This is not constructive thing to say… but more crazy than the hum is the fact no professional can explain it!! Isnt this bizarre in 2022… I dont mean any exciting conspiracy but there must be an answer out there somewhere

My ignorance: in medical literature there IS a humming sound related to tinnitus. That's not how I experienced it. Mine was/is (it sometimes comes back) a ringing sound. Some of the other possible sounds are described as crickets, whooshing, or hissing. These are pretty much the same sound, and are what I experienced when the tinnitus was getting better and the ear was healing. It's a less intense tinnitus and I would describe it as a sound similar to when you put your ear next to a sea shell or like the wind. (It depends on what stage of healing you're at.) Just my experience. Maybe other people's too.

Edit: Now I'm finding sources that agree with what I originally said. "That humming noise isn’t tinnitus (Ménière’s disease). No link has been found between both although medical experts still suggest, it’s a form of tinnitus." https://strangesounds.org/the-hum 

M Mikey, I am from the rural U.S. It seems like the Hum is disproportionately heavy in the Anglosphere. Literature and maps indicate that. https://thehum.info/newhummap/html_docs/

@HU-251938516. If I had to bet on it, the vast majority of cases are from a mechanical source. I think most people can tell when they have an auditory problem versus hearing an odd external sound. But doctor's visits and talking to others with the same experience can give reassurance. And can usually distinguish a natural sound from a mechanical one. Most Hum hearers seem to intuitively know it's mechanical.

For what's it's worth: On Monday I had my allergies tested and I spoke to the nurse about the strange noise. She thinks the sound is caused by inflammation in my ears due to allergies. I go back to the ENT July 1st. I am going to talk to her about this sound again. What I believe: From all the research and talking to people on this forum, I think the sound is external but my ability to hear it comes and goes based on inflammation in my ears. Right before it rains when the barometric pressure drops, I cease to hear the sound. So, I definitely think it has something to do with inflammation or whatever is causing the hum stops right before it rains. I am going to look around and see if I can see a generator near me or a roof with solar panels.

I think I found my source...it was the damned fridge! When in the kitchen it didn't seem like the source because of the other frequencies being emitted but in my bedroom it would vibrate the low hum through the bed. I turned the fridge cooling down a notch and now no low hum rattle. It's amazing how sound travels through objects. It wasn't even loud in the kitchen.

We have just moved to a new house and can hear a constant hum throughout! It’s completely exasperating! still working on the source but like others it can be heard outside the house as well as inside …

As far as answers are concerned, I did read on another thread one thing. Someone was living a few miles from a train yard and could apparently still hear the sound from the diesel engines as they were idling/coming in and out of the yard. The sound was coming into their chimney and reverberating through the house. They were able to reduce the noise by changing their chimney lining.

I dont know whether this helps anyone. We’ll be checking out the chimney in this house though. If it is external noise then we’ll need to reduce the number of ways it can get into the house..

I have the same thing. I can't figure it out? Is there some kind of sound engineer that can follow the sound? I would hire one. I can't take it anymore. It's going on two years.

There is a humming I hear in my house also (UK based) its definitely not electric, as turned off all the power, but it's constant, like 3 buzzes, dumm dum dum, first buzz seems a little longer than the other two, not sure on the frequency but think it's low as I hear it clearly but my partner has to really try to hear it, and ive always been more sensitive to more bass sounds. Can't work it out, but it's loud enough to effect my falling asleep as I just end up focusing on the noise, which I can hear in all rooms of the house, but loudest in the bedroom.

Okay so I found this article 🤔 https://theconversation.com/cracking-the-mystery-of-the-worldwide-hum-60296

I just wanted to update everyone. I am still hearing the noise in spite of the blueberries. LOL. Yeah I know, I didn't think that was a cure but they did stop after I starting having my blueberry smoothie. It is back now but very light. The ENT finally said she thought maybe it was due to my TMJ. Time will tell I guess. Mine is not electrical either because I have turned off all the electric in the house with the master switch and still can hear the sound. Meanwhile, I am wearing my mouth guard. Yes, I can hear the noise all over the house, but like you Nina mine is loudest in the bedroom and bathroom. I have read about the hum but from videos I have listened to it is not what I am hearing. Mine is a little higher pitched and more of a tone than a hum. I really wish we could get to the bottom of this. More and more I am thinking it is from cell towers.

I am in rural Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺 and I have a hum. It has been happening for just of 2 years and so at a constant 90-100hz throughout the whole house. It is driving me insane....I have ruled out tinnitus. The power company did noise testing, but only Db so they can confirm it was within noise regulations. I really need to know what it is......

Yes I hear humming all the time in my house! it is driving me crazy! I agree the cell towers are causing it!

And what is your evidence that cell towers are causing it?

“There is a humming I hear in my house also (UK based) its definitely not electric, as turned off all the power, but it's constant, like 3 buzzes, dumm dum dum”

this is exactly the same for me! the first one longer, then two slightly shorter ones

Hi all

so - wife and i have both had our ears checked and its not us! We’re averaging about 3 hours sleep though a night so both really tetchy and irritable.

we were wondering whether the smart meters in our new house could be causing it. @jaime did you get anywhere investigating that in your situation? in the uk all the utility companies promote smart meters all the time so hard to find anything negative about them. We are trying to get the local utility company to come out and check but it all takes time and effort (things we find hard to give right now!) We should also be getting an electician out on the 20th to do testing on our fuse board in case that has anything to do with it.…

@kudzu9

I called the cell phone company and they said they were turning off their 3G towers. While it was turned off the noise went away. Then on a Monday it started back up so I talked to her again and she said they had just boosted their 5G tower. So, that is why I tend to think it is cell towers causing the sound.

Moved into a new build house, noticed this hum, deep humming, that not everyone can hear, feels like your in a box, you feel the bass noise in your head. But also noticed the same hum in my car other side of town. Not pinned it down, but now I work on the docks not even a mile away, and it sounds very similar to the idling cargo ships engine low bass warbling humming, whum whum whum whum

I live in Australia, country Victoria and noticed the hum about 5 years ago. It gives me migraines and seems to kill my working memory and leaves me feeling fatigued so sometimes it's back to bed to try to escape it. A fan or fan noise masks it somewhat. I also hear it 2 or 3 hundred metres from my house, and at a house in a different town about 6 km from here. I believe that it's a high tech weapon that the intelligence community use to keep people from being able to live a normal productive life. The hum is often used on journalists, political dissidents, alpha males, and attractive people (because they are seen as a potential threat by the gov. ...people tend to vote for attractive people). I'm an ex political activist (protester), and I believe that the Chinese govt. is involved, along with the Masonic people.

Not only a humm but the house shakes

Oh my gosh. ive been researching this for about 2 years! I reside in western Washington- my house was built in 2007, never any issues until… At first I heard this JUST in the summer of 2019 but then it was gone- at that time, I was also getting bees in my bedroom; i have not since. Anyway, I’ve heard it off and on over the years but it has been nonstop for months. Same kind of rattling, hum, and consistant. i don’t live by any cell towers, trains, or industrial area- i live in a rual community.

Use an Infrasound or Low Frequency Sound Detector App on your smartphone. These sounds will have a source and you can likely track down where they're coming from by following the frequency amplitudes as you move around to where they're highest. The best thing about this is that we now have a way to prove there is a sound that's disturbing us and it's measurable and proveable by anyone, but there's still a way to go to get legislation and regulations caught up to the point where they properly take into account the health impacts of LFS, and authorities, companies and buildings maintenance have better measurement standards, given that much lower amplitude low frequency sounds can cause equal if not more disturbance than higher ones.

They can be from underground gas and water mains or underground rivers and those are going to be very difficult to get much done about them, but if they come from machinery, powerplants or railway tranformers and things like that you can usually get local authorities to do something about it if you can find a group of affected people and complain enough. If you hear or feel it, it's very likely that several other people do to but just probably also don:t know what to do about it.

The ventilation unit in the roof of my block of flats causes a Low frequency hum and vibrations that disturbs my sleep, affects my memory and basically zombifies me, gives me headaches, heart palpatations and on past occasions tinnitus so loud I couldn't hear someone talking to me from 10 feet away.

Thankfully my building maintenance company seems to be taking the complaint seriously now, and hopefully is able to do something to resolve it soon, but it has not been easy and a two year ordeal of being told they're in perfect working order and nothing can be done and having to force the issue until I got an appropriate response, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Hi, HU-804984282, which app(s) do you suggest? Thank you.

Hmmm. i looked in App store, there are 2 for Low Frequency Sound Detector. l’ll look into this more & update.

Yes your house could be resonating from the older acoustic fatigued major high pressured natural gas pipelines everywhere that has become an epidemic of it world wide as claim by man on internet named Steve Kohlhase. He has a YouTube video called "The Hum: The unexplained Noise that only 2% of People can Hear!" Once you hear it and feel it's vibrations that means it is on your frequency that your body and ears, eyes resonate at! Not everybody will hear it or feel it but it can still affect them in their health or mentally and not know it. everyone can see the water in plastic bottles or jugs or rain water puddles or swimming pool water surface vibrate subtly at fast pace pattern and sometimes it will cause bad light fixtures in house or outside to flicker! It will even cause digital t.v., cell phone screens, computer screens to have a subtle flickering or more snow but will not distort the image on the screen! It will also be heard on some radio stations when turning the dial in the static noise! The noise can be heard coming through refrigerators, furnaces, desk home computer towers causing them to sound subtly, louder, work harder or break down older models! You can use a volume boost recording app on cell phone to hear and record the noise with headphones it will sound like a diesel engine noise but the noise is actually everywhere in house coming from outdoors through walls and floors because the whole house and environment is resonating with the Infrasound low frequency gas pipeline noise! It is vibrating everything but only those sensitive to it both human and animal will be aware to feel it and hear it! The noise can cause ear drum pressure, ear aches, headaches, blurry vision, insomnia, drowsiness, pressure on internal organs, muscle twitches, spasms, dizziness, loss of balance, heart palpitations, fast heart rate, anxiety, depression, fear and depression, anger! Infrasound low frequency noise is used in scary movies soundtrack to make audience react and feel fear watching the movie. It is a crime to let these major pipelines do this to the public but authorities are not doing anything about it! Infrasound intrusion has to be block coming into the house using fan turned on or listening to music on certain frequencies like 256 Hertz to drown it out, white noise or pink noise, get out of house more, sleep with ear plugs

Oh man, Im getting this too. Low frequency whirring/hum noise. What @Debbie has explained it as seems the most similar to what Im experiencing. I have tinnitus too. Seems to come and go. But avoiding alcohol and caffeine seems to help. Trying the blueberry trick tonight, but I can still hear it. Can't figure out if it's a real noise or not! Any further news?

My Tinnitus went away as it always does at this time of year but the noise remains. I have been wearing my mouth guard to see if somehow the TMJ is producing this noise but so far I am still hearing it. It has gotten a little less loud. But I am having some teeth issues and some major inflammation which I am taking antibiotics for, however before I got the antibiotics the noise was very loud and constant. So, if no one else can hear it then I think it could be connected to inflammation. Either that or it is towers but so far I haven't found anyone else that can hear it. I asked the receptionist at the doctors office to come out to my car and she couldn't hear it. SIGH. I will update as time goes on. TMJ they say can take 3 months to resolve so we will see. I gave up gum chewing too.

I don't think tinnitus is the culprit! According to Steve Kohlhase who is a mechanical engineer and has the same noise/vibrations in his house since 2009 he says it is the acoustic and metal fatigued old major high pressured liquid natural gas pipelines where many of them have been modulated at the gas compressor stations causing the problem. I have this same low frequency noise/vibration in my house too it sounds like a diesel engine in the walls and floors day and night! I live right next to a major gas Pipeline running down my street like a great leviathan snake creature that is under the street and you can see all of it's gas pipeline markers above ground! These monster pipelines everywhere are so long they go through more than one state! These gas pipelines even connect to other countries for example united states gas pipelines to Canada gas pipelines traveling underground and under rivers and many people that are resonating with it living on or near those gas pipeline routes hear the low frequency diesel engine noise/vibrations in their homes being disturbed giving them ear aches, ear drum pressure, headaches, nausea, sleep disturbances, anxiety, fear, anger, depression, etc. But the gas pipeline companies are in denial that the problem is their fault and epa or local ,federal authorities will not investigate the noise because everyone don't hear or feel it but it could still make them sick. It basically makes you sick indoors when exposed too long to the noise and vibrations that are resonating with you and everything around you so it best to go outdoors to feel better! However if you feel the vibrations alot you will probably still feel them outdoors too but not hear as much the noise attached to it! Outdoors will give you time to clear your head of the noise interferences! If you can't feel the vibrations use water in water bottles near windows, tables, bed, floor, in car, in yard to see water vibrating at subtle fast pace! Make sure you are up close on bottle to see subtle tiny fast pace vibrations on surface of water in bottle. This will let you know your property is being invaded with this low frequency noise/vibration pollution!

It's very odd. Why are only a certain group of people hearing it? And why only now?

HU-738409787 - I might have agreed with you re "the older acoustic fatigued major high pressured natural gas pipelines" except that 1993-present, I have lived in 2 communities that were brand new - not just a few blocks but entire communities averaging about 5 miles in each direction - so all the utilities were new infrastructure, including the gas pipelines, sewer lines, water lines, electricity. Both homes were brand new as well. No vibrations in either of the two homes I lived in but the low diesel 'humming' was in both homes - and not every room, and as someone who did vacation home checks for neighbors, not every home. The noise was not outdoors as well.

Hi Peppersd! It is the interstate high pressured natural gas pipelines that I am referring to not your local gas Pipeline companies in the area! You should check YouTube "Gas Pipelines noise and Ground Vibrations" to see the diesel engine noise in action coming from gas pipeline that was heard by hikers in a national park! Check Steve Kohlhase YouTube video about his home being invaded by the hum since 2009 called "The Hum: The Unexplained Noise that only 2% of People can Hear!"

In dealing with the low frequency noise I myself was wondering if the acoustic fatigued interstate high pressured liquid gas pipeline noise is making a standing sound wave that resonates with certain frequencies (As Steve Kohlhase claims) better in side buildings, homes, cars, human and animal bodies creating noise/vibrations pollution indoors like sick building syndrome but is called gas pipeline syndrome by Steve! A standing sound wave is created from a traveling sound wave that is reflected back upon itself creating 2 traveling sound waves but the second one is trapped creating a third stationary (standing) sound wave! Maybe pressurized movement of liquid gas through pipeline at certain bends and angles causes acoustic fatigued and metal fatigued issues in pipeline! I can hear in my house the Infrasound low frequency diesel engine noise of two traveling sound waves quiet in background fades out some into a hum which is the stationary sound wave that takes over and that's the one that gets in your ears causing ear drum pressure and ear ache, head ache the longer you are exposed to it sitting still you should move around and go out doors! This is also affecting cell phones to I have it video recorded where there was a white blank screen flickering in same pattern as diesel engine noise and bad light fixtures indoors and outdoors too will flicker in same pattern! Digital tv screen will have subtle interference/ but will not distort the picture on the screen!🤔🤔🤔🎶🎶🎶

Ok people, this might come as a shock to some. This phenomenon started on a specific date for me, end of 2021. The same morning I woke up hearing the low frequency hum I was ill with you know what! The noise hasn't stopped since. It's not tinnitus because I've had that for years. Completely different noise and here's the kicker. The noise is very local to my immediate area and incredibly loud indoors. If I go to a friend's house or a little further away I can't hear it. So what ever is causing it is unique to certain localities. I live on the NW coast of the UK. Its either new wind farm technology or the 5g network both of which have gone online in recent months to a year. If its 5g its targeted if its wind farm/power grid then its likely circumstance. There's also another possibility and that's satellite technology. The world has changed a lot in recent times so anything's possible. Highly recommend speaking to neigbour and building some knowledge around potential sources. Check out UK hum reports on Twitter for a comprehensive list of news reports. Speak to people around you find out as much information as you can. Havana syndrome is another topic. Bring in a sound specialist. Guarantee there'll be able to measure it. But not locate it. Educate yourself.

Interesting thread. A humming started in our manufactured home Feb this year. Not so bad at first but it has increased. Barely notice it during the day but at night when trying to sleep it is awful. First thought it was our heat pump, but no. My heating and cooling guy came for maintenance and said hey, it is the ground transformer. So been researching transformers. PUD came and said there are no issues with it even though we can now hear it humming 50' from our house. The noise/vibrations can be heard all though the house but it loudest on one side, closest to the green monster. Not sure what our next step is. They refuse to come when we are home so that they can come into our home to listen. There are two empty homes that are being renovated for sale and the park manager allowed me inside and I can hear humming in both those houses. I am hoping that the future home owners will also complain with me so there is more than just me.

That points to an electromagnetic wave in my opinion, possibly coming from the cell towers, or maybe the weather/airport radar fixtures/radio station towers (or maybe a combination). I have noticed that after hitting around 50 years old that my nervous system is more sensitive than what it used to be. Sudden unexpected loud noises give me the feeling of getting an electric shock through my nervous system, I'm wondering if our nervous systems are being degraded by the electro-pollution that surround us. Maybe it's by design to cull off the people who are approaching retirement age.......

A short video on ELF waves and tinnitus and how they are connected to the weaponised shuman resonance and the vibrations that we feel/hear

https://youtu.be/wyCqzvLTAtE

Another video from the same guy. In this one he reckons that the waves are riding in on the power grid, I'm not sure if that's the case though, maybe the waves are interfering with the current.

HU-738409787 When your white screen on your cell phone was flickering was it plugged into the charger?

Anyway, here's the link- https://youtu.be/OhkLLQuFIB4

HI HU-663315888 I liked your comments Yes my cell phone white screen was flickering when I was charging! Thanks for the link I have seen his videos before but not that particular one. I believe it is piggybacking on the power linee had a fire

Thankyou HU-663315888 for you comments and especially the video, which explains so well what I was trying say 12 months ago. The polluting of the Schumann Resonance is causing great harm to life on our planet.

I started hearing a "hum" out of the blue several years ago. We had recently had a new roof installed and I thought maybe that had something to do with the noise I was hearing. It did sound like maybe a shingle or siding was rattling with the wind, or that I had a hive in the walls. However, I noticed that I could hear it on calm days. It was more than annoying, it often kept me awake and made it difficult to watch TV. I should mention I can often feel the noise too. I really believed it was something in my house that was causing the hum and vibration until I experienced it in the cabin we rent for our summer fishing trips. I also experienced it in a house we purchased and flipped. I would like to add that I have had migraines most of my life and sometimes experience a phantom smoke smell too. We do not live near any businesses, highways, or powerplants. It also seems to be coming from a north west direction. It is definitely not a neighbors truck, a generator,, or tinnitus. Weird, annoying, and terribly frustrating!!!

HU-942397938 All I can suggest at this stage is to boost your nervous system with a good brand of vita b complex, some cholesterol and a few of the mushroom extracts available on the net. For the migraines, try taking some milk thistle to boost your liver cleansing capabilities and see if you notice any improvement.

HU-942397938, I feel your pain. One question I have is: Have you had a bout with a virus recently? I had a bad virus back in the 1990s and lots of strange things have happened to my body.........one of which is it wrecked my sense of smell and taste. For many years, I smelled smoke all the time, when there was none around. All the stuff in our heads (smell/taste/hearing/vision/and our entire brains) can/might be affected by various viruses. The constant hum/rumble I get, I hear mostly in winter. That makes me wonder if it's worsened by the dryness my body might have. It IS disconcerting that so many people have come here with a very similar complaint. I hope you and the rest of us can find some peace eventually (hopefully sooner than later!)

My husband I have a cabin out in the middle of nowhere in northern Wisconsin. When we returned from Florida this past May we noticed a strange low frequency hum noise, both inside and outside of this house. It’s 24x7. Not sure exactly when it started but most definitely within the last year. We have asked a few neighbors if they hear it and they do not. It sounds like a heat pump or some type of commercial fan running. We have no industry around us and are not close to any busy highways. We thought is was coming from a research facility that harvests and studies potato seedlings a few miles north of us (thinking it was some type of heater or humidifier fan) but I contacted them and they said yes we have this type of equipment but it’s all off for the winter. During the day it’s not as noticeable since there are other noise distractions such as cooking, cleaning or having the radio/TV on, but if you are just sitting still and the only one home you can hear it and at night when laying in bed it’s the worse since there no noise then. We even turned off all the power in the house and could still hear it. I tried ear plugs at night to help with the hum noise, but oddly enough I could still hear the hum. I do not have tinnitus nor does my husband. But we both hear it all day and night long.

Hi all, I live on the west coast of the south island New Zealand, this same droning, humming , pulsing sound louder inside and especially at night started around beginning december 2022. I could feel the sofa vibrating one morning. A post on the local page got several likes and with other people hearing it too. I have some good ideas from reading all the comments and will check with my immediate neighbours after new year and see with other people if it started for them at the same time. My active noise cancelling headphones that I bought in despair seem to block out 70% but sleeping with them on is not pleasant. I am planning a night time walk around to check transformers and just see if I can locate any source. The council have had no other complaints. We do have a lot of mining activity within a 40 km radius but I even heard it loudly on christmas day and I would be surprised if anyone was working then. Good Luck everyone!

Hi, it seems to be a weapon that is used against anyone who might speak out against gov/big business. You can run a cooling fan in your bedroom to mask the noise, or maybe a music player with some white noise playing on a loop. The noise persists here even when the power is out due to thunderstorms, but have a listen to your local transformers anyway because you have to find these things out for yourself rather than believe some stranger on the net.

We also live in Wisconsin and we started hearing a noise about seven weeks ago. It is driving us crazy. We live in Deforest, Wisconsin. We also turned off all of the electric in our house, but the humming sound ist STILL here. We have had sleepless nights. We tried music in the background but it does interfere with sleep because we like a quiet.

When i went to try and find the source of the hum near us, which seemed really localised (by the yard even), it would be incredibly loud in some areas but then moving a few yards further would completely disappear! As if no source… wonder if others have found the same

I started hearing the hum in my house in July 2022. The noise I hear is consistently of two different frequencies both low, but one lower than the other. It occurs in a three part phase with the lower frequency first, then the other one, this repeats, then there is a double pulse of the lower frequency with the slightly higher frequency then pulsing to finish it off. It goes LOW, HIGH, LOW HIGH, LOW LOW HIGH. Each noise lasts roughly a second with the full phase lasting around 7 seconds. Can't hear it outside and it is more pronounced in the bedroom I sleep in but can be heard in all rooms in the house. It does appear to be sporadic although I may be more sensitive to it at specific times. My wife doesn't hear it and I have asked a neighbour but they can't hear it either .

I am rather embarrassed to admit that I have tinnitus, of the low droning hum kind. I found this out after using the well documented tapping technique on my occiput, base of skull bones and was amazed that after 2 days the sound went. Now it appears occasionally but not for long and I know I can remove it or ignore it knowing what it is. Also I am starting to not be able to tell which direction a sound is coming from. So, it was me all along!

I thought it may help someone else if I shared this.
