A low hum in UK, Durham
Deep droning humming noise. Near constant, with intermittment stoppage for a few seconds at a time. I have been hearing the humfor a week so far. There are several large constuction sites in Durham at the moment, so there are likely some local diesel generators happening. Local river level is unusually low, ground is very dry. Pollen count is very high and I have been feeling the effects of very mild hayfever.
