A low hum in Australia, Canberra 2604
Very low frequency that seems to vibrate in my whole body. Continuous though much worse at night and I feel too “ uncomfortable” to sleep. My “theory” is that noise relates to very small vibrations in the water pipes- very small tears or bumps in rubber washers that magnify and resonate, especially when there is less water usage. I’m trying to correlate plumbing work to increases and decreases in hum.

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.
