A low hum in Windsor, ON
Low pitch hum line a large diesel engine idling I first noticed this around 12/23 or 12/24 2023, this is different from the "Windsor Hum", that stopped when the zug island blast furnace was shut down. That was at the very bottom of audible hearing range and was felt more than heard, this seems to contain several frequencies that vary slightly through the day either 56+72 or 16+27+73. Those all vary a few hz, but 56 and mostly 27-30 seem to be the most common peaks of each tone.
