A low hum in Lake Charles, LA in the USA
low frequency, sounds like a car far away on idle. Or a small old generator in a box with blankets over the box, muffled and in every room. Fans help but not entirely. It will speed up for a couple seconds then back to normal. Never ending. Bose headphones can not drown it out. Only inside apartment. Except 1 time outside it was the same tone but very loud only a few seconds just today. I was standing under a small roof. Apt managers could not locate it. No one can hear it but me. I put my fingers into my ears and it stops. So its not my hearing. It has a pattern of droning on noise. I thought about building a faraday cage. Driving me crazy. not really
