A low hum in Edmonton Alberta Canada T6W3L7
A loud hum-it comes on and off at night. I thought it was a household machine like a dryer/washer in the next home. But then the power went off one evening and I could still hear it. I have checked with the neighbors and my family (my 9 yr old granddaughter who stays overnight cannot hear it). I moved to this residence in 2021 and now this hum. I have been dizzy (very dizzy-nauseated in fact) for months at a time. During one episode of nausea and dizziness I couldn't even put a teaspoon of water in my mouth and I was sick. Medically this couldn't be explained. I am moving from this house. I have checked under the huge power lines around my subdivision (no noise) I have checked my appliances (fridge/furnace/hot water tank) at various times in the evening (no humming). I've stood outside and can't hear the hum only inside this house and on the 2nd floor. I found the web site Strange Sounds looking for answers. Thank you for the work you do. I will keep your site bookmarked now.

Like a big truck idling I have located the source of the hum in my case, it is usually a car idling near my house, inside my house the sound of the idling gets amplified and produces that hu…

Low pitched continuous hum. I have wondered whether the hum is caused by the buzzing of the fridge resonating throughout the concrete of the building. I live in a block of 4 flats, 2 up 2 do…
