A low hum in USA, Mayflower
Like a plane flying over but never pitching closer or further away. There are two tones that intermittently but constantly pulse. Sometimes the pulses are strong enough to make a muffled pop like you might hear while swimming underwater. The hum is louder in rooms closest to the outer wall which is built with stone.
What they reported
First noticed: 2017
Pitch: The lower tone is close to 100hz but I couldn�t really match up the higher one. My closest would be 435hz for the higher time which is more consistent than the lower.
Loudest: During the night
Where: Indoors
Symptoms: Doesn�t bother me. After I looked it up I am now intrigued and feel priveledged to be one of the few who can hear it.
Changes with weather: Yes, when there is enough to raise the ambient noise louder than the hum.

Low hum, sometimes pulsating, sometimes not. It is very loud. It sounds like a propeller airplane way off in the distance, but it doesn├»┬┐┬╜t go away. Or an 18-wheeler on a busy freeway, …

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
