A low hum in Djurhamn 13975, Stockholm Sweden

Low huming like a Diesel engine I am diagnosed with Restless legs syndrome, RLS, which symptoms unfortunately has increased last 5 years (it started 2005). They think that RLS depends on some sort off disturbance in the dopamine supply. For me it is some correlation of the RLS increasing and startup of hearing humming sound. And likely to belive is that the huming sound also is some sort of "disturbancy" in the brain which cater for the conditions to hear these low frekvense sounds. I have an intake of dopamine to mitigate the RLS, but I can stil hear the huming. But althought I feel I get some sort of benifit for also mitigate the huming. (intake of dopamine started 2021 and hunming occured 2018) - This is my own subjective understanding and point of view. And also, greate setup of this webside. For me the huming is a real pain when it goes on at its worst.
