure natural gas lines !!! Before my investiagtion, i assumed it was a commuter train idling at nearby train station. Eleiminated it as a source. Investigated hum at 2 AM in car with closed wiindows and driving in various areas..found it extreamly loud in some areas -even with windows down. Need building materials of home to really amplify and sense vibration. Can actually hear vibration through pillow and bed ! Have also used audio app and ipad to graph low frequency him...very obvious however may be reading electronic or app “noise” ...have to confirm a baseline without built in mic connected to test...but clearly see peak at 5-50 Hz.

What they reported

First noticed: 2015

Pitch: 49 Hz
