I suppose the best way to comms is to make an account thats not personal. It's so typical, desperate scammers take advantage. Is any digital thing safe?
@@canUfeelMYface Yes , just because he doesn't confirm the damage windmils make ! And he calls it "Clean" energy ! Pffff . The only thing here is those Gas pipelines were he does make a thing here . i did like it , but maybe he's scared to sertain topics for a counter reaction of youtube itself .
I'm an electrician and I was called out to a house we're a lady heard a humming she believed it was her smart meter. At first I thought she was crazy, when I got there she was walking around the street with a geiger counter, you know one of those radiation meters... So anyway after about 2 hours of looking over the electrical system I asked her if she hears it right now? She said do you hear it right now? Nope.. she clearly still did. So I asked her if she ever thought it might be in her head? not like imagining it, but I said sometimes people can have a tumor pushing on a certain part of the brain and they'll experience auditory hallucinations. So I went on my way disappointed I couldn't solve the problem, I've always prided myself on my diagnostic abilities but I had to accept defeat as I was unable to solve that particular problem, until about a month later when she called me back. She took my advice and went to a doctor, she had a brain tumor.. Most memorable diagnostic I've ever done.
That's interesting! I heard the hum for several years AFTER having a brain tumor removed! I really had to train myself not to hear it, by concentrating on other sounds. Occasionally, I will hear it, but not constantly like I did after my surgery.
A long time ago, maybe 40 years ago, a sound engineer told me a story where he did a dance club install. After the club opened, they started getting a complaint from someone who lived about a quarter mile away from the club. He went to their house and sure enough at 9pm when the club started to play music the person's house started to shake. Things were shaking off of shelves. They found out that the club was on one end of a shale slab and the house was on the other end. The club had the shale blasted apart at the club side and it took care of the problem. Ya never know.
There's a noise at my parents house. It's not a hum but more of an infinite beep. It bothered me for months until I finally went out into the fields and neighbors backyards to find the source. It was coming from an elecrical fence that a neighbor had. He had it turned up to some ungodly amount, way past illegal. It's way outside of city limits so the cops wouldn't do anything (I didn't even bother calling them) so I paid him a visit and had him come sit on my dad's back porch and listen. After just a few minutes he said, "Wow. That's very loud. I can't even think straight." I'm like yeah try going to sleep listening to that. He went back and turned it down. Haven't had an issue since. Edited to include that I DID NOT call the police
Would you or CAN you even substantiate the claim that the electric fence “turned up” to an ILLEGAL level? Higher voltage is needed for larger animals, for particular breeds and also due to an animal’s sex. SO…just because you are of the OPINION that the fence was “turned up” without providing county regulations outlining maximum voltages or readings from a voltage meter showing excessive voltage then you’re full of SH*T
i am glad you mentioned feeling it. i don’t hear it but i feel a heaviness and throbbing in my head. it seems like my feels a vibration that makes me nauseous
I suffered from this intermittently about 30 years ago, a couple of years after I had moved into my first house. It was so bad, I called the city health department who, of course, came out only during the day and were no real help. Then, one night out of frustration, I got out and drove around, following the noise/feeling, like an elephant tracking a thunderstorm. I traced it to semi trucks that were parked illegally (with diesel engines left idling all night) behind a new department store about a mile away. Once I called the cops, the trucks-and the noise-went away. I had discovered that it's actually illegal to leave a semi idling over night within the city limits. (The "foundation" of North Texas is several solid, extensive horizontal layers of rock, which transfer low-frequency energy quite easily, sometimes even amplifying it.)
Good for you reporting those gas wasters!!! I can hear idling heavy trucks about 2 blocks away too. I live in Washington though and we have wet clay filled soil, not as hard on the surface as north Texas until you get to the mountain marble layers in either the Cascades or Olympics (which still have lots of sandstone and basalt/igneous rock over them).
That's actually genuinely insane. It blows my mind that you tracked the noise to a source a mile away. It makes me think that more than likely, the "source" of the hum is almost always going to be the culmination of human activity; pipes, engines, power generation, all of those background noises that in certain cases travel in just the right way, and only affect certain people who are particularly sensitive. It's a scary thought, the idea that I could buy a home just to find out after the fact that such a noise could haunt me or my family.
I kept hearing a low bass at night that I couldn’t find a source for. Blamed everything around me, from neighbors to a hydro dam nearby, until one day I noticed it starting right when my fridge compressor turns on. Opened and closed the fridge door, compressor stopped, the sound stopped with it. The problem with low frequency noise is that it’s really hard to find the source of it. Ears don’t offer direction, it’s perceived loudness doesn’t change much with distance (it rather just stops at some point), and others are likely to not hear it at all.
There was a leaky valve in a vacant apartment above me that made the plumbing vibrate a board in the wall that transferred the vibrations to another wall via a joist or something making for a 110 Hz tone in a wall in my bedroom with no plumbing or electrical in it.
I have also noticed this. Out entire modern civilizations HUMMS. When the power goes out, it's like a sigh of relief. Unfortunately we kind of NEED power.
there was a town in Canada that had a Hum. for over 60 years, an entire generation suffered from the hum. however, suddenly, many middle aged people reported that the hum disappeared one day and never came back. someone looked into it and found a coincidence. the exact same day that people said the hum stopped, was the very last day a steel factory worked before being shut down permanently.
I had a phantom hum in my bedroom that was driving me NUTS because it could only be heard in those especially quiet moments before sleep. If I got up to search for it, even the noise of me moving around masked it. One night i spent about 10 minutes hunting it, moving around and being perfectly still in the dead quiet of the night. I probably looked like a crazy person. Finally I narrowed it down to an old HP printer/scanner. Despite being powered off if still made a tiny hum, had to unplug it and I was finally freed of the torture...
Similar story - I was having a sleepover in my cousin's room. Her boombox was located on the night stand right by my head and I couldn't sleep due to the mains hum from that radio-CD-tape combo even when it was turned off. I quickly removed the plug from the wall and humming stopped. Later she asked: Why did you do that? I said: The humming was so loud and annoying so I couldn't sleep, and she said she never heard any noise coming out of that boombox. Me: 😮
This tracks with me perfectly. I find it a major red flag that it was pointed out in the video that those who hear "the hum" all have an "engineer mindset" because they turned off the power to their house. The data scientist in me is screaming selection bias. I consider myself a "hum hearer" but only because I have done this. Turned off the power to my house. I ALSO have had loads of incidents where I hear tiny noises but I usually know what they are. You see the problem here? Sensitive hearers end up getting use to deducing what these sounds are until they find end game of the "the hum" that they can never figure out. Loads of others find these sorts of sounds and that's it quest complete. We'll never hear from them in these statistics. I know exactly what the sound of LED power supply sounds like or a triac dimmer or the noise a CPU water cooler makes when it has to many air bubbles in it but the bearing hasn't failed yet which makes another noise. Or the ringing of LCD monitors with CFL tubes vs LED lit LCDs. All this and yet I'm terrible at music. Oh well.
A lot of devices use PWM to control the brightness of LEDs or regulate power to some components. (very very fast pulses of power). When the devices start to get older or sometimes even when new, they emit a small humming sound of varying pitch. Sometimes they drive me crazy.
@@Furiends I didn't know that LCDs are making sounds. I remember really well the sounds of CRTs though. Also another funny noise - extremely quiet as well - was the ticking sound out of ~2008 Nokia phone. It was almost the same sound as the one from mechanics of analog watch. I doubt Nokia had anything mechanical inside it. I used to hear it only at 3-5 a.m. when everything and everyone went totally noiseless. I never looked up what kind of components could make such a regular ticking sound. I stay curious to this day.
21:02 THAT is the sound. Thank you. I grew up near E71 on the map at 21:32. Signed off as insane at the age of thirteen, despite several hundreds of other people reporting the sound. I now live in "silent" zone, but finally I have an answer. I am not insane, but psychologically affected. My deepest thanks. You have brought me peace.
Same… I grew up in different parts of the US including southeast Texas. As a teenager near Houston we lived above gas lines and there were nights when the cicadas were quiet. This sound would take over predominantly. Somewhat more faint but almost identical to this audio displayed in the pipe. As I have moved away and grew older I stopped noticing it but it happened to be in a time of my life where I struggled with intense anxiety and lack of sleep.
I live on a farm in South Africa. I hear this low hum for most of the time in my bedroom. No wind, no machines going and I have to leave music on or hum myself to sleep at night. I don't sleep until 3 to 4 in the morning. I am so glad I found this video because I have 5 grand children and 3 of them can hear it too.
It's the secret military boring holes under ground ! There's so many tunnels in the world it would blow people's mind !! It's easy to smuggle humans or kids , drugs , money & so on !! Most of the leaders around the world are working on taking out these tunnels to stop these great travesties! Thanks to Trump !!
If only 2% can hear it then why can everybody that watches this video hear it. And if you can't hear it do you have speakers that's capable of playing low Bass?
I was ten yrs old when I told my parents I hear this constant swishing noise in both ears. After several trips to an audiologist and the family doctor and lots of antibiotics and being told I needed to see a psychologist I just gave up hope. When I was 11 I passed out on the school bus.. I was admitted to the hospital where after having many Drs scratching their head a neurologist scheduled a CT scan. There was a baseball sized brain tumor growing on my brain stem thus blocking the flow of cerebral spinal fluid and causing hydrocephalus and pushing blood vessels up against the ear drum. So please see your Dr if you hear abnormal noises. I also had balance issues headaches nausea/vomiting etc
I have a chiari malformation, and thus my cerebral spinal fluid is not as fluid as it should be due to a smaller space and sometimes the flow is cut off almost completely. Migraines, anxiety, nausea/vomiting, depression,very sensitive hearing, etc. Chiari malformations used to be considered "rare" but that is mainly because it can only be diagnosed by MRI/imaging testing and these tests were not available back in the day. Even now, not many people just go have a MRI done for fun so it's rarely diagnosed.
One thing you probably should have touched on in your last point is that it's scientifically proven that certain low frequencies trigger an emotional reaction in some people. Almost an instinctual thing, like a primal fear. Filmmakers have actually used these frequencies in their movies when they want to trigger dread or anxiety in their audience.
It's the opposite end of the spectrum that physically bothers me. The high pitch quiet squeal of electrical wires receiving current, a speaker receiving a minor amount of electrical energy or a old TV tube being powered... THAT is what gives me anxiety and stress. Like nails on a chalkboard.
This is more then likely what the hum is. What never gets investigated, is whether the people that have heard the hum, have hydro lines that directly hook up to their homes. My friend lives in an older home where the hydro line connects to his place and hears the electricity coming from the lines.
Same here, you describe it so well, „high pitch squeal”. Since I was a teen, I couldn’t sleep well if electronics were plugged in, I had to completely switch them off for the night. It’s both auditory mild bother, as well as an overall mind-body sensation of too much emf or whatever interference in the air.
Not as dramatic, but as a kid and up to my late teens, I could definetly know if a CRT was on, even muted, while everyone around me couldn't. I even had a friend that would blind test me on it and I had it right all the time. Later someone told me it was coil whine. This to say, I do believe some people may be more attuned to some frequencies than others.
Is CRT that sound you hear & feel when a tv is switched on in the next room? I've always heard & felt a 'zing-ping' sound if ever anyone switched a tv on, even when the volume was down. Or I would be able to feel if a tv was on when I'd walk into a house. Is that what CRT is?
@@lolanegra CRT is the name for the older tube TVs (Cathodic Ray Tube) 😅, I have no idea what's the name of those noises. I could hear those, it also a high pitched sound while it's on. Very noticeable for me when I came into a room. I even worked at a retail store and could say if a CRT TV was on, blindly, at a distance.
I understand what you're saying completely. Young people can hear much higher frequencies than older people. In fact, there was a story going around here in the UK that the local council would play a high frequency sound in town centres to stop kids and teenagers lurking there. This "hum", to me, is at the other end of the spectrum. So deep, so low I can literally feel it below my ears and in my neck. It's awful 😞
I can remember commenting to my mom about how a tv was on in another part of the house the previous night, and she asked did you see the light because she didn't hear anything and I told her no I can always tell when a TV is on in the house even if the "sound" is off, I thought that was normal all my life up until that chat in my teens.
Ikr?! I was thinking of the whale family and the mysterious beachings, although I am aware that there's a lot of "sonic noise" generated by our navy and shipping traffic
Modern tech is uses frequencies based on what humans can’t hear. Low level radio frequencies, among other things, can be heard by animals such as dogs.
That was a really cool ending to your data and your scientific analysis of the home and I think a lot of people will appreciate you giving them validity for their feelings that was awesome that showed a lot of empathy!
I am so thankful for this video. My husband Dave heard what he thought was drilling underground. He was in Civil Engineering and would ask EVERYONE if they heard that sound! He would lay awake at night and ask me constantly, "Don't you hear it?". Unfortunately, I never did, and he died on January 1st of 2021. I so wish I could show him this video! ❤
I was hearing this two weeks ago and powered down my entire home and it was still there. Not outside of my house, only inside in the Northwest corner inside.
I have chronic tinnitus. I also have misophonia. I am not autistic. I have heard the hum. All I can say is that it is 100% not tinnitus. It’s its own thing.
so is it the sub version of tinnitus? the reverse if you will? i have slight tinnitus, and i hear bass hum quite a bit, while in my house, but i also have hearing damage from years or shooting unprotected, subs in the vehicles, and general dumbassery of being young at one time. (also no hearing protectiong while i was a mechanic... guess im lucky everything isnt a dull murmer)
@@slymind4919 fellow idiot here 🤣 I damaged my hearing going to concerts as a teen in the 90’s! I can’t answer your question though... my tinnitus started being a faint ocean sound (think a faint version of what you hear with your ear up to a shell), then it got louder and a bit staticky sounding over a couple decades, and now it’s all that with high-pitch. My husband and I are both very on-top of protecting our children’s hearing!
@@kreggorybiglips I’m curious... were you always like this? I don’t think I was. I’m 45 now and I remember being little and snoring would keep me awake, or the tick-took of a clock (or anything of a rhythmic nature). I’ve never been able to focus on something AND have a movie or music playing (when traffic or directions get chaotic, the music goes off and everyone has to be quiet). Bit it’s only been the past 4 or five years that a certain level of ambient noise has agitated me. And that I find weird.
Mate, you are my hero for taking these reports seriously, let alone investigate them. As a kid, I heard noises that no one else could hear all the time. It drove me- and my family- insane. Every night I'd be awake, hearing some wretched noise that no one else could hear. It wasn't until I was an adult that multiple diagnoses put it all together. As an autistic, I was predisposed to be hyper sensitive to noise, and on top of that, I could hear high pitches that few other people could hear as well. Apparently it's not normal to hear electricity buzzing in electrical sockets. Who knew. I can't imagine how less stressful the first twenty years of my life would have been if someone had taken what I was telling them seriously, even if they weren't able to say why or what was plaguing me. Lower frequencies aren't my kryponite, so mercifully I would be spared the hum. But to those who are: You aren't crazy. You aren't complaining for the sake of it. Just because others can't hear it, it doesn't mean that it's not there.
When I was younger I could hear a high pitched noise as bats flew above me.I lost this ability as I got older.I now hear this low pitched hum every night.
I have tinnitus. It's an E note or a third above middle c (329.6276) Over the last two years since it started, I've become accustomed to it. I can now tune my guitar, with new strings, to almost perfect pitch because I can here that reference note so clearly. A little silver lining as it were.
I don't really know. I've played in bands for years but this tinnitus happened a decade after my last loud live show. I moved to electronic/acoustic. At first I thought the A/C unit was on, but it was winter, then perhaps the fridge, etc...then I realized it was in my head. It drove me crazy the first month. A year into it, I started taking a magnesium supplement and two weeks later I noticed the humming was gone. That actually lasted a whole year, but then, out of nowhere it came back. I thought magnesium was the cure, but no-go. I'm going to quit taking Advil, because I take it more than I should, and see if that's the culprit. @@fibonacho
That's interesting I'll have to remember that next time I run into a musician who says they have tinnitus. Most of the time it's due from not protecting your hearing. But I do suspect there is a percentage of it that is just Unknown as to the cause. I myself have always been super sensitive to Sound since a wee lad, so have always been really annoyed with loud noises and concerned about hearing health. Every so often I feel like there's an air pressure change and I will hear like a tone in my ears usually one ear. I don't know if this is tinnitus or just having an air pressure difference and hearing the air going through equalizing in my ear. I'm always curious but it usually goes away after a minute or two.
As a child I could hear an intermittent low hum while I was in my bed trying to sleep. It took me a few years to realize that the hum was coming from a large rotating sign on top of our local brewery about a mile away from my house. I believe that as the flat face of the sign came to be perpendicular to the prevailing wind, it would cause a low vibration as it’s bearings fought the force of the wind.
I only hear a noise when I go to sleep is if there is like no noise at all no background noise or anything then I hear something in my ears and it's so annoying because it won't go away unless I hear a noise so then I can't fall asleep
I have misophonia. I can definitely hear why someone would end it all because of this sound. It physically hurts. It feels like it builds up a pressure in your head.
Yes, very easy to understand why people would just end it all. A constant, low drone or hum, at a frequency just audible to a human, rarely varying and sometimes lasting for hours, would be quite maddening.
Are there any therapies for this issue? I had a family member kill themselves from a fall that resulted in constant ringing. Stupid questions from a guy who worked next to jets and would wear 2 pieces of ear protection: Ringing noises after concerts or jets or engine noises, hammer guns, etc are an injury and the ringing is that frequency laying down in your ear. Its the sound receptor lying flat and losing its ability to function. Are you experiencing the hum? Does it change with ear protection? I know certain patients with burning nerve pain from hiv complications use Marijuana and its not for pain killing its like... they describe it as a distraction? Like they forget about the issue enough to work on the yard and such where normally cortisol would be used. Marijuana for pain relief requires a great deal of increased uptake with pain relief but these patients report a small regular usage and comparable reasults with pain killers due to the "distraction". Do you think Marijuana therapy would be relieving in your situation? Some effects are hightened senses in extreme ways for new users so for a small but certain percentage of people attempting this it would be very uncomfortable and not applicable. Thank you for your post.
Misophonia, severe tinnitus and huperacusis here. Certain noises (like the hum of fluorescent lights) just make me irrationally angry. Other noises, like leaf blowers and dentist drills, cause me pain and make me vomit. I bought a pair of Flare earplugs that seem to help with many noises that would normally bother me; you can still hear normally with them in, but it alters the way the sound waves enter your ears (and they aren’t visible when you wear them). They have a money back guarantee, so it might be worth a shot to see if they work for you.
Don't know where you live, but in American homes, something is always buzzing, be it the AC, fridge, a fan... whatever. That alone is mentally straining enough without any additional problems, whether we realize it or not. I have to go to the forest fairly often. It really helps.
@@Boredchinchilla Oh wow I'm definitely going to try these thank you! I also have hyper vigilance. So while just blocking out sounds helps with the misophonia, my hyper vigilance then kicks in to overdrive and I start hearing even more sounds and the anxiety just builds. Then once the anger and anxiety leave it's just depression that remains. It's really hard to explain to people who don't experience it, so I definitely sympathise with the people being tormented by this humming. Thank you for sharing.
One reason not mentioned in this episode and can cause auditory "hallucinations" is cavity fillings (or any other metal inside your body) resonating with an electromagnetic wave - it could be a radio tower (especially AM), cellphone, or other stuff. And you will hear it very distinctively and vivid sound - to the point where some people could hear what music was playing on the radio. There is even an episode about it on Mythbusters.
I’m ambidextrous and I use to be a solo sailor. When you are 1500 miles from anywhere, next human, no radio, no microwave, no radar, you notice a difference, a quietness, a lightness, an absence of something you didn’t know was there. I do not enjoy being in big cities now because it feels like a heavy blanket. Humans give off energy that is accumulative. I live in a small village now, spend my time in the forest and am right on the ocean. They give off a better energy.
As a student in public school I was 'inundated' by the sound and vibrating of fluorescent lights. I stuck to incandescent lights until LEDs became affordable.
The sound of florescent bulbs is very audible. Sometimes it's the ballast. Sometimes it's a loose connection. Getting rid of those bulbs is the best solution. Btw, cheap transformers also do this. They used to be found in old CRT TVs. If you hear a buzz, check older devices.
@@firesurfer When I was a field tech for IBM, I had an operator whose monitor was driving her crazy. This was back when they were CRTs. No one else could hear it, but she said the high-pitched hum was terrible. So I showed up when the operators were all at lunch and switched her monitor with another monitor there. When they came back, she immediately said her monitor wasn't humming anymore. I asked her to check the others and she correctly identified the one that had been on her desk. I changed out the high voltage power supply and that fixed it.
Thrifty Drug Stores were the WORST! I couldn’t even go into the store for the ice cream cones. My sister had to bring mine out to me. I’m not autistic, but I do have ADHD, and can hear all kinds of sounds most people can’t…I used to wonder if I could have a job “listening” for things, lol!
I experienced an annoying low frequency hum about seven years ago that both my husband and children could not hear. I had just had a root canal and my tooth became infected with a mild abscess at the bottom of the tooth. I walked around the house putting my ear against the walls as I searched for the origins of the sound but to no avail. I thought an idling train was sitting at the rail crossing in the night so I got up and drove a kilometre away to see if a train was there but it wasn’t. The pain in my tooth started to increase so I went to the dentist and had it removed. About two weeks after that I never heard the sound again. I think that the abscess somehow inflamed the auditory nerve in my ear and it was causing a vibration that sounded low frequency.
Holy cow... I have been hearing this in my house for the last year or so on and off. It turns out that it was coming from a vibratory roller that was being used in a construction site down the road. The craziest part was that my wife could not hear it at all!!! It would drive me nuts when that thing was going, mostly because it only seemed to bother me!! Great video!
I can't imagine the hell, I myself live in an apartment building that houses 12 apartments, I had meddled with problems regarding shitty piping on the roof which I'm directly underneath, the hum would persist, me being the only healthy young adult who had promising youth in a prestigious university and lined for many achievements to come was naturally gaslit into thinking it was just in my head, it's as if almost others can feel the need to put you down just to feed on the misery like some eldritch leeches. I have my noise cancelling airpods and ear mufflers, I also managed to permanently dampen any source of constructive resonance, but my heart goes to you who suffer on the grand scale of the greedy to whom we are bunch of annoying numbers
Unless it’s all in your head. Which it could be. Just because you hear it, doesn’t actually mean it’s real. It just means that your brain THINKS it’s real. After all, when your ears ring, you aren’t actually hearing any ringing.
@@Shadowkey392 if your brain thinks it's real, it's as good as real to YOU. Just because others don't understand doesn't change that. Pretty sure that's what they're trying to say, and it's not wrong at all.
I've never heard very low hums, but I used to hear very high sounds. Back in the '60s and '70s, the cash registers in a large discount department store near me made an awful noise, and my friends couldn't hear it. One friend knew what it was, but said, "You can't hear that! Only dogs can hear that!" The thing is, apparently it was hereditary, since my Dad, when he was young, had similar hearing. He claimed that, back in the '40s when he was a young navy man, he could hear the sonar through the hull of the ship, this in the crew's quarters, not the sonar room, and quoted messages being sent in code between ships by sonarmen. He got similar reactions. I'm 73 years old now and my high frequency hearing is gone.
I'm in my 40s, and most of my high frequency hearing is gone now, due to a combination of age and industrial hearing loss. I do not miss it. It's such relief that it's gone.
I started hearing this in our new apartment years ago. I thought the neighbour's were running clothes dryer later at night. We moved, and I could still hear this sound at night. Low rumbling, turning, a machine, grinding, vibrating, oscillating. Its source is external to me. My wife has never heard it, despite my descriptions. One day while hiking in very large park, up the side of a rocky hill, I heard the sound louder than I have ever before. I asked my wife if she could hear it, and she confirmed for the first time she could hear it. No pipeline, not industry, on the side of a mountain overlooking the pacific ocean. grinding, rumbling, turning, vibrating, strobing, It was loud and everywhere.
Folks, that sound is more nefarious than u can imagine! the source is fabricated on purpose in the center of our world and it has to do with EM turned against humanity. Remember the movie "They Live"? Humanity has been lulled into trance
there was a HUM in my area of Ontario, Canada with many people could hear I myself being one, the cause came back to be from a steel plant and the makeup of the area allows sound waves to travel and because the plants next to a riverbed makes sense. NOAA has found using hydrophones SOUND TRAVELS UNDERWATER as well as over water, go to a small lake you'll be able to hear people from the other side
Imagine how many other species are constantly tormented by the incessant sound pollution our species manages to produce. I live in a city and the steady ambience of traffic and electrical buzz is hard for me to ignore to get to sleep. Have to drown it out with sound tracks of forest insects and frogs or birds singing. A Natural soundscape we don't get for real around here
Blame it on big gub and corporations. I live in the country and that's what us country folks do but they want us to blame it on each other at all times
A note on the increased occurrence in people with ADHD or on the Autism spectrum: People who are neurodivergent often hear various sounds others aren’t able to pick up on. I have the frequent experience of hearing bad electrical outlets or cords before they lose function. I can also tell when various devices (computer, TV, wifi outlets) are on or off based on a high pitched ringing. When I was living with roommates we had that funky “electrical burning” smell build up through a whole room, and I was able to use the sound to identify the bad plug - sure enough, the outlet had a burn when we unplugged the device.
Yeah that high pitch one drives me nuts to. I'll the only one that can hear it. My kids sometimes do. They won't notice until I go see plugged in.... Unplugged... Plugged in and about them they go oi guess I do hear it but barely
100% think it's gas pipes. Used to live in a natural gas home and since then have only lived in electric neighborhoods. Walking around very late at night, especially during the winter made this low hum even more noticeable. I always chalked it up to the electricity poles that ran thru field behind our house but as soon as your showed the pipe pressure demo, that's EXACTLY how it sounded.
i started hearing it around 12 years ago and it drove me crazy. i became very sick and obsessed by it. i fled 2000 km 5 years ago after becoming addicted to opioids, which were the only day to deal with it. i cant possibly describe how desperate i was... doctors couldn't help me and i was completely on my own. my theory was it is coming from waterpipes and pumps. infrasound can produce overtones that can be heard inside rooms, in corners, even bodycavities in head and lungs can amplify it. i lived in a big city germany. i learned that infrasound produced by machines can cause great suffering and i think that a significant part of anxiety is caused by it. not even my parents believed me. i was in hell. now i live in a small house close to the mediterrian and all i hear at night are the waves of the sea. i still unplug the refrigerator at nights cause i cant stand the sound.
lol. I hear the sewer cleaners from miles away long before my family hears it. My daughters are starting to hear as well, but I’m still first. You know, those big vacuum trucks that have the tube to go down into the storm drains? Those. Trains I can also hear from a long way off but I feel like that’s normal. We’re also within a mile of a major freeway. That’s what I attribute my hum to.
"I like to be DRAMATIC and needed a reason to justify doing drugs 🕺🏻so I smashed drugs and now I live by the seaside 🕺🏻and I unplug my fridge because I like ✨ DRAMA ✨
Omg ur completely describing my life, I have even been told it's in my head and I got psychological problems no! No I dont! It drives me crazy and I will do anything to cover it, ear buds in anything to cover it and yeah opioid do mask it, I used illegal opiates for years but now finally I now get opioid on prescription and now when there wearing off I feel the him coming back
In 2016 while at work, my hearing was damaged by a single exposure to a few minutes of loud noise. Following that, my ears were ringing. I have had tinnitus since then. It varies from soft to loud and in frequency, but never goes away. I can very much sympathize with the people who hear the hum. If escaping this noise in my head were as easy as moving to a new location, I'd be making plans and packing right now. Thanks for your research.
I have constant ringing both ears ,right one is worse than left . Which has rendered me not able to stand loud noise. Dr says besides the tintinitis and nerve damage .not much can be done .
@@cherylradabaugh2720 I even asked if they could burn the auditory nerves. I'd rather be deaf that hear this noise all the time. He said that unfortunately people have found out that the noise doesn't go away even when someone is deaf.
@@jebsmith323yeah from what I understand (which albeit is limited and I’m not someone who studies the field, I just study to try and understand my dads pain) is that the brain fills the missing frequencies itself, and that’s what causes the ringing. It’s typically in the frequencies that are damaged which is why you can still hear other things. But since your brain is essentially hallucinating the missing frequencies, idk how you can “turn it off”😭😭😭
I've heard it a couple of times in the last decade. I remember lying in my bed wondering why someone would be running a large, diesel motor for many hours non-stop throughout the night, but there is no such vehicles anywhere nearby to me. I clearly remember that it was difficult to tell whether I was "hearing" or "feeling" it, but probably a little of both.
There actually is a lot of noise in factories that can be heard and felt miles off. I also think that since noise is frequency, there may be certain locations where sounds gather and coagulate together. Dwellings can amplify them in some angles and locations and not others. I have walked around and then outside to find things sound quiet there, but there is still a strange buzz inside that sounds like it's from outside, except there is no structure to capture, focus and amplify it there.
We stayed at an oceanfront rental home in Duck in the Outer Banks around 2015 when there was a tropical storm coming up the East Coast. I woke up from a nap thinking there were Sirens going off in town and we should evacuate but it was the wind making this "siren" sound which was resinating from hitting parts of the house facing the ocean. And it went on for days and it was so annoying! And you could only hear it from our room and going outside, facing the ocean, by the pool or on one of the balconies.
I’m a deaf person! I hear low humming that changes to high humming & back to low humming occasionally. The frequency of the events were significant years ago but not so much now. I was hard of hearing as a child & into adulthood and wore hearing aides. The sound events even happened when my aides were out at night. It’s inside my head. Doctors found out that it was the auditory nerves dying at different rates & times inside my head. The events sometimes were intense as the frequencies changed. It used to scare the hell out of me. My hearing loss was contributed to frequent use of mycin (streptomycin erythromycin etc.) drugs as a child in early 60’s. Now I’m totally deaf.
Could you explain more about what was so weird when the frequency changed? Like what did it actually feel like etc, sorry I am just genuinely very interested as I've never heard about this before.
Our neighborhood was shut off from power for 8 hours and there was a silence that was profound. The animals all noticed it too. We are surrounded by electricity and the things that consume it, we get used to it and activly ignore it. Noise pollution is a real thing that human bodies react to. My reaction to sitting up front in the movie theatre for a star wars movie years ago, during a very loud scene of the chase thru the woods was severe drowsiness, nausea and then unconsciousness for the entire 2 hour movie! Noise is a sneaky weapon.
I wonder if my tinnitus is caused by Wifi, because if i go to a totally quiet place like a forest i don't notice it has gone till i get back home again , if that makes sense.
@@bennyhill4228 Saying it's caused by wifi wouldn't quite be a good conclusion, I'm sure you know alot more about it then your short comment but keep looking into all the theories! :>
@@williamcreek4126 oh i did not say "Caused" But perhaps it is Caused, because as i said in my main comment on this video, it started about 2013/14 i know it was May and at a weekend. because i woke up and heard the Zinging noise and it never went away, almost like the air pressure zing you get and you swallow and it goes away, i still can get that air pressure zing on top of my Zing sound i hear and that goes away, but mine zinging at about 10k hertz does not go away, some days it is quieter than others, could it be Something else? ofc. My saying WiFi is just my two penneth to throw into the mix.....There is a You tube video called " this is what my tinnitus sounds like" And is the closest frequency to what i hear so far.
I'm not surprised. I hear things much higher than most people. In the old days, some people's dogs would bark, growl, howl, or whimper when their TV was on. I knew why. Those TVs made a terrible high-pitched noise that no one else ever heard. Eventually, I found out that I had a normal range of hearing but at a much higher pitch. The doctor said I could hear sounds almost as high as a dog could. I've always assumed that those people heard at a much lower range than most people.
I remember the old tube TV sound. It was kind of a static, hard to feel when it was already on, but I could tell when the TV was being turned on or off due to the sudden difference. I'd hear and feel a weird buzz as soon as it turned on.
When I was younger I could always hear the TV turn on and start up nobody believes me and now I've been hearing the hum for years I was really starting to wonder what I was hearing even went so far as to put a tin foil hat on like someone recommended and it cut the Noise by 80%
Thanks for this video. I live in France and I've been hearing the (annoying) hum for the past 15 years. It is more pronounced in quiet and rural areas. The prime suspect for me was the combined electromagnetic fields from wifi, GSM, 3G, 4G, TNT, etc. After watching this video, I'll check if there are some gaz pipelines in the surrounding area. Thanks again for your investigations.
Once, when managing senior apartments, one of my elderly ladies called me late at night. She said she could hear water running in the wall in the bathroom. So of course, I drove over there. When I arrived, i followed her to the bathroom as she went in and turned on the lights. She asked if I could hear it. But I couldn't hear anything over the bath ceiling fan, so I flipped the switch off. Then startes listening again but couldn't hear anything. Suddenly she said that's weird, I don't hear it anymore....😅 So I tunees the fan back on and then she says "can you hear it now". I smiled and showed her as I turnes the fan light switch on amd off. she was very embarrassed and sorry for calling me LOL she was 98/99, shortly thereafter she passed away. Though not because of old age or natural causes. She quit eating ....she always used to say she was waiting to go but that the good lord must have forgotten about her. It was sad but she went in her terms I suppose. Her kids never came to see her.
That's funny! I'm surprised she had such good hearing at her age. I'm sorry she passed away but at least she had a long life. You were very kind to go there at night.❤ Take good care of yourself! 👋🇨🇦
@@xxThink_Againxxsome mothers dont deserve a relationship with their adult children because they are such terrible people. You never know how she treated her kids in private, when nobody else was able to see!
That was kind of you to ease her concerns. My Momma was 95 when she went Home. 7/17/21 I couldn't be with her when she passed because I'm not jabbed. Were her children unwilling to be with their Mom(?) or unabled by a ridiculous mandate? (Sensitive topic, sorry) Regardless, thank you for easing her cares in the middle of the night ♥️
I experienced the hum, had no idea that it was a thing. After a couple of months I tracked it down to an upstairs neighbor getting high and playing singing bowls all night long. Only the low frequency sounds managed to get through the thick concrete slab between our apartments.
I put on my headphones so I could hear your recordings of the hum. I recognised it straight away. I've heard this, but only at my Grandparents home in Broken Hill, NSW. My Grandmother had a spare bed in her bedroom near the window, and that's where it's loudest. It even rattles the window from time to time. As a small child, it was a comforting sound that helped me get to sleep. My Grandmother had always put it down to the mines below Broken Hill, and this was the explanation I accepted. Broken Hill is a mining town. I didn't mind the hum. It was a phenomenon I'd grown up with and was just the sound of my Grandparents home.
Sweet memory. I used to hear it in my old house in a gold mining town in Northern California. I was sure the old mines amplified the sound of machinery somewhere close by. It was sinister to me. I was happy to move from there.
That seems to indicate a situation similar to 2 adjacent keys, low notes on a large pipe organ. They can't be heard but felt if played together or heard as they go in and out of phase.
Everybody is telling me that I’m imagining things, I did ear tests, and checked for tinnitus, and everything showed it is ok, nothing to be worried about, I told my family doctor that I feel vibrations and it is not my body shaking, even when I am in bed it happens, I was told it is your nerve system, you need to relax, it is totally different from what the doctors are saying, I never knew that there are others like me, I started believing I’m going nuts and it all in my brain, I feel more than I hear, but when it is combined it drives me crazy and I go to my bed just to avoid my family who thinks I’m going crazy from my meds I am taking. I thank you for clarifying this to me.
In market in my city in Poland is distinct smell that is overpowering me, I remember it since childhood. Parents said I'm crazy, my brother can smell it too.
It is really strong when I'm in front of my tv and around appliances. I do think "they", the corporations or scientists who manufacture this stuff know it does this to some sensitive people.
The power went out in our Brisbane suburb a few weeks ago and it was pure bliss. A calm came over both hubby and I and we FELT so good, like a weight had been lifted from us. The moment it came back on, the hum, anxiety and headaches returned.
I know what you mean. I couldn't live without power, but I hear it too; not all the time, but sometimes. And at times, it's more akin to a physical sensation in your head rather than a sound.
I've lost power a few times in my area over the years and every time my fibromyalgia, ADHD, ME/CFS, migraines, insomnia significantly improve and it's not an overt feeling incredible type of thing, more like the realization that you don't feel bad for once - and it's not just electronic devices and light pollution because we were using backup batteries and still used electrical devices. living on a communal farm is sounding pretty good nowadays lol
Yes !! I lived in a lower flat Milwaukee...the upstairs elderly Lady used gas for heating, cooking and lighting!!! Split basements, both stair wells front and back and my downstairs hallway had active gas piped in from pipeline in road. My husband at the time reported to City and started biggest disconnect 😊
As someone from Kokomo who is also an audio engineer, I have spent so much time talking with people, taking recordings and investigating all of the claims of the hum. I've never experienced it strongly, this video is insane to me, incredible work.
OMG... I can hear this sound. For a couple of decades, I had assumed it was a factory miles away in the neighboring county. It sounds to me like a low rumbling sound of engines or machines. It was not until the factory closed, and I continued to hear the sound, that I realized the factory was not it. I asked my family and I was the only one in the family who can hear it !
I might be a minority but sometimes I can hear it louder than other days and sometimes not all at. I just listened to a frequency test on youtube and my sound is at 27 hertz. Like right on the dot.
@@deekamikazesimilar thing for me at work. They've been building a subway station nearby, so I attributed it to that, but I've never asked my colleagues if they hear it too. Would be interesting to check.
this is exactly what i hear!!! like someone has a generator sitting on a cavern and the sound is traveling or a well pump is overacting and perhaps tearing up? i feel like a highway is being built below the ground and i am hearing the digging or something
I hear that same type of sound for real when I am laying in silence at night. It's getting so very irritating. I keep trying to shake it off, but the sound doesn't go away til morning it seems, or until another sound takes over... I was actually quite scared the first night I heard it, but now, it's just annoying to me...
@Shadoefax760 Yep, you nailed it; that's what I thought it was. I was in the basement and assumed it was construction machines/trucks going back and forth. In fact, I even went upstairs and outside to see what was going on, but it was dead silent out there (as it should be, given that it was around 10:30 pm). Going back downstairs I once again hear it. @wendystroh7099 Yes, me too; it's only when the commotion of the day gives way to silence that I hear that now-familiar throbbing
Thanks for making this video. During my whole life I've thought that I was the only one who can heard it, but, thanks to this video, now I feel relieved. This has happened to me since I was very young (probably 7 or 8). The firsts times I heard this sound I was really scared. It was a very loud noise and also I felt like some kind of pressure in my ears. I live in Spain, near Barcelona's airport, and when I grow up a little I thought this sound was caused by some airplane that was over the city, but then one summer I went on a trip to a small village in the mountain and I heard the same sound. Nowadays (I'm 22) I do not hear it quite as often as I heard it when I was a kid, but I'm less scared when I heard it.
As a hearer myself, I'd like to describe my experience with it because I nearly unalived myself because of the Hum. The onset was rapid, over the course of a week. This occurred in 1995, in southern Arizona. The hum had a frequency of 37 Hz and it "bouldered". It was always present. I saw my doctor, my neurologist, a couple of ENTs, a psychiatrist. The power co. came and made acoustic measurements. Turning off the power to the house had no effect. BUT by stuffing my ears tight, I could block the Hum almost entirely. That enabled me to keep alive. So, yada yada yada, 25 yesrs later I am living near the Pacific Ocean in California and the Hum has entirely disappeared. This is wonderful of course, but I still live in a state of anxious fear that the Hum will return. But I can't begin to describe the huge sense of relief I feel at its going! I am a retired software engineer and astronomer. Thank you.
37hz couldn't be power related. honestly i would go back at a later date and see if you still hear it there. i'm not saying to go through un needed stress but it would determine if it truelly is location based.
I hear you man, I live in northern Ohio, started hearing it it a few years ago mostly at night. Seems to originate from a northern direction. It definitely sucks sometimes, as it is louder inside. No one else hears it, I take no medication other than some thc here and there. I hope it goes away some day.
Some years back at my old house I’d hear a sound like a truck idling. For a long long time I thought it was the neighbor idling his tow truck just down the road. But then I noticed I could NOT block it out, that placing my hands over my ears only made it louder. I also noticed the times it was at its loudest was after driving at night for a long highway stretch with the windows rolled down. Thankfully this sound is long gone for me.
I have been hearing somethin that I assumed was inconsiderate neighbors playing music all night long. It’s not loud, it’s what seems to be low-level bass. I’ve lived in my house and neighborhood for almost two years and have never experienced this anywhere else. I don’t hear it when I travel, only when attempting to sleep at night on my bedroom. My boyfriend doesn’t hear it at all, he only hears music on the nights when someone is actually having a party with louder music. It’s made me feel pretty crazy, to be honest, but I bought a sleeping headband with slim headphones that I use to boot it out with brown noise from an app. Would definitely prefer to not have to wear something on my head every night, but it’s maddening to not be able to escape that seemingly not-there noise!
I live in central Mexico, I can hear/feel the hum. Nobody in my family nor my neighbors hear it. It doesn’t bother me much , it turns on and off, but I was going crazy trying to find out what it was. I finally reached another UA-cam video that talked about “Gas Pipeline Syndrome”. It all made sense to me. A gas pipeline runs actually under my street. I was surprised when I heard it while camping in the Baja California desert, then I noticed the warning signs of a gas pipeline running all the way down the transpeninsular highway. For me that’s it.
unless they have been taken down for security purposes, we used to be able to look up the location of pipelines buried all over the country. I know there is a very large one that runs diagonally up to the northeast, and the gas is pushed at subsonic speeds. There is a huge hub of them at Cushing OK.
I've never heard the Hum, but no a still day I could 'hear' the high-tension power lines that ran along the end of our property. Not sure if it was the actual electricity or just the lines vibrating further on since I grew up in a very windy state.
@@draco6061 If you want something to make your hair stand up whilst camping. Try pitching under the electric pylons or with in a few hundred meters (USA yards). 24/7 the sould of 24,000 volts crackels along those lines to where ever. Some City or Town along the way. It's not just the sound that makes the hair prickle. It's the thoughy that lightning can arc, that if it rains then water conducts and it's not as meek as a 9 volt battery. It's 24,000 volts. I do not think I am hypersensive when I would not walk under neath when raining with an erected unbrella.
I so want to hear your next album "HUM" that's made from all the feelings, experiences, and sounds you collected for this project. 💜Thanks for all you do Benn. As for myself. I have heard the hum at times, enough to want to track the phenomena. I have slept at 3 locations and I've only heard it early in the morning and only at two of the locations that are closer to the freeway. My final conclusion was that it was something having to do with equilibrium changes between blood pressure and inner ear fluid density. It's almost as if waking up in the early morning, and being very still, brings out the sound and once it's heard it's hard to ignore.
They called this "The Hum". My mum had one in Southampton, it was traced to heavy equipment in the basement of the Southampton University campus building not a half mile from her house. It tended to be a night because that's when they ran the machines more, presumably so they could come in in the morning to get results with less waiting. This was in the 2010s.
Thanks for the comment. The ability to hear electricity is real. I hear it up close and in the walls. I've scared people knowing where the lines are inside walls. I'm sure your mom has had this experience since childhood.
They probably did it at night because the power consumption is much lower at night and if you are using equipment that uses massive amounts of energy so much that it can overload the power grid then you would need to use it at night. I can also hear a hum from electricity but I thought that was normal lol.
@@PalmBeachFlorida24 I hear and feel electricity, too. When it is quiet, I can hear cell phones charging. It's a horrible noise. I leave the room. I've never met another person who can hear it. I also hear dog whistles, which human beings are not supposed to hear.
🙏🏼thanks for that! 🙏🏼Could you elaborate? What hertz it is? I saw someone dissect the FOUR soundtracks in the Obama Netflix movie and one was entirely low frequency but the host said it was very odd to have four video/audio tracks at all.
@@michaeledwards2251 wouldent surprise me if they pumping bad frequencys. 440hhz is messy and should be using 432 528 or any other "sacred" frequency. heck i try to tell worship music makers to switch to 432 but they just brush me off, so you gonna keep using the DEVILS frequemcy yet you love God?
On the upper end of the spectrum, old tv's and computercreens and bats as well as large moths are a horror. But In our house there is also a deep sound, because there is something wrong with the inverter for the waterpump. We got rid of one humming inverter from the solar, there was a screw loose, but before it was two-sided from two corners somewhat in stereo. Now it's only a onesided Brwwwwwwwwwwww. Unluckily right below my bedroom. Since it can only be heard when it's otherwise silent, listening to loud music while you try to fall asleep really helps.
My husband is an HVAC guy who worked his way from bottom to top and he's told me countless times throughout the yrs. of people who are hearing a constant hum that he can't hear. Some people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars re wiring, re plumbing, switching out systems in their homes because it drives them crazy. We're in Denver, and a lot of people hear it. I'm so thankful you answered some questions for people so they can diagnose and fix the problem. There's always hope, so don't give up!
I'm in Longmont and live near enough to Ursa Major's testing facilities that I can hear them. They test at all sorts of random hours and no one will keep them accountable to reasonable hours because they have enough money to pay people off.
@@lulococo9700 That's a shame. Well, I wouldn't be opposed to joining a protest with you. Even if they don't fix the noise, maybe we'll get paid at least 😄
@@solangelalebron1348 scary! Especially if doctors don't warn people of those side effects. They'd think they were losing it. Good to know, thank you 💜
@@sage6269 It's probably because most people won't get those symptoms since their bodies are already defected. Most of the people on this planet have defected DNA, which is why most studies are not accurate. A healthy person can get different results than a sickly person. But the government throws all the people in a bunch treating them the same when they are not.
I went through hell and back when I lived in Roslin, Scotland. I specifically bought my house for peace and quiet, in the middle of fields, no close neighbours and nothing, I thought, that would disturb my peace of mind. The hum was intermittent, loud, could be heard in the garden and house. I drove round the lanes around my house at all hours days and night trying to find the source, asked many questions, contacted the Environmental Health Officer, bought a phone which could download the app to measure the wavelength of any sound. It was 50Hz with harmonics of 100Hz which is the sound of electricity. I liaised with the electricity company, had the transformer outside the house changed, the feed wire changed, explored all the shops in the area, went to all the big buildings at night, fretted, cried, thought I was going crazy and went into deep depression. Eventually I had to move much further south and no longer hear it. My HUGE sympathies with whoever is still suffering from this horrible horrible hum.
This makes allot of sense!! I hear it mostly during winter and summer when the electricity-ac unit or heater is being ran more. Makes sense. Thank you for your insight!! 💕
Roslin is not so very far away from a lot of commercial activity and living in the middle of a field probably meant there was nothing around you to stop sounds travelling.
Sounds like you need more background white noise or music to mask any low level hum or infrasound. It could be anything from natural to manmade to a combination of both or none of the above just your own blood noises rattling around in your head. The brain filters out a lot of unwanted information so the worse thing you possibly can do is focus on it trying to work out what it is as your brain will be on full alert for it, opposite of what you want. Low frequency sound travels & goes around corners & through structures it's the hardest to attenuate. Do you also feel it or only hear it, does ear muff type hearing protection dampen it or noise cancelling device help? Do others experience it as well, what do kids hear as their hearing is more acute? Personally I can pickup in the dead of night what sounds like a transformer yet can't identify but usually manage to ignore after a while & yeah it's annoying. Did previous tenants also experience it? Maybe crazy but I'd even try weight/fluid change so you resonate differently in response to frequency if feeling it. Goodluck

40 years ago as an electronics investigator I was asked if I could locate the new hum affecting Plymouth UK. I had access to similar but older audio/ radio equipment in a mobile van (but no computers) It was covering most of the city and after several days I had started checking the fringes of South Dartmoor when it abruptly stopped. I was taken off the case. Mr Jordan's program has made me realise that a new gas fired power station had been built on the outskirts of the city about then which was being powered up intermittently to cover periods of high electricity demand. I wonder if that was it?
Sounds reasonable. Anything moving can cause vibration and vibrations can interact like two stones plopped in a pond sometimes they cancelled each other out sometimes they amplify ..like the marching on bridges... gas water wind the planets all are creating vibrations through the earth and air and they cross each other and amplify each other the same way waves in the sea suddenly cause a big tsunami or a giant wave in the sea. It seems plausible that not only gas but many things could coincide to create a rogue wave of vibration. In other news my mom has always sworn she can hear moths!!! She says it sounds like those plug in things for getting rid of mosquitos and mice.
This video reminded me that i always heard a high pitched humming noise in my ears. The first time i noticed, was when a energy outage happened during the night, and everything was quiet, i heard it buzzing in my ears, and i though to myself "wait, humans really can't hear nothing? There is always this stactic sound being picked by my ears?" And so i lived until this day, when this video reminded me that i still hear this sound, and it never went away, i just stopped noticing it.
I'm autistic and I can hear so many things other people can't. Electrical sounds are plain painful to my ears; when my toaster's plugged in it feels like my eardrums will burst out, even if I'm in another room. I physically feel pressure, just like when you dive into water and need to equalize the pressure in your ears. Anything motor/air compressor low rumbling makes me nauseous and I can hear or feel these sounds from quite far. Every member of my close family is neurodivergent one way or another and we all have some kind of hearing extra sensitivity. Pretty interesting that neurodivergent people were over represented in the hum hearer group.
Hello also autistic here . i can hear electricity ringing noises that's quite literally deafening from the lights , and my computer even when its turned off its like a humming ringing noise

I live in a rural area north of Detroit. I began hearing the hum around 2009. As an engineer, I went through the troubleshooting process, shutting things down as you described. I ended up having to run a loud electric fan every night in order to sleep. This went on for years. Then, one evening in early 2019, I noticed it was gone. It's never returned. Listening to your pipeline theory this evening jarred my memory. In 2017 a major underground construction project replacing aging gas mains was started. The gas company had to reroute the location of the line for geological reasons. The new route was many miles south of where I live. But the route caused a big problem among the affected residents who didn't want the line cutting through their properties. That's how I remembered this. The project eventually completed at the end of 2018 and they switched it on. This coincides with the cessation of the hum around my home. Very interesting. This pipeline theory is probably a strong contender. Although I agree there are likely several different causes
I was living in the area at the time as a UPS driver and I remember this well!! I’ve since moved out west in 2020. People on my routes were getting the re routing through their fields and properties at the time. I’m super curious if they now hear it! I might have to make some calls tomorrow
Im surprised and disapointed the Author did not mention the role geology could play. they started to with the canyon, but they even discounted Geology when they said "ELF would not be localized" ...for example, ELF is an Electromagnetic field, For it to be turned into a sound, it would need an 'antennae', like iron deposits in the ground. Similar to how your speaker wire picks up your cell phone signal and turns it into sound. The geology of an area absolutely could cause EMF signals to cause sound, and certain areas could be affected more regardless of the source. For all the EMF sources the mentioned, they didn't explain how EMF would turn into sound. The earth, or pipes (or anything) would have to be speakers, not a single mention of the science behind this and what in these areas could match the science. also. geology around pipelines could contribute the the sound being more perceivable. Also an example, Buildings and mountains often confuse the source of a sound, they can even amplify it for certain places. People will say a sound came form their left, when really it was straight ahead.
For what its worth, I use to hear the hum now I don't, and I will tell you how. One night when I could hear it, I asked my son if he could hear it and after some carefully listening, he could as well. We did move to a new area, not because of the hum and I could still hear it there. It was very loud at our new place as well. I told my son to never listen for the hum and he has never heard it again. I realized I had to do the same, never listen for it, because as you listen for it to see if it is there or not, you will always find it. It has been over 4 years and I have never heard it again and never tried. Hope this helps someone because I now how bad it can be.
This is something that helps. Once in a while I might notice it late at night if I can’t sleep. It can be easy to fall into the "trap". But focusing on the sound or thinking about it only makes it worse. The days I keep busy and fall asleep quickly I don’t notice it at all.
Thank you SOO MUCH, for doing this. I hear a high pitched electrical sound that my husband can’t hear. It drives me nuts that I can’t figure out where it’s coming from and because it really does bother me. It’s always at night when I take our Shepard out and at a time of the day that noises are much quieter than during the busy daytime hours. I was thinking that it was coming from the night lamps that come on at night in our community and there is one right in front of our house. But who knows, maybe someday I will figure it out. Thanks for all of your research and investigations into this, it has helped me more than you know! I just went out to check and it’s still there, it’s not the street lamp, I’ve already counted that out for several reasons. It sounds like the sound is bouncing off the houses in the community and it ebbs and tides, gets louder then lower. I never hear it in the house only outside and only at night. It’s nuts.
I used to hear this in my first apartment in Japan at night more specifically. HATED it, always thought it was a truck idling outside, but when I looked there was nothing outside or nearby outside. Drove me NUTS
That's exactly how I would discribe the noise I heard when I moved to live in a rural part of my country. I could have swore there was a vehicle engine running outside my house. However I got used to it and although I still hear it sometimes, I've been able to dismiss it as something natural.
👍Thank you for investigating this! I heard the hum in the early 2000s... thankfully, only for about 5 days. It began at night and vanished 5 days later at night. I couldn't sleep during those days. It sounded like an idling Harley Davidson engine, but only the bass part. I felt it throughout my entire body. The sound was somehow "in the air"; it had no direction, and closing the windows and doors made no difference. Nobody except me heard it; I asked all my neighbors in the area... nobody heard it. I was so relieved when it disappeared. Years later, when I first read about it on the internet, I instantly got shivers down my spine. I can't imagine how hard it must be to live with this ... horrible ...
I hear the hum here in Colorado, It's such a relief when it stops. I am so used to the hum that I don't realize when it starts most of the time. Love it when it stops. My whole body feels it, and my brain relaxes.
@khstudioyt7165 I initially thought it was the new 5G towers being installed and I was so mad! I didn't realize it was a phenomenon for a couple years, until I decided to do a search to see if other people in my neighborhood were complaining about pulsing from the towers... instead I discovered it was called The Hum and was far older than 5G. Definitely not an elite club I ever wanted to belong to! Luckily I'm only an occasional member.
Really funny to hear that people with a history of autism in their families have a notably higher % of ability to hear the hum than not... as someone with autism, and who spends a lot of time in that community, i can say that a lot of autistic people can hear electrical hums that a lot of other people can't, and lots dont even realize that its weird that they can hear their toaster when its plugged in, or the tv when its on but not the cable box. Definitely a cause of the hum for some.
I have autism but I don’t think I hear the hum or electrical sounds. I didn’t know toasters made sounds when they’re not actively being used. I’d say I have a keen awareness of subtle sounds but I also have bad hearing and can’t hear things in the mid range. On top of that I have tinnitus so I always have some form of sound playing to drown out the ringing. I didn’t realise it was common for other autistic people to hear such things.
A breath of fresh air to hear of someone keeping an open mind while doing actual objective and rational research into a subject. Seems rarer and rarer these days. And yes, it make sense that this hum probably comes from multiple causes, which is why it's been hard to pin down.
Hi! This was a super interesting video; As someone with Autism and ADHD, I just want to throw my two cents in here. It is true that many of us have a heightened senses, or rather, once we notice something, we can't tune out. For example, I can literally hear my outlet, my speakers humming, my microphone etc., and I have to shut them off or unplug things so i can peacefully sleep at night. Stuff that normal people can tune out, can be absolutely devastating, like hearing the fluorescent lights at school was torture. It makes sense for a large portion who report this to be on the spectrum! Fascinating data I say
Super human. That is what the makers of the "highly effective" shots seek. Control of our super sensitive family members is done with the built-in emf grids, electricity usage grids, subscribed pipelines in and out of our homes, and that damn cell phone that caused me diagnoses of cellulitis (my ears were burned from using it and who knows how much was burned beyond my skull) and is becoming the bane of my free existence, what, with it connecting to every card I don't really own (all cards are owned by the issuers and you carry them only as privileges), my bank accounts, and my address. The cell phone number is the key to opening or erasing everything about you.
AuDHD here too. To add to your experience, which correlates with mine too… I am suffering from Autistic/nervous system burn out atm and my acoustic sensitivity has gone off the charts. It’s like the volume dial on EVERYTHING got turned waaaaaaaay up. I can’t go into a shopping mall anymore, despite growing up loving to go shopping and concerts etc. Some pitches are so much worse than others. Two such include the sound of children’s cry-screaming and even their really loud laughter. I have two such young children so it’s pretty tough at the moment, with a lot more meltdowns for me (and for them - they are AuDHD too). We need cars with individual soundproof pods 😆
I have heard that sound. It raises my anxiety. I hear power lines and florescent lights and just being outside. I also hear it when trying to go to sleep.
I can not go to big box stores…. Absolutely has something to do with a hummmmm . My anxiety goes through the roof. I haven’t been to our local Walmart in 12 years and it’s our only store like that.
Can you hear a shorting or "bad" wire? With TVs still using cable connectors, I can hear if they are not fully connected or if there is another issue such as too little shielding/thin wire. Not up close by the TV either, that really high-pitched sound of a mosquito except I can hear it over 15-20 feet away while those in the room do not. Or how about electric dog whistles? Same thing for me, but up to about 6 feet from it. Figured I would ask since I also hear the lights, which, sounds kinda bad when i say it that way, but I think you all know what I mean.
@@livewithmeterandnomeasureb1679 I don’t know anything about that. Avoid the place like the plague.I see things on the streets of utube but unless I see it with my own eyes…🤷🏻♀️ I’m not sure we can even believe those these days. I shop local mom and pop stores as often as possible… I haven’t shopped in a “ real box store” in 12 years. I’m a thrift store shopper on a disabled person budget.. So I rarely shop and I’ve also never shopped on line. I’m to broke and pretty much can’t stand more than 3-4 other people in the store at the same time. I go at odd times to avoid people because I’m not fond of strangers either🤷🏻♀️
I "heard" a subsonic regularly pulsing as I moved around certain spots in a yard. Turned out to be the sewage mixers from a treatment plant a mile away. My friends couldn't hear it.
I can still hear the high-pitched whine of failing vacuum tubes in older televisions and thunderstorms hours before they show up. I also hear the rumble of motor vehicles and trains on a road a mile away, from inside my house. I used to be able to hear bat squeaks.
I experience a recurring noise. It happens to me most often when I'm either watching TV or playing a video game. It sounds like this: "Are you going to do that all day? Why don't you get up a do something? The bathroom is a mess!" I just want it to stop. For God's sake SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP!!!
I hear a constant tone since 1.5yrs ago. It ended up being genetic worsening of hearing, specifically low sounds. Because of it i started hearing higher pitch better. It sucks but i can hear small led lights, electricity, gas flowing through pipes and many other high pitched sounds people with good hearing cant.
Yes I’ve heard this hum for years. No one else hears that I’ve asked. I’ve stopped talking about it thinking something is wrong with me. One observation, it’s heard on some parts of the year and not other times. As an aside I’ve been a radio listener since the 1950’s, ham radio license 1961, commercial broadcast radio engineer 1978-88, employed Voice of America 1988-2006 in worldwide assignments. I’m no stranger to EM waves or natural sounds. I live in an HOA with miles of gas pipes here. You are the best channel to have attempted an explanation. Thank you. Tom in Poulsbo, Washington
Have you ever considered if it might be like some kinda bass-y tinnitus? My little sister has tinnitus, the normal, ringing kind, but low-frequency tinnitus is a thing. What you're hearing might not even be tinnitus, which happens with no external stimuli, some people are extremely sensitive to certain things. Like, my sister also perceives many artificial lights that appear steady to the rest of us to be blinking rapidly and light reflections that don't bother me hurt her eyes. Likewise, there's people who can become especially sensitive to certain frequencies/types of sound where they struggle to hear spoken conversation but a ticking clock is deafening. You might just have a particular sensitivity to one sound frequency that others don't have. For all of us, sensory perception is an experience constructed in the brain that's informed by input from our peripheral nervous systems sensory receptors, but not necessarily directly tied to it. That's why amputees experience phantom limbs but people born without the limb don't, it's why sometimes you can get hurt bad but you aren't aware until you notice the injury, and also why sometimes people can experience excruciating pain from a mild injury they think is serious. I've got fibromylagia, which is basically a disease where my central nervous system perceives touch/pain signals as way more serious than they are and responds to normal inputs as if they're severe. I dunno that I really have a point here other than knowing all this was really comforting to me, that we're all just kinda winging it upstairs, so if there's something "wrong" you and I are in good company. Oh, actually, a point if it is tinnitus, sometimes that can happen just because our brains are bored from a lack of input and start making up stuff to fill the quiet, so a noise machine or a noise-making object in the room with you like a tabletop fountain or a box fan can help your brain stop doing that.
I recently passed thru Poulsbo and had some ice cream and hung out for a minute on my way home from Suquamish, and while I didn’t hear anything, I found myself deeply unsettled the whole time I was there. Like, it was a noticeable sense of unease.
Are there train tracks nearby? Almost drove me insane at one point, but then I realized it was simply train engines sitting idle a mile away! 😁 My wife couldn't hear it so that was even more of a strike to my psyche. My names Thomas as well, maybe this was meant to be, I hope in your case it is the damn trains, but if not, I hope you find solace from the group of people who also hear low bass sounds when others don't. We're not nuts! 👍😎✌🗽
it's really awesome reading all the comments... hearing people around the country sharing, caring and trying to figure shit out. Fills my heart on many levels especially these days, they can't divide us dammit lol
Yes and no. They went on scientific route instead of believing that "those are ghosts" or something similar. Phenomena was wide enough and happens consistently in certain regions so it could be something else than being crazy.
Never heard of this, but very interesting. The one thing you mentioned as a way to rule out a radio source, stating it would be intermittent is not nessesary true. An example of this is any of the well known ow number stations that broadcast basically non-stop to preserve the station so no one else uses is. Not sure if that is a factor, but it could be a consideration.
My husband has always told a story about his childhood. When he would lay down in bed to sleep he would hear a loud whooshing pulsating sound as he was trying to go to sleep. It turns out it was caused by an artery near his ear canal pulsing blood. I can’t imagine how bothersome it would be to live with a sound that’s never goes away. I feel sorry for those 2% of people that experience the hum.
Oh hey I used to have that as a kid too! It always sounded like marching to me, as if there were hundreds of tiny little soldiers stepping in sync with each other. I knew it was just my blood pumping but listening to it as I tried to fall asleep was weirdly amusing. I haven't heard it in a long while, I had totally forgotten about it until reading your comment!
Sometimes, if I've had too much caffeine, or have been doing a vigorous activity, when I first get in bed and lay an ear on the pillow, I will hear and feel my heartbeat pounding in my ears. It's quite distracting and annoying. Fortunately, that only happens about every month or so, but I did have it happen two or three days ago. The solution is always to lay on my back with my ears uncovered for a few minutes.
I have ADHD, and one side effect (not sure if everyone with ADHD has it), my brain does not filter background noise. Normally, your ears pick up all the noise around you, and then it is transmitted to your brain, which sorts through it and decides which ones are the most relevant - it is not perfect, as sometimes people miss it, but mostly sudden loud (or sometimes just sudden) noises and voices (and in a crowd, also which voices specifically. Familiar ones, and that of a person standing in front of you being usually a priority) are the things the brain considers very important, and in a way it "reduces" the background noises. My brain doesn't do that (lazy lump of cells), and I perceive everything at its original volume, and same priority. Be it voices (ALL OF THEM! Crowds are hell, and I like me a quiet corner in a restaurant when I go there, as I have no voices from behind me.), sudden noises, clocks ticking, pens scratching, the rush of rain, the faint sound of an ambulance a block away, the buzzing of electricity of a crappy phone loading station. I also still hear that annoying sound that is supposed to keep teenagers from public spaces (which sucks, by the way. So rude), and martens out of your car's hood - I got good ears. You can imagine that this adds to the restlessness and trouble to focus that is already inherent with ADHD. I have learned to cope in my more than 30 years of life, but even with medication, it is highly dependant on daily form. And I imagine anyone who'd be dropped into my body even for a few hours would end up a quivering mess - like I was as a kid when I was unable to even focus on playing with toys while in the hospital for dosage adjustment, and having my medication reduced for a few days (standard procedure, to let the doctors get a general idea how the kid is without medication) - normally this is done for a week, but they decided it was enough after not even two days. Anyway, I always hear the blood rushing in my ears when lying in bed and no other strong sounds are there, similar to how you'd hear it when you hold your ear to a seashell (the "ocean" is actually just your blood rushing), and that's how I quickly identified it as a kid. I also hear the ventilation unit in the bathroom humming (and we have thick stone walls). Someone once compared it to first generation hearing devices. They just amplified all noises, so someone with hearing problems would only really have a use for it in quiet environments with no background sounds. In a busy cafe by a road you'd have not much difference to hearing problems, the sounds would be louder but still not better to distinguish, as if you can't hear the voices over the traffic noise, you brain can't do its job either). Modern hearing devices are smarter, and actually filter out certain types of sound, and favors amplifying voices and other things. Some are even programmable, so you could focus on music over just talking people. But I don't have a hearing device, just a crappy brain sector that doesn't do its job filtering.
@@Jaessae you are not alone. I struggle with trying to explain to people that although I can hear them I just can't hear what they're saying if there's any other noise around. The headaches from hearing everything all at once all the time are exhausting.
I’m sooo pleased you included in your analysis someone who can feel the hum rather than hear it. Myself, as well as my children & nephew can hear frequencies that most people cannot. For many of the frequencies that I cannot hear, I can feel them instead. They can cause strong feelings of agitation, dizziness and chest tightness. Many stores & shopping centers put off this or similar frequency. My children cannot be in an electric car without crying about the high pitch sounds they hear. Imagine people driving electric cars with their babies in the back screaming and unable to tell their parents it’s the piercing sounds that’s causing their distress! Thank you for putting out this video! ❤
Oh jeez sounds terrible honestly. Hate that you have to put up with that and this may be the only time I'm grateful I don't have super hearing or anything lol
Oh man, if you're experiencing this particularly in/around stores and shopping centers, I can tell you exactly what's causing it. There's something called Ultrasonic cross-device tracking that uses ultra high frequency audio signals to transmit data, and is commonly emitted from beacons in shops and malls, which can then be picked up by the mic on your cellphone and is used to build profiles of consumer behavior based on location and other factors. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-device_tracking#Ultrasonic_tracking
Funny well not funny ya know what I mean…fluorescent lights like in schools & stores give me horrible vertigo migraines and low grade fevers! I had to quit my job teaching 😢
This explains so much for me... I always need to hear something else, I hate that silence is rarely silent. I have high anxiety and am a very light sleeper who needs brown noise or rain sounds to distract me to sleep. It feels louder sometimes, then my ears pop... I can hear it. One time, I took a hike, and there was a small area on the mountain that had a pond and was surrounded by trees and was like a big indent where it blocked a LOT of sound to the point that I could only hear the wind. It was the most peaceful and relaxed I've been. I honestly thought everyone heard this stuff...
It’s the Morlocks! Working their underground machinery and their travelling didgeridoo Circus. Have you ever seen the film Frog dreaming? About a monster in a remote pond? A child’s film like the goonies and stand by me. It’s awesome.
I mean I hear a constant hum but I'm surrounded by so much like heating other houses and flats and tech etc etc that it's never truly silent. Found out a hum that would stop me sleeping was the dehumidifier being left on all night in the flat below. There was construction outside for ages so thought it was that but then it didn't go away when that was finished. Now I've got a fridge or something above me and the fire alarm system directly behind my head when I sleep, I can hear that humming, was concerned there was an electrical fault or something. After a while if I can sleep OK I just give up tbh, everything makes so much noise I don't know how you'd avoid it all unless you live in the middle of nowhere without electricity
13:20 This is when I realized my family (parents are medical) would discourage the use of ibuprofen unless sick. We would usually use naproxen sodium instead.
it is so, so wonderful to see so many people talking about the hum. it gets old telling people that i lose entire days of my life to a sound i "hear" in my neck vertibrae...
I’m so glad to hear that I’m not alone. I have lived in Sumter, South Carolina for about 5 years. For the past several years I have been hearing this low bass sound at night. I have been under the impression it was coming from the local Air Force base (less likely) or a manufacturing facility (my best guess). When it’s bad, I will use a fan to drown out the noise or keep my tv on as a distraction. It’s unbearable when it’s bad. I’ve never heard it until I moved to South Carolina. And I’ve lived in many parts of the country.
Hello , I'm just a few counties away from you except I've lived here in South Carolina all my life and I've never heard the hum until about a year ago and yet at times it can be extremely intense as it was accompanied with a migraine then I will hear it and think to myself that its digging underground or im just batshit crazy
I am so sorry for your experience. I lose my mind when I hear-feel bass from a truck parked in a driveway near my house. I cannot imagine what you must go through. I'm in Darlington County, SC. ♥
Hey it's most likely Tinnitus! I heard a weird low hum this morning, along with my typical high pitched frequency i have being plagued with for 7 years. I drank a beer and it went away. But I was hungover so that's when my tinnitus is at it's worse. I just recently starting taking CORDYCEPS mushrooms and It took 99% of the tinnitus away!
I am a speaker builder hobbyist and musician. Very recently, i was measuring the response of a small driver, and got a reading on low bass tones, that the driver was not producing. I turned off all the equipment. My sound level meter read 62dB of a sound I could not hear. I switched to A weight response (rolls off its response to bass) no reading, so I knew the source was in the sub-bass range. (as opposed to ultrasonic above my hearing range) The meter fluctuated some as I moved about the room, normal modal peaks and nulls in any room. I can hear to 25 cycles, but could not hear nor feel anything. After a short time later, the mysterious "hum" stopped humming, and I then resumed my driver measurement.
Fascinating! I hear low hums that no one in family hears. I'm not sensitive to noise than they are. It causes me a lot of stress. We moved away from a city and it's helped immensely. I'm still sensitive to noise but it's not as bothersome. I don't have autism or any type of processing issue. I didn't have this sensitivity until I was pregnant with my second child in 2020.
I live near the US/Canada border, with a lot of train traffic. The track leading to the tunnel to Canada runs at the rear of my property, 1/2 mile away. When I first moved here I'd feel this low frequency from the diesel/electric locomotives idling. Once I discovered the (plausible) source it no longer bothered me. I can't imagine how nerve wracking it would be to have this happening and not be able to pin down the source.
Luv the wu wu wuu wuuuu wuuuu wuuuu low frequency rumble of a fully-loaded diesel electric locomotive. Used to enjoy the tugboats rumble on the Ohio, uphill 6 miles away.
@@helpmaboab7 Perhaps you should consult a dictionary. He used it as it should be, other than putting a hyphen between nerve and wracking. What exactly is 'racking? First I've heard of that.
I feel like this is my entire life as an autistic person lol. There are hums everywhere. I've been hearing a loud one since I was a kid, sometimes every night for months at a time. I kind of assumed it was a low bassy plane because it would only last for maybe 15 seconds at a time, until I was standing outside one night and it happened and there was nothing in the sky. My brother said it was earth's plates shifting so I just went along with that.
Neurodivergence has a significant influence on how auditory perceptions are processed. Most people just filter out tons of background noises, like the noise of traffic or crowds in public or the buzzing of mild tinnitus. For people with Autism or ADHD there is a pretty good chance that the brain simply doesn't do that, at least not all the time. You just hear EVERYTHING, wether you want it or not.
My ASD presents with a strong sensory processing disorder. I wear earplugs to go to the bathroom or outside and to sleep. I cannot imagine the horror the people hearing this sound have and are living with. Thanks for all the effort you put into this video and I echo your sentiments regarding getting help. We all need peace of mind to function.
I'd love to wear earplugs but unfortunately my neighbor almost burned the house down and a drunk lady came up on my back porch and was banging on the window (2 different events) so I no longer get to sleep soundly. For the rest of my life.
I'm not in the spectrum but have a strong sensory processing disorder(mostly I can hear a lot, and cannot ignore any sound, so mostly live my life in the night that is quieter, still hear electric hum tho)... and I think I have hear this a couple of times but not sure if really was this o was a car or something very far away but I mostly hear the electric hum and sometimes some super high pitch sound like tinnitus but often are caused by gas from the stove or some gas/liquid escaping somewhere near me (I'm the only that hear them :/) -- btw don't using earplugs disorient you or cause discomfort? do you hear anything or they just dampen the sound, I could use some less ambient noise in my life but not hearing make me anxious (my heartbeat, blood pressure, breathing, the rustling of my clothes sounds too loud if not hearing anything else, so back to square 1, I tried using hearing protection but that block most of sound and pressure, so any tip?)
Adhd here with similar problems. It drove me insane back in the day man. Parents also couldn't hear it so they dismissed it. It was one of the most infuriating thing from that time period.
I don't hear this myself, but my grandmother has complained about this for years. She wants to put her house on sale just because of it. Glad that there are still people looking into it.

lol I got a reply from one of these jerks, reported.
I'm an electrician and I was called out to a house we're a lady heard a humming she believed it was her smart meter. At first I thought she was crazy, when I got there she was walking around the street with a geiger counter, you know one of those radiation meters... So anyway after about 2 hours of looking over the electrical system I asked her if she hears it right now? She said do you hear it right now? Nope.. she clearly still did. So I asked her if she ever thought it might be in her head? not like imagining it, but I said sometimes people can have a tumor pushing on a certain part of the brain and they'll experience auditory hallucinations. So I went on my way disappointed I couldn't solve the problem, I've always prided myself on my diagnostic abilities but I had to accept defeat as I was unable to solve that particular problem, until about a month later when she called me back. She took my advice and went to a doctor, she had a brain tumor.. Most memorable diagnostic I've ever done.
I suspect the lady would have preferred to find a pipeline humming rather than a brain tumour, but at least she can get it treated now
Lol Jesus. I was expecting you to cut the power to the meter or something. But an actual tumor?
So good at diagnostics you temporarily became a doctor lol
Well done to you, WoW
That's interesting! I heard the hum for several years AFTER having a brain tumor removed! I really had to train myself not to hear it, by concentrating on other sounds. Occasionally, I will hear it, but not constantly like I did after my surgery.
A long time ago, maybe 40 years ago, a sound engineer told me a story where he did a dance club install. After the club opened, they started getting a complaint from someone who lived about a quarter mile away from the club. He went to their house and sure enough at 9pm when the club started to play music the person's house started to shake. Things were shaking off of shelves. They found out that the club was on one end of a shale slab and the house was on the other end. The club had the shale blasted apart at the club side and it took care of the problem. Ya never know.
thats a pretty cool story.
😮
Yeah that's pretty wild. They need to make a video about this.
Bass is very powerful
🤯🤯🤯‼️
There's a noise at my parents house. It's not a hum but more of an infinite beep. It bothered me for months until I finally went out into the fields and neighbors backyards to find the source. It was coming from an elecrical fence that a neighbor had. He had it turned up to some ungodly amount, way past illegal. It's way outside of city limits so the cops wouldn't do anything (I didn't even bother calling them) so I paid him a visit and had him come sit on my dad's back porch and listen. After just a few minutes he said, "Wow. That's very loud. I can't even think straight." I'm like yeah try going to sleep listening to that. He went back and turned it down. Haven't had an issue since.
Edited to include that I DID NOT call the police
Would you or CAN you even substantiate the claim that the electric fence “turned up” to an ILLEGAL level? Higher voltage is needed for larger animals, for particular breeds and also due to an animal’s sex. SO…just because you are of the OPINION that the fence was “turned up” without providing county regulations outlining maximum voltages or readings from a voltage meter showing excessive voltage then you’re full of SH*T
@corsetedwasteland2630 That is a decent neighbor. Glad he didn't act like a jerk.

i am glad you mentioned feeling it. i don’t hear it but i feel a heaviness and throbbing in my head. it seems like my feels a vibration that makes me nauseous
They sure turned up the dial!! Cowards
I suffered from this intermittently about 30 years ago, a couple of years after I had moved into my first house. It was so bad, I called the city health department who, of course, came out only during the day and were no real help. Then, one night out of frustration, I got out and drove around, following the noise/feeling, like an elephant tracking a thunderstorm. I traced it to semi trucks that were parked illegally (with diesel engines left idling all night) behind a new department store about a mile away. Once I called the cops, the trucks-and the noise-went away. I had discovered that it's actually illegal to leave a semi idling over night within the city limits. (The "foundation" of North Texas is several solid, extensive horizontal layers of rock, which transfer low-frequency energy quite easily, sometimes even amplifying it.)
Interesting....
Good for you reporting those gas wasters!!! I can hear idling heavy trucks about 2 blocks away too. I live in Washington though and we have wet clay filled soil, not as hard on the surface as north Texas until you get to the mountain marble layers in either the Cascades or Olympics (which still have lots of sandstone and basalt/igneous rock over them).
WOW! This is incredible, good for you figuring it out!!!!
They were probably freezer trucks. Reefers.
That's actually genuinely insane. It blows my mind that you tracked the noise to a source a mile away. It makes me think that more than likely, the "source" of the hum is almost always going to be the culmination of human activity; pipes, engines, power generation, all of those background noises that in certain cases travel in just the right way, and only affect certain people who are particularly sensitive. It's a scary thought, the idea that I could buy a home just to find out after the fact that such a noise could haunt me or my family.
I love when industries know of a problem and their solution is to not acknowledge it.
FR
Everyday
There's got to be some way to reduce the intensity of the oil and gas vibrational issue, like a stabalizer on the pipes.

Me too. I know what I hear and it's not some stupid pipeline...
Some folks were born stupid. You can't hate them for poor genetics.
I kept hearing a low bass at night that I couldn’t find a source for. Blamed everything around me, from neighbors to a hydro dam nearby, until one day I noticed it starting right when my fridge compressor turns on.
Opened and closed the fridge door, compressor stopped, the sound stopped with it.
The problem with low frequency noise is that it’s really hard to find the source of it. Ears don’t offer direction, it’s perceived loudness doesn’t change much with distance (it rather just stops at some point), and others are likely to not hear it at all.
Sound speed is still the same, so three microphones its all you need
i am hearing this noise for the third night in a row! Every night begins at 12AM. It's coming from outside, not in my house.
There was a leaky valve in a vacant apartment above me that made the plumbing vibrate a board in the wall that transferred the vibrations to another wall via a joist or something making for a 110 Hz tone in a wall in my bedroom with no plumbing or electrical in it.
Whenever my power goes out, I always feel the most soothing sense of peace.
Me too 😄 I go outside and light the fire pit. It's sheer bliss.
So do I 😄 I go outside and light the fire pit. It's sheer bliss.
Omg me too! Unexplainable peace
I have also noticed this. Out entire modern civilizations HUMMS. When the power goes out, it's like a sigh of relief. Unfortunately we kind of NEED power.
@@Runco990 yes, obviously.
there was a town in Canada that had a Hum. for over 60 years, an entire generation suffered from the hum. however, suddenly, many middle aged people reported that the hum disappeared one day and never came back. someone looked into it and found a coincidence. the exact same day that people said the hum stopped, was the very last day a steel factory worked before being shut down permanently.
The Windsor Hum !!
Did they use an arc furnace there?
That would make some sense but given someone else provided what seems to be the name, I'll look into it myself
That steel plant was on Zug island
Yeah - the hum around here (Longmont, Colorado) sounds like a factory or some mining operation.
So nobody had the idea to measure the severity of the sound and found out it got quieter the further away from the factory they went?
I had a phantom hum in my bedroom that was driving me NUTS because it could only be heard in those especially quiet moments before sleep. If I got up to search for it, even the noise of me moving around masked it. One night i spent about 10 minutes hunting it, moving around and being perfectly still in the dead quiet of the night. I probably looked like a crazy person. Finally I narrowed it down to an old HP printer/scanner. Despite being powered off if still made a tiny hum, had to unplug it and I was finally freed of the torture...
Similar story - I was having a sleepover in my cousin's room. Her boombox was located on the night stand right by my head and I couldn't sleep due to the mains hum from that radio-CD-tape combo even when it was turned off. I quickly removed the plug from the wall and humming stopped. Later she asked: Why did you do that? I said: The humming was so loud and annoying so I couldn't sleep, and she said she never heard any noise coming out of that boombox. Me: 😮
Mine was my audio system, 60hz hum. :p But he super deep hum is different.
This tracks with me perfectly. I find it a major red flag that it was pointed out in the video that those who hear "the hum" all have an "engineer mindset" because they turned off the power to their house. The data scientist in me is screaming selection bias. I consider myself a "hum hearer" but only because I have done this. Turned off the power to my house. I ALSO have had loads of incidents where I hear tiny noises but I usually know what they are. You see the problem here? Sensitive hearers end up getting use to deducing what these sounds are until they find end game of the "the hum" that they can never figure out. Loads of others find these sorts of sounds and that's it quest complete. We'll never hear from them in these statistics.
I know exactly what the sound of LED power supply sounds like or a triac dimmer or the noise a CPU water cooler makes when it has to many air bubbles in it but the bearing hasn't failed yet which makes another noise. Or the ringing of LCD monitors with CFL tubes vs LED lit LCDs. All this and yet I'm terrible at music. Oh well.
A lot of devices use PWM to control the brightness of LEDs or regulate power to some components. (very very fast pulses of power). When the devices start to get older or sometimes even when new, they emit a small humming sound of varying pitch. Sometimes they drive me crazy.
@@Furiends I didn't know that LCDs are making sounds. I remember really well the sounds of CRTs though. Also another funny noise - extremely quiet as well - was the ticking sound out of ~2008 Nokia phone. It was almost the same sound as the one from mechanics of analog watch. I doubt Nokia had anything mechanical inside it. I used to hear it only at 3-5 a.m. when everything and everyone went totally noiseless. I never looked up what kind of components could make such a regular ticking sound. I stay curious to this day.
What's crazy to me is that after 10 years on UA-cam I only found your channel today, and also the existence of this sound.
All I did was a Google search for the hum. There was much information about it.
21:02 THAT is the sound. Thank you. I grew up near E71 on the map at 21:32. Signed off as insane at the age of thirteen, despite several hundreds of other people reporting the sound. I now live in "silent" zone, but finally I have an answer. I am not insane, but psychologically affected. My deepest thanks. You have brought me peace.
Same… I grew up in different parts of the US including southeast Texas. As a teenager near Houston we lived above gas lines and there were nights when the cicadas were quiet. This sound would take over predominantly. Somewhat more faint but almost identical to this audio displayed in the pipe. As I have moved away and grew older I stopped noticing it but it happened to be in a time of my life where I struggled with intense anxiety and lack of sleep.
The bass version of it lasted 1/8th of a second and I'm still hating it.
What you mean you haven’t heard of the famous travelling didgeridoo Circus?

I live on a farm in South Africa. I hear this low hum for most of the time in my bedroom. No wind, no machines going and I have to leave music on or hum myself to sleep at night. I don't sleep until 3 to 4 in the morning. I am so glad I found this video because I have 5 grand children and 3 of them can hear it too.
any gas pipelines nearby?
It's the secret military boring holes under ground ! There's so many tunnels in the world it would blow people's mind !! It's easy to smuggle humans or kids , drugs , money & so on !! Most of the leaders around the world are working on taking out these tunnels to stop these great travesties! Thanks to Trump !!
Try rain, sound to cover the hum.
If only 2% can hear it then why can everybody that watches this video hear it. And if you can't hear it do you have speakers that's capable of playing low Bass?
@@DerekHx45x47 Because people who hear it are more prone to researching, watching videos related to and commenting about it.
I was ten yrs old when I told my parents I hear this constant swishing noise in both ears. After several trips to an audiologist and the family doctor and lots of antibiotics and being told I needed to see a psychologist I just gave up hope. When I was 11 I passed out on the school bus.. I was admitted to the hospital where after having many Drs scratching their head a neurologist scheduled a CT scan. There was a baseball sized brain tumor growing on my brain stem thus blocking the flow of cerebral spinal fluid and causing hydrocephalus and pushing blood vessels up against the ear drum.
So please see your Dr if you hear abnormal noises. I also had balance issues headaches nausea/vomiting etc
How are you doing now?
Oh no... @@ravenger2445
I have a chiari malformation, and thus my cerebral spinal fluid is not as fluid as it should be due to a smaller space and sometimes the flow is cut off almost completely. Migraines, anxiety, nausea/vomiting, depression,very sensitive hearing, etc. Chiari malformations used to be considered "rare" but that is mainly because it can only be diagnosed by MRI/imaging testing and these tests were not available back in the day. Even now, not many people just go have a MRI done for fun so it's rarely diagnosed.
Hearing your heart beat.
Wow you were lucky to find the cause... a great message foe others to get checked out..God bless 🙌
One thing you probably should have touched on in your last point is that it's scientifically proven that certain low frequencies trigger an emotional reaction in some people. Almost an instinctual thing, like a primal fear. Filmmakers have actually used these frequencies in their movies when they want to trigger dread or anxiety in their audience.
It's the opposite end of the spectrum that physically bothers me. The high pitch quiet squeal of electrical wires receiving current, a speaker receiving a minor amount of electrical energy or a old TV tube being powered... THAT is what gives me anxiety and stress. Like nails on a chalkboard.
This is more then likely what the hum is. What never gets investigated, is whether the people that have heard the hum, have hydro lines that directly hook up to their homes. My friend lives in an older home where the hydro line connects to his place and hears the electricity coming from the lines.
You hear it best during the night.
Same here, you describe it so well, „high pitch squeal”. Since I was a teen, I couldn’t sleep well if electronics were plugged in, I had to completely switch them off for the night. It’s both auditory mild bother, as well as an overall mind-body sensation of too much emf or whatever interference in the air.
@@SnowSkadi Coil whine can be really bad for some folks!!
I hear those audio pest control devices people have in their yards. It's so annoying I don't know how they can stand it
Not as dramatic, but as a kid and up to my late teens, I could definetly know if a CRT was on, even muted, while everyone around me couldn't. I even had a friend that would blind test me on it and I had it right all the time. Later someone told me it was coil whine. This to say, I do believe some people may be more attuned to some frequencies than others.
Is CRT that sound you hear & feel when a tv is switched on in the next room? I've always heard & felt a 'zing-ping' sound if ever anyone switched a tv on, even when the volume was down. Or I would be able to feel if a tv was on when I'd walk into a house. Is that what CRT is?
@@lolanegra CRT is the name for the older tube TVs (Cathodic Ray Tube) 😅, I have no idea what's the name of those noises. I could hear those, it also a high pitched sound while it's on. Very noticeable for me when I came into a room. I even worked at a retail store and could say if a CRT TV was on, blindly, at a distance.
I understand what you're saying completely. Young people can hear much higher frequencies than older people. In fact, there was a story going around here in the UK that the local council would play a high frequency sound in town centres to stop kids and teenagers lurking there. This "hum", to me, is at the other end of the spectrum. So deep, so low I can literally feel it below my ears and in my neck. It's awful 😞
@@sheranlanger247 you can hear it? Sound horrifying...
I can remember commenting to my mom about how a tv was on in another part of the house the previous night, and she asked did you see the light because she didn't hear anything and I told her no I can always tell when a TV is on in the house even if the "sound" is off, I thought that was normal all my life up until that chat in my teens.
Now imagine what animals are hearing.
And why so many birds and fish are found dead. : (
Ikr?! I was thinking of the whale family and the mysterious beachings, although I am aware that there's a lot of "sonic noise" generated by our navy and shipping traffic
@@sweetpealee056lookup the sound weapons used in the oceans.
It’s not just their traffic.
Modern tech is uses frequencies based on what humans can’t hear. Low level radio frequencies, among other things, can be heard by animals such as dogs.
Now you know why so many dog attackings this year alot of them now that I look back at the victim seem to be racist motivated
That was a really cool ending to your data and your scientific analysis of the home and I think a lot of people will appreciate you giving them validity for their feelings that was awesome that showed a lot of empathy!
I am so thankful for this video. My husband Dave heard what he thought was drilling underground. He was in Civil Engineering and would ask EVERYONE if they heard that sound! He would lay awake at night and ask me constantly, "Don't you hear it?".
Unfortunately, I never did, and he died on January 1st of 2021. I so wish I could show him this video! ❤
Like him it is late at night, we hear the drum, and we are near coal-burning plants.
idk we are all just guessing.
I was hearing this two weeks ago and powered down my entire home and it was still there. Not outside of my house, only inside in the Northwest corner inside.

I'm so sorry about your husband passing. I bet that was really hard. 😢
I have chronic tinnitus.
I also have misophonia.
I am not autistic.
I have heard the hum.
All I can say is that it is 100% not tinnitus.
It’s its own thing.
I feel ur pain. I also suffer from misophonia.
Yes I’m the same as you
so is it the sub version of tinnitus? the reverse if you will? i have slight tinnitus, and i hear bass hum quite a bit, while in my house, but i also have hearing damage from years or shooting unprotected, subs in the vehicles, and general dumbassery of being young at one time. (also no hearing protectiong while i was a mechanic... guess im lucky everything isnt a dull murmer)
@@slymind4919 fellow idiot here 🤣 I damaged my hearing going to concerts as a teen in the 90’s! I can’t answer your question though... my tinnitus started being a faint ocean sound (think a faint version of what you hear with your ear up to a shell), then it got louder and a bit staticky sounding over a couple decades, and now it’s all that with high-pitch. My husband and I are both very on-top of protecting our children’s hearing!
@@kreggorybiglips I’m curious... were you always like this? I don’t think I was. I’m 45 now and I remember being little and snoring would keep me awake, or the tick-took of a clock (or anything of a rhythmic nature). I’ve never been able to focus on something AND have a movie or music playing (when traffic or directions get chaotic, the music goes off and everyone has to be quiet). Bit it’s only been the past 4 or five years that a certain level of ambient noise has agitated me. And that I find weird.
Mate, you are my hero for taking these reports seriously, let alone investigate them. As a kid, I heard noises that no one else could hear all the time. It drove me- and my family- insane. Every night I'd be awake, hearing some wretched noise that no one else could hear. It wasn't until I was an adult that multiple diagnoses put it all together. As an autistic, I was predisposed to be hyper sensitive to noise, and on top of that, I could hear high pitches that few other people could hear as well. Apparently it's not normal to hear electricity buzzing in electrical sockets. Who knew. I can't imagine how less stressful the first twenty years of my life would have been if someone had taken what I was telling them seriously, even if they weren't able to say why or what was plaguing me.
Lower frequencies aren't my kryponite, so mercifully I would be spared the hum. But to those who are:
You aren't crazy. You aren't complaining for the sake of it. Just because others can't hear it, it doesn't mean that it's not there.
@@larrylayton4873 Better Call Saul
True. I have super hearing too.
@@larrylayton4873Same!
When I was younger I could hear a high pitched noise as bats flew above me.I lost this ability as I got older.I now hear this low pitched hum every night.
@@oldscoolgaming.5040 Me too
I love that you have a recording of this sound right in the beginning.
I have tinnitus. It's an E note or a third above middle c (329.6276) Over the last two years since it started, I've become accustomed to it. I can now tune my guitar, with new strings, to almost perfect pitch because I can here that reference note so clearly. A little silver lining as it were.
I don't really know. I've played in bands for years but this tinnitus happened a decade after my last loud live show. I moved to electronic/acoustic. At first I thought the A/C unit was on, but it was winter, then perhaps the fridge, etc...then I realized it was in my head. It drove me crazy the first month. A year into it, I started taking a magnesium supplement and two weeks later I noticed the humming was gone. That actually lasted a whole year, but then, out of nowhere it came back. I thought magnesium was the cure, but no-go. I'm going to quit taking Advil, because I take it more than I should, and see if that's the culprit. @@fibonacho
Mine is also an E. I wonder if that pitch is common for tinnitus.
That's interesting I'll have to remember that next time I run into a musician who says they have tinnitus.
Most of the time it's due from not protecting your hearing.
But I do suspect there is a percentage of it that is just Unknown as to the cause.
I myself have always been super sensitive to Sound since a wee lad, so have always been really annoyed with loud noises and concerned about hearing health.
Every so often I feel like there's an air pressure change and I will hear like a tone in my ears usually one ear. I don't know if this is tinnitus or just having an air pressure difference and hearing the air going through equalizing in my ear. I'm always curious but it usually goes away after a minute or two.
There's this medicine called lipoflavinoid it works very well for tinnitus iv been taking it for years
Oh fuck thats actually something i never thought of before. Well I suppose if I do develop it I got that going for me lol
As a child I could hear an intermittent low hum while I was in my bed trying to sleep.
It took me a few years to realize that the hum was coming from a large rotating sign on top of our local brewery about a mile away from my house.
I believe that as the flat face of the sign came to be perpendicular to the prevailing wind, it would cause a low vibration as it’s bearings fought the force of the wind.
how did you ever discover a source like that?
I can feel the Lighthouse horn when I sleep, and it's about a mile away.
Lol
I only hear a noise when I go to sleep is if there is like no noise at all no background noise or anything then I hear something in my ears and it's so annoying because it won't go away unless I hear a noise so then I can't fall asleep
Btw 444 likes lol
I have misophonia. I can definitely hear why someone would end it all because of this sound. It physically hurts. It feels like it builds up a pressure in your head.
Yes, very easy to understand why people would just end it all. A constant, low drone or hum, at a frequency just audible to a human, rarely varying and sometimes lasting for hours, would be quite maddening.
Are there any therapies for this issue? I had a family member kill themselves from a fall that resulted in constant ringing.
Stupid questions from a guy who worked next to jets and would wear 2 pieces of ear protection:
Ringing noises after concerts or jets or engine noises, hammer guns, etc are an injury and the ringing is that frequency laying down in your ear. Its the sound receptor lying flat and losing its ability to function.
Are you experiencing the hum?
Does it change with ear protection?
I know certain patients with burning nerve pain from hiv complications use Marijuana and its not for pain killing its like... they describe it as a distraction? Like they forget about the issue enough to work on the yard and such where normally cortisol would be used. Marijuana for pain relief requires a great deal of increased uptake with pain relief but these patients report a small regular usage and comparable reasults with pain killers due to the "distraction".
Do you think Marijuana therapy would be relieving in your situation? Some effects are hightened senses in extreme ways for new users so for a small but certain percentage of people attempting this it would be very uncomfortable and not applicable.
Thank you for your post.
Misophonia, severe tinnitus and huperacusis here. Certain noises (like the hum of fluorescent lights) just make me irrationally angry. Other noises, like leaf blowers and dentist drills, cause me pain and make me vomit. I bought a pair of Flare earplugs that seem to help with many noises that would normally bother me; you can still hear normally with them in, but it alters the way the sound waves enter your ears (and they aren’t visible when you wear them). They have a money back guarantee, so it might be worth a shot to see if they work for you.
Don't know where you live, but in American homes, something is always buzzing, be it the AC, fridge, a fan... whatever. That alone is mentally straining enough without any additional problems, whether we realize it or not. I have to go to the forest fairly often. It really helps.
@@Boredchinchilla Oh wow I'm definitely going to try these thank you! I also have hyper vigilance. So while just blocking out sounds helps with the misophonia, my hyper vigilance then kicks in to overdrive and I start hearing even more sounds and the anxiety just builds. Then once the anger and anxiety leave it's just depression that remains. It's really hard to explain to people who don't experience it, so I definitely sympathise with the people being tormented by this humming. Thank you for sharing.
One reason not mentioned in this episode and can cause auditory "hallucinations" is cavity fillings (or any other metal inside your body) resonating with an electromagnetic wave - it could be a radio tower (especially AM), cellphone, or other stuff. And you will hear it very distinctively and vivid sound - to the point where some people could hear what music was playing on the radio. There is even an episode about it on Mythbusters.
I’m ambidextrous and I use to be a solo sailor. When you are 1500 miles from anywhere, next human, no radio, no microwave, no radar, you notice a difference, a quietness, a lightness, an absence of something you didn’t know was there. I do not enjoy being in big cities now because it feels like a heavy blanket. Humans give off energy that is accumulative. I live in a small village now, spend my time in the forest and am right on the ocean. They give off a better energy.
Yeah sure bro but tell us how you got away with the money and survived the parachute flight into the dark woods. The FBI sends their regards.
wtf does being ambidextrous matter?
I was waiting to hear what being ambidextrous had to do with it. You forgot to include that.
@nihilistlivesmatter5197 It was mentioned in the video that ambidextrous people are very likely to hear the hum.

As a student in public school I was 'inundated' by the sound and vibrating of fluorescent lights. I stuck to incandescent lights until LEDs became affordable.
The sound of florescent bulbs is very audible. Sometimes it's the ballast. Sometimes it's a loose connection. Getting rid of those bulbs is the best solution. Btw, cheap transformers also do this. They used to be found in old CRT TVs. If you hear a buzz, check older devices.
@@firesurfer When I was a field tech for IBM, I had an operator whose monitor was driving her crazy. This was back when they were CRTs. No one else could hear it, but she said the high-pitched hum was terrible. So I showed up when the operators were all at lunch and switched her monitor with another monitor there. When they came back, she immediately said her monitor wasn't humming anymore. I asked her to check the others and she correctly identified the one that had been on her desk. I changed out the high voltage power supply and that fixed it.
Phillips hue bulbs have been a godsend for me.
Thrifty Drug Stores were the WORST! I couldn’t even go into the store for the ice cream cones. My sister had to bring mine out to me. I’m not autistic, but I do have ADHD, and can hear all kinds of sounds most people can’t…I used to wonder if I could have a job “listening” for things, lol!
Yeah, fluoro ballasts can be real bastards.
I experienced an annoying low frequency hum about seven years ago that both my husband and children could not hear. I had just had a root canal and my tooth became infected with a mild abscess at the bottom of the tooth. I walked around the house putting my ear against the walls as I searched for the origins of the sound but to no avail. I thought an idling train was sitting at the rail crossing in the night so I got up and drove a kilometre away to see if a train was there but it wasn’t. The pain in my tooth started to increase so I went to the dentist and had it removed. About two weeks after that I never heard the sound again. I think that the abscess somehow inflamed the auditory nerve in my ear and it was causing a vibration that sounded low frequency.
I’ve gotten earaches from cavities before so I could totally see that.
Our teeth are connected to our brain and other organs. Never get fillings! Or live how you want to
Wow, you could be on to something.
Wow I think you just answered a lingering question I've had for months.
I’ve had no teeth problems, so what about us without problems but still hear it…I’ve heard it for YEARS
Holy cow... I have been hearing this in my house for the last year or so on and off. It turns out that it was coming from a vibratory roller that was being used in a construction site down the road. The craziest part was that my wife could not hear it at all!!! It would drive me nuts when that thing was going, mostly because it only seemed to bother me!!
Great video!
He really said, whether it's in your head or out of your head, "if you hear it, then it's real." And I almost cried.
I Hope you find a solution to dealing with this..the fact that this upload validated your exsperience is wonderful.
I can't imagine the hell, I myself live in an apartment building that houses 12 apartments, I had meddled with problems regarding shitty piping on the roof which I'm directly underneath, the hum would persist, me being the only healthy young adult who had promising youth in a prestigious university and lined for many achievements to come was naturally gaslit into thinking it was just in my head, it's as if almost others can feel the need to put you down just to feed on the misery like some eldritch leeches.
I have my noise cancelling airpods and ear mufflers, I also managed to permanently dampen any source of constructive resonance, but my heart goes to you who suffer on the grand scale of the greedy to whom we are bunch of annoying numbers
Unless it’s all in your head. Which it could be. Just because you hear it, doesn’t actually mean it’s real. It just means that your brain THINKS it’s real. After all, when your ears ring, you aren’t actually hearing any ringing.

I've never heard very low hums, but I used to hear very high sounds. Back in the '60s and '70s, the cash registers in a large discount department store near me made an awful noise, and my friends couldn't hear it. One friend knew what it was, but said, "You can't hear that! Only dogs can hear that!" The thing is, apparently it was hereditary, since my Dad, when he was young, had similar hearing. He claimed that, back in the '40s when he was a young navy man, he could hear the sonar through the hull of the ship, this in the crew's quarters, not the sonar room, and quoted messages being sent in code between ships by sonarmen. He got similar reactions. I'm 73 years old now and my high frequency hearing is gone.
Hearing the sonar messages. Underwater. In a submarine. I can imagine that being incredibly creepy before realizing what it actually was.
Some people hear a bit further into the ultra and infrasound range. Definitely hereditary.
What?
I'm in my 40s, and most of my high frequency hearing is gone now, due to a combination of age and industrial hearing loss. I do not miss it. It's such relief that it's gone.
Same! I’m a high pitched hearer even dog whistles.
I started hearing this in our new apartment years ago. I thought the neighbour's were running clothes dryer later at night. We moved, and I could still hear this sound at night. Low rumbling, turning, a machine, grinding, vibrating, oscillating. Its source is external to me. My wife has never heard it, despite my descriptions. One day while hiking in very large park, up the side of a rocky hill, I heard the sound louder than I have ever before. I asked my wife if she could hear it, and she confirmed for the first time she could hear it. No pipeline, not industry, on the side of a mountain overlooking the pacific ocean. grinding, rumbling, turning, vibrating, strobing, It was loud and everywhere.
This sounds like some sort of seismic or otherwise subterranean phenomenon
@@ddrreeaamm_brotherbut in multiple places? still creepy. i've occasionally randomly heard it but it's rather random.
You must be hearing the Earth's movement and rotation through space. The magnetic field and the sun, surely play a role, too.
I've only ever felt/heard something similar once in my life so far and it was a few minutes prior to an earthquake.
Folks, that sound is more nefarious than u can imagine! the source is fabricated on purpose in the center of our world and it has to do with EM turned against humanity. Remember the movie "They Live"? Humanity has been lulled into trance
there was a HUM in my area of Ontario, Canada with many people could hear I myself being one, the cause came back to be from a steel plant and the makeup of the area allows sound waves to travel and because the plants next to a riverbed makes sense. NOAA has found using hydrophones SOUND TRAVELS UNDERWATER as well as over water, go to a small lake you'll be able to hear people from the other side
Are you near Hamilton by any chance?
Imagine how many other species are constantly tormented by the incessant sound pollution our species manages to produce.

A note on the increased occurrence in people with ADHD or on the Autism spectrum: People who are neurodivergent often hear various sounds others aren’t able to pick up on. I have the frequent experience of hearing bad electrical outlets or cords before they lose function. I can also tell when various devices (computer, TV, wifi outlets) are on or off based on a high pitched ringing.
When I was living with roommates we had that funky “electrical burning” smell build up through a whole room, and I was able to use the sound to identify the bad plug - sure enough, the outlet had a burn when we unplugged the device.
yeah, when my lights are on theres a hum that like, sits in rhe back of my head
I thought everyone could hear that stuff? Drives me nuts sometimes 😂
I just call them "house noises"... they keep me up st night.
Are they "The Hum"? Maybe, maybe not, and surely not always.
This is really high pitch you hear. Im 36 and still can hear bad contact on phone charger
Yeah that high pitch one drives me nuts to. I'll the only one that can hear it. My kids sometimes do. They won't notice until I go see plugged in.... Unplugged... Plugged in and about them they go oi guess I do hear it but barely
100% think it's gas pipes. Used to live in a natural gas home and since then have only lived in electric neighborhoods. Walking around very late at night, especially during the winter made this low hum even more noticeable. I always chalked it up to the electricity poles that ran thru field behind our house but as soon as your showed the pipe pressure demo, that's EXACTLY how it sounded.
i started hearing it around 12 years ago and it drove me crazy. i became very sick and obsessed by it. i fled 2000 km 5 years ago after becoming addicted to opioids, which were the only day to deal with it. i cant possibly describe how desperate i was... doctors couldn't help me and i was completely on my own. my theory was it is coming from waterpipes and pumps. infrasound can produce overtones that can be heard inside rooms, in corners, even bodycavities in head and lungs can amplify it. i lived in a big city germany. i learned that infrasound produced by machines can cause great suffering and i think that a significant part of anxiety is caused by it. not even my parents believed me. i was in hell. now i live in a small house close to the mediterrian and all i hear at night are the waves of the sea. i still unplug the refrigerator at nights cause i cant stand the sound.
lol. I hear the sewer cleaners from miles away long before my family hears it. My daughters are starting to hear as well, but I’m still first. You know, those big vacuum trucks that have the tube to go down into the storm drains? Those.
Trains I can also hear from a long way off but I feel like that’s normal. We’re also within a mile of a major freeway. That’s what I attribute my hum to.
"I like to be DRAMATIC and needed a reason to justify doing drugs 🕺🏻so I smashed drugs and now I live by the seaside 🕺🏻and I unplug my fridge because I like ✨ DRAMA ✨
Omg ur completely describing my life, I have even been told it's in my head and I got psychological problems no! No I dont! It drives me crazy and I will do anything to cover it, ear buds in anything to cover it and yeah opioid do mask it, I used illegal opiates for years but now finally I now get opioid on prescription and now when there wearing off I feel the him coming back

Hi I'm kloppin, i like to be an ahole on the internet, it makes me feel superior. I'm fn insecure as hell.
In 2016 while at work, my hearing was damaged by a single exposure to a few minutes of loud noise. Following that, my ears were ringing. I have had tinnitus since then. It varies from soft to loud and in frequency, but never goes away. I can very much sympathize with the people who hear the hum. If escaping this noise in my head were as easy as moving to a new location, I'd be making plans and packing right now. Thanks for your research.
I have constant ringing both ears ,right one is worse than left .
Which has rendered me not able to stand loud noise.
Dr says besides the tintinitis and nerve damage .not much can be done .
I'd pack my bags and come with you. I would give nearly anything to hear silence again.
@@cherylradabaugh2720 I even asked if they could burn the auditory nerves. I'd rather be deaf that hear this noise all the time. He said that unfortunately people have found out that the noise doesn't go away even when someone is deaf.
@@jebsmith323yeah from what I understand (which albeit is limited and I’m not someone who studies the field, I just study to try and understand my dads pain) is that the brain fills the missing frequencies itself, and that’s what causes the ringing. It’s typically in the frequencies that are damaged which is why you can still hear other things. But since your brain is essentially hallucinating the missing frequencies, idk how you can “turn it off”😭😭😭

I've heard it a couple of times in the last decade. I remember lying in my bed wondering why someone would be running a large, diesel motor for many hours non-stop throughout the night, but there is no such vehicles anywhere nearby to me. I clearly remember that it was difficult to tell whether I was "hearing" or "feeling" it, but probably a little of both.
I thought the same thing
There actually is a lot of noise in factories that can be heard and felt miles off. I also think that since noise is frequency, there may be certain locations where sounds gather and coagulate together. Dwellings can amplify them in some angles and locations and not others. I have walked around and then outside to find things sound quiet there, but there is still a strange buzz inside that sounds like it's from outside, except there is no structure to capture, focus and amplify it there.
Same here
What if the noise is from deep subterranean drilling or boring of tunnels?
Exactly,it’s a vibration- not exactly hearing.It’s horrible.
We stayed at an oceanfront rental home in Duck in the Outer Banks around 2015 when there was a tropical storm coming up the East Coast. I woke up from a nap thinking there were Sirens going off in town and we should evacuate but it was the wind making this "siren" sound which was resinating from hitting parts of the house facing the ocean. And it went on for days and it was so annoying! And you could only hear it from our room and going outside, facing the ocean, by the pool or on one of the balconies.
I’m a deaf person! I hear low humming that changes to high humming & back to low humming occasionally. The frequency of the events were significant years ago but not so much now. I was hard of hearing as a child & into adulthood and wore hearing aides. The sound events even happened when my aides were out at night. It’s inside my head. Doctors found out that it was the auditory nerves dying at different rates & times inside my head. The events sometimes were intense as the frequencies changed. It used to scare the hell out of me. My hearing loss was contributed to frequent use of mycin (streptomycin erythromycin etc.) drugs as a child in early 60’s. Now I’m totally deaf.
I'm sorry!
Im so glad you had a good enough doctor to get answers! Gosh that is scary im happy you were able to overcome that experience ❤
That’s terrible. I’m so sorry! I pray God heals you❤
Could you explain more about what was so weird when the frequency changed? Like what did it actually feel like etc, sorry I am just genuinely very interested as I've never heard about this before.
Isn't erythromycin for eye problems??
Our neighborhood was shut off from power for 8 hours and there was a silence that was profound. The animals all noticed it too. We are surrounded by electricity and the things that consume it, we get used to it and activly ignore it.
Noise pollution is a real thing that human bodies react to.
My reaction to sitting up front in the movie theatre for a star wars movie years ago, during a very loud scene of the chase thru the woods was severe drowsiness, nausea and then unconsciousness for the entire 2 hour movie! Noise is a sneaky weapon.

@@peetsnort Yep i know what you mean .
I'm not surprised. I hear things much higher than most people. In the old days, some people's dogs would bark, growl, howl, or whimper when their TV was on. I knew why. Those TVs made a terrible high-pitched noise that no one else ever heard. Eventually, I found out that I had a normal range of hearing but at a much higher pitch. The doctor said I could hear sounds almost as high as a dog could. I've always assumed that those people heard at a much lower range than most people.
I used to hear the tvs, too! The old tube tvs. I still can with the flat screens nowadays, but it has to be very quiet for me to hear it.
@@JacobE-23 it's very annoying, isn't it?
@@Sandra.Sandy.Robinson definitely is! Glad I hardly notice it now lol
I remember the old tube TV sound. It was kind of a static, hard to feel when it was already on, but I could tell when the TV was being turned on or off due to the sudden difference. I'd hear and feel a weird buzz as soon as it turned on.
When I was younger I could always hear the TV turn on and start up nobody believes me and now I've been hearing the hum for years I was really starting to wonder what I was hearing even went so far as to put a tin foil hat on like someone recommended and it cut the Noise by 80%
Thanks for this video. I live in France and I've been hearing the (annoying) hum for the past 15 years. It is more pronounced in quiet and rural areas. The prime suspect for me was the combined electromagnetic fields from wifi, GSM, 3G, 4G, TNT, etc. After watching this video, I'll check if there are some gaz pipelines in the surrounding area. Thanks again for your investigations.
Once, when managing senior apartments, one of my elderly ladies called me late at night. She said she could hear water running in the wall in the bathroom. So of course, I drove over there. When I arrived, i followed her to the bathroom as she went in and turned on the lights. She asked if I could hear it. But I couldn't hear anything over the bath ceiling fan, so I flipped the switch off. Then startes listening again but couldn't hear anything. Suddenly she said that's weird, I don't hear it anymore....😅
So I tunees the fan back on and then she says "can you hear it now". I smiled and showed her as I turnes the fan light switch on amd off. she was very embarrassed and sorry for calling me LOL she was 98/99, shortly thereafter she passed away. Though not because of old age or natural causes. She quit eating ....she always used to say she was waiting to go but that the good lord must have forgotten about her. It was sad but she went in her terms I suppose. Her kids never came to see her.
That's funny! I'm surprised she had such good hearing at her age.
I'm sorry she passed away but at least she had a long life.
You were very kind to go there at night.❤

Regardless, thank you for easing her cares in the middle of the night ♥️
I experienced the hum, had no idea that it was a thing. After a couple of months I tracked it down to an upstairs neighbor getting high and playing singing bowls all night long. Only the low frequency sounds managed to get through the thick concrete slab between our apartments.
😂
That's A hum... Not The Hum!
I’d take the humming pipeline over the singing bows😬
Thats really cool actually
@@sphanselman6not necessarily…he may have solved this. 😳🤔
I put on my headphones so I could hear your recordings of the hum. I recognised it straight away.
I've heard this, but only at my Grandparents home in Broken Hill, NSW. My Grandmother had a spare bed in her bedroom near the window, and that's where it's loudest. It even rattles the window from time to time. As a small child, it was a comforting sound that helped me get to sleep.
My Grandmother had always put it down to the mines below Broken Hill, and this was the explanation I accepted. Broken Hill is a mining town.
I didn't mind the hum. It was a phenomenon I'd grown up with and was just the sound of my Grandparents home.
I agree. The strange phenomenal experiences that I have had in my past were usually soothing in some way.
Sweet memory. I used to hear it in my old house in a gold mining town in Northern California. I was sure the old mines amplified the sound of machinery somewhere close by. It was sinister to me. I was happy to move from there.
I reckon it's mining tunnels for DUMBs.
Where are the recordings? No one has a time stamp.

Everybody is telling me that I’m imagining things, I did ear tests, and checked for tinnitus, and everything showed it is ok, nothing to be worried about, I told my family doctor that I feel vibrations and it is not my body shaking, even when I am in bed it happens, I was told it is your nerve system, you need to relax, it is totally different from what the doctors are saying, I never knew that there are others like me, I started believing I’m going nuts and it all in my brain, I feel more than I hear, but when it is combined it drives me crazy and I go to my bed just to avoid my family who thinks I’m going crazy from my meds I am taking.
I thank you for clarifying this to me.
In market in my city in Poland is distinct smell that is overpowering me, I remember it since childhood. Parents said I'm crazy, my brother can smell it too.
Do you experience it when in other places? On vacation?
It is really strong when I'm in front of my tv and around appliances. I do think "they", the corporations or scientists who manufacture this stuff know it does this to some sensitive people.
Sounds like they just want an excuse to put you on medications for profit

The power went out in our Brisbane suburb a few weeks ago and it was pure bliss. A calm came over both hubby and I and we FELT so good, like a weight had been lifted from us. The moment it came back on, the hum, anxiety and headaches returned.
I know what you mean. I couldn't live without power, but I hear it too; not all the time, but sometimes. And at times, it's more akin to a physical sensation in your head rather than a sound.
I've lost power a few times in my area over the years and every time my fibromyalgia, ADHD, ME/CFS, migraines, insomnia significantly improve and it's not an overt feeling incredible type of thing, more like the realization that you don't feel bad for once - and it's not just electronic devices and light pollution because we were using backup batteries and still used electrical devices. living on a communal farm is sounding pretty good nowadays lol

As someone from Kokomo who is also an audio engineer, I have spent so much time talking with people, taking recordings and investigating all of the claims of the hum. I've never experienced it strongly, this video is insane to me, incredible work.
Are there underground military tunnels in that spot?
Only time I heard the hum was in Auckland, NZ, and I was on ~1g of mushrooms... haha.
Does the appearance of the Kokomo hum happen to coincide with the time period they installed the large windmills on 31 around the Sharpsville area ?
OMG... I can hear this sound. For a couple of decades, I had assumed it was a factory miles away in the neighboring county. It sounds to me like a low rumbling sound of engines or machines. It was not until the factory closed, and I continued to hear the sound, that I realized the factory was not it. I asked my family and I was the only one in the family who can hear it !
I might be a minority but sometimes I can hear it louder than other days and sometimes not all at. I just listened to a frequency test on youtube and my sound is at 27 hertz. Like right on the dot.
@@deekamikazesimilar thing for me at work. They've been building a subway station nearby, so I attributed it to that, but I've never asked my colleagues if they hear it too. Would be interesting to check.

I hear that same type of sound for real when I am laying in silence at night. It's getting so very irritating. I keep trying to shake it off, but the sound doesn't go away til morning it seems, or until another sound takes over... I was actually quite scared the first night I heard it, but now, it's just annoying to me...
Guys...me 3 and it's underground...I'm sure of it!!!

@Shadoefax760 Yep, you nailed it; that's what I thought it was. I was in the basement and assumed it was construction machines/trucks going back and forth. In fact, I even went upstairs and outside to see what was going on, but it was dead silent out there (as it should be, given that it was around 10:30 pm). Going back downstairs I once again hear it. @wendystroh7099 Yes, me too; it's only when the commotion of the day gives way to silence that I hear that now-familiar throbbing
Thanks for making this video. During my whole life I've thought that I was the only one who can heard it, but, thanks to this video, now I feel relieved.
This has happened to me since I was very young (probably 7 or 8).
The firsts times I heard this sound I was really scared. It was a very loud noise and also I felt like some kind of pressure in my ears. I live in Spain, near Barcelona's airport, and when I grow up a little I thought this sound was caused by some airplane that was over the city, but then one summer I went on a trip to a small village in the mountain and I heard the same sound.
Nowadays (I'm 22) I do not hear it quite as often as I heard it when I was a kid, but I'm less scared when I heard it.
As a hearer myself, I'd like to describe my experience with it because I nearly unalived myself because of the Hum. The onset was rapid, over the course of a week. This occurred in 1995, in southern Arizona. The hum had a frequency of 37 Hz and it "bouldered". It was always present. I saw my doctor, my neurologist, a couple of ENTs, a psychiatrist. The power co. came and made acoustic measurements. Turning off the power to the house had no effect.
BUT by stuffing my ears tight, I could block the Hum almost entirely. That enabled me to keep alive. So, yada yada yada, 25 yesrs later I am living near the Pacific Ocean in California and the Hum has entirely disappeared. This is wonderful of course, but I still live in a state of anxious fear that the Hum will return. But I can't begin to describe the huge sense of relief I feel at its going!
I am a retired software engineer and astronomer. Thank you.
37hz couldn't be power related. honestly i would go back at a later date and see if you still hear it there. i'm not saying to go through un needed stress but it would determine if it truelly is location based.
@@blendpinexus1416 Thank you. Both an electrical engineer and an acoustician made measurements. They found nothing.
I hear you man, I live in northern Ohio, started hearing it it a few years ago mostly at night. Seems to originate from a northern direction. It definitely sucks sometimes, as it is louder inside. No one else hears it, I take no medication other than some thc here and there. I hope it goes away some day.
Some years back at my old house I’d hear a sound like a truck idling. For a long long time I thought it was the neighbor idling his tow truck just down the road. But then I noticed I could NOT block it out, that placing my hands over my ears only made it louder. I also noticed the times it was at its loudest was after driving at night for a long highway stretch with the windows rolled down. Thankfully this sound is long gone for me.
I have been hearing somethin that I assumed was inconsiderate neighbors playing music all night long. It’s not loud, it’s what seems to be low-level bass.
I’ve lived in my house and neighborhood for almost two years and have never experienced this anywhere else. I don’t hear it when I travel, only when attempting to sleep at night on my bedroom. My boyfriend doesn’t hear it at all, he only hears music on the nights when someone is actually having a party with louder music.
It’s made me feel pretty crazy, to be honest, but I bought a sleeping headband with slim headphones that I use to boot it out with brown noise from an app.
Would definitely prefer to not have to wear something on my head every night, but it’s maddening to not be able to escape that seemingly not-there noise!
I live in central Mexico, I can hear/feel the hum. Nobody in my family nor my neighbors hear it. It doesn’t bother me much , it turns on and off, but I was going crazy trying to find out what it was. I finally reached another UA-cam video that talked about “Gas Pipeline Syndrome”. It all made sense to me. A gas pipeline runs actually under my street. I was surprised when I heard it while camping in the Baja California desert, then I noticed the warning signs of a gas pipeline running all the way down the transpeninsular highway. For me that’s it.
unless they have been taken down for security purposes, we used to be able to look up the location of pipelines buried all over the country. I know there is a very large one that runs diagonally up to the northeast, and the gas is pushed at subsonic speeds. There is a huge hub of them at Cushing OK.
While visiting Taos, NM, my young daughter complained about a constant noise. We were told locals called it the "Taos Hum."
I've never heard the Hum, but no a still day I could 'hear' the high-tension power lines that ran along the end of our property. Not sure if it was the actual electricity or just the lines vibrating further on since I grew up in a very windy state.
@@draco6061 If you want something to make your hair stand up whilst camping. Try pitching under the electric pylons or with in a few hundred meters (USA yards). 24/7 the sould of 24,000 volts crackels along those lines to where ever. Some City or Town along the way. It's not just the sound that makes the hair prickle. It's the thoughy that lightning can arc, that if it rains then water conducts and it's not as meek as a 9 volt battery. It's 24,000 volts. I do not think I am hypersensive when I would not walk under neath when raining with an erected unbrella.

I so want to hear your next album "HUM" that's made from all the feelings, experiences, and sounds you collected for this project. 💜Thanks for all you do Benn.
As for myself. I have heard the hum at times, enough to want to track the phenomena.
I have slept at 3 locations and I've only heard it early in the morning and only at two of the locations that are closer to the freeway. My final conclusion was that it was something having to do with equilibrium changes between blood pressure and inner ear fluid density. It's almost as if waking up in the early morning, and being very still, brings out the sound and once it's heard it's hard to ignore.
They called this "The Hum". My mum had one in Southampton, it was traced to heavy equipment in the basement of the Southampton University campus building not a half mile from her house. It tended to be a night because that's when they ran the machines more, presumably so they could come in in the morning to get results with less waiting. This was in the 2010s.
So your mum heard a hum and found where it came from. Lol, what a poem.
Thanks for the comment. The ability to hear electricity is real. I hear it up close and in the walls. I've scared people knowing where the lines are inside walls. I'm sure your mom has had this experience since childhood.
They probably did it at night because the power consumption is much lower at night and if you are using equipment that uses massive amounts of energy so much that it can overload the power grid then you would need to use it at night. I can also hear a hum from electricity but I thought that was normal lol.
@@PalmBeachFlorida24 I hear and feel electricity, too. When it is quiet, I can hear cell phones charging. It's a horrible noise. I leave the room. I've never met another person who can hear it. I also hear dog whistles, which human beings are not supposed to hear.

I went through hell and back when I lived in Roslin, Scotland. I specifically bought my house for peace and quiet, in the middle of fields, no close neighbours and nothing, I thought, that would disturb my peace of mind. The hum was intermittent, loud, could be heard in the garden and house. I drove round the lanes around my house at all hours days and night trying to find the source, asked many questions, contacted the Environmental Health Officer, bought a phone which could download the app to measure the wavelength of any sound. It was 50Hz with harmonics of 100Hz which is the sound of electricity. I liaised with the electricity company, had the transformer outside the house changed, the feed wire changed, explored all the shops in the area, went to all the big buildings at night, fretted, cried, thought I was going crazy and went into deep depression. Eventually I had to move much further south and no longer hear it. My HUGE sympathies with whoever is still suffering from this horrible horrible hum.
I've heard it in Edinburgh
This makes allot of sense!! I hear it mostly during winter and summer when the electricity-ac unit or heater is being ran more. Makes sense. Thank you for your insight!! 💕
Roslin is not so very far away from a lot of commercial activity and living in the middle of a field probably meant there was nothing around you to stop sounds travelling.
Heard it in bothies, and those are usually in the middle of nowhere
Sounds like you need more background white noise or music to mask any low level hum or infrasound. It could be anything from natural to manmade to a combination of both or none of the above just your own blood noises rattling around in your head.
The brain filters out a lot of unwanted information so the worse thing you possibly can do is focus on it trying to work out what it is as your brain will be on full alert for it, opposite of what you want.
Low frequency sound travels & goes around corners & through structures it's the hardest to attenuate.
Do you also feel it or only hear it, does ear muff type hearing protection dampen it or noise cancelling device help? Do others experience it as well, what do kids hear as their hearing is more acute?
Personally I can pickup in the dead of night what sounds like a transformer yet can't identify but usually manage to ignore after a while & yeah it's annoying.
Did previous tenants also experience it?
Maybe crazy but I'd even try weight/fluid change so you resonate differently in response to frequency if feeling it.
Goodluck
40 years ago as an electronics investigator I was asked if I could locate the new hum affecting Plymouth UK. I had access to similar but older audio/ radio equipment in a mobile van (but no computers) It was covering most of the city and after several days I had started checking the fringes of South Dartmoor when it abruptly stopped. I was taken off the case.
Mr Jordan's program has made me realise that a new gas fired power station had been built on the outskirts of the city about then which was being powered up intermittently to cover periods of high electricity demand. I wonder if that was it?
Sounds reasonable. Anything moving can cause vibration and vibrations can interact like two stones plopped in a pond sometimes they cancelled each other out sometimes they amplify ..like the marching on bridges... gas water wind the planets all are creating vibrations through the earth and air and they cross each other and amplify each other the same way waves in the sea suddenly cause a big tsunami or a giant wave in the sea. It seems plausible that not only gas but many things could coincide to create a rogue wave of vibration. In other news my mom has always sworn she can hear moths!!! She says it sounds like those plug in things for getting rid of mosquitos and mice.
This video reminded me that i always heard a high pitched humming noise in my ears.
The first time i noticed, was when a energy outage happened during the night, and everything was quiet, i heard it buzzing in my ears, and i though to myself "wait, humans really can't hear nothing? There is always this stactic sound being picked by my ears?" And so i lived until this day, when this video reminded me that i still hear this sound, and it never went away, i just stopped noticing it.
I'm autistic and I can hear so many things other people can't. Electrical sounds are plain painful to my ears; when my toaster's plugged in it feels like my eardrums will burst out, even if I'm in another room. I physically feel pressure, just like when you dive into water and need to equalize the pressure in your ears. Anything motor/air compressor low rumbling makes me nauseous and I can hear or feel these sounds from quite far. Every member of my close family is neurodivergent one way or another and we all have some kind of hearing extra sensitivity. Pretty interesting that neurodivergent people were over represented in the hum hearer group.
Hello also autistic here . i can hear electricity ringing noises that's quite literally deafening from the lights , and my computer even when its turned off its like a humming ringing noise

I live in a rural area north of Detroit. I began hearing the hum around 2009. As an engineer, I went through the troubleshooting process, shutting things down as you described. I ended up having to run a loud electric fan every night in order to sleep. This went on for years. Then, one evening in early 2019, I noticed it was gone. It's never returned. Listening to your pipeline theory this evening jarred my memory. In 2017 a major underground construction project replacing aging gas mains was started. The gas company had to reroute the location of the line for geological reasons. The new route was many miles south of where I live. But the route caused a big problem among the affected residents who didn't want the line cutting through their properties. That's how I remembered this. The project eventually completed at the end of 2018 and they switched it on. This coincides with the cessation of the hum around my home. Very interesting. This pipeline theory is probably a strong contender. Although I agree there are likely several different causes
I was living in the area at the time as a UPS driver and I remember this well!! I’ve since moved out west in 2020. People on my routes were getting the re routing through their fields and properties at the time. I’m super curious if they now hear it! I might have to make some calls tomorrow
Im surprised and disapointed the Author did not mention the role geology could play. they started to with the canyon, but they even discounted Geology when they said "ELF would not be localized" ...for example, ELF is an Electromagnetic field, For it to be turned into a sound, it would need an 'antennae', like iron deposits in the ground. Similar to how your speaker wire picks up your cell phone signal and turns it into sound. The geology of an area absolutely could cause EMF signals to cause sound, and certain areas could be affected more regardless of the source. For all the EMF sources the mentioned, they didn't explain how EMF would turn into sound. The earth, or pipes (or anything) would have to be speakers, not a single mention of the science behind this and what in these areas could match the science.
also. geology around pipelines could contribute the the sound being more perceivable.
Also an example, Buildings and mountains often confuse the source of a sound, they can even amplify it for certain places. People will say a sound came form their left, when really it was straight ahead.
😮
For what its worth, I use to hear the hum now I don't, and I will tell you how. One night when I could hear it, I asked my son if he could hear it and after some carefully listening, he could as well. We did move to a new area, not because of the hum and I could still hear it there. It was very loud at our new place as well. I told my son to never listen for the hum and he has never heard it again. I realized I had to do the same, never listen for it, because as you listen for it to see if it is there or not, you will always find it. It has been over 4 years and I have never heard it again and never tried. Hope this helps someone because I now how bad it can be.
This is something that helps.
Once in a while I might notice it late at night if I can’t sleep. It can be easy to fall into the "trap". But focusing on the sound or thinking about it only makes it worse.
The days I keep busy and fall asleep quickly I don’t notice it at all.
I realize there’s a connection to earthquakes, when it’s get stronger. Now i don’t listen any more
I don't listen for it. It literally wakes me up at 2 or 3 am 😭😭😭
That's what I do for all of my problems. Never fails
It's like the game.
If you think about the game, you l lose. 😁
Thank you SOO MUCH, for doing this. I hear a high pitched electrical sound that my husband can’t hear. It drives me nuts that I can’t figure out where it’s coming from and because it really does bother me. It’s always at night when I take our Shepard out and at a time of the day that noises are much quieter than during the busy daytime hours. I was thinking that it was coming from the night lamps that come on at night in our community and there is one right in front of our house. But who knows, maybe someday I will figure it out. Thanks for all of your research and investigations into this, it has helped me more than you know!
I just went out to check and it’s still there, it’s not the street lamp, I’ve already counted that out for several reasons. It sounds like the sound is bouncing off the houses in the community and it ebbs and tides, gets louder then lower. I never hear it in the house only outside and only at night. It’s nuts.
I used to hear this in my first apartment in Japan at night more specifically. HATED it, always thought it was a truck idling outside, but when I looked there was nothing outside or nearby outside. Drove me NUTS
Maybe you still hear it but your brain tones it out as background noise
@@CatoTato Thats the key to keeping sanity
haarp may have been used heavily on japan starting in 1995
It can the Earth. The sound can be very loud during earthquake.
That's exactly how I would discribe the noise I heard when I moved to live in a rural part of my country. I could have swore there was a vehicle engine running outside my house. However I got used to it and although I still hear it sometimes, I've been able to dismiss it as something natural.
👍Thank you for investigating this!
I heard the hum in the early 2000s... thankfully, only for about 5 days. It began at night and vanished 5 days later at night. I couldn't sleep during those days. It sounded like an idling Harley Davidson engine, but only the bass part. I felt it throughout my entire body. The sound was somehow "in the air"; it had no direction, and closing the windows and doors made no difference. Nobody except me heard it; I asked all my neighbors in the area... nobody heard it. I was so relieved when it disappeared. Years later, when I first read about it on the internet, I instantly got shivers down my spine. I can't imagine how hard it must be to live with this ... horrible ...
thank you! exactly the same experience but in the 2010s.
I hear the hum here in Colorado, It's such a relief when it stops. I am so used to the hum that I don't realize when it starts most of the time. Love it when it stops. My whole body feels it, and my brain relaxes.
I feel like it's the HAVANA SYNDROME
It's frequency's purposely used by our government
@khstudioyt7165 I initially thought it was the new 5G towers being installed and I was so mad! I didn't realize it was a phenomenon for a couple years, until I decided to do a search to see if other people in my neighborhood were complaining about pulsing from the towers... instead I discovered it was called The Hum and was far older than 5G. Definitely not an elite club I ever wanted to belong to! Luckily I'm only an occasional member.
Really funny to hear that people with a history of autism in their families have a notably higher % of ability to hear the hum than not... as someone with autism, and who spends a lot of time in that community, i can say that a lot of autistic people can hear electrical hums that a lot of other people can't, and lots dont even realize that its weird that they can hear their toaster when its plugged in, or the tv when its on but not the cable box. Definitely a cause of the hum for some.
I have AuHD; my husband is Neurotypical and the amount of loud sounds I can hear and he can’t is wild!
Yes I have Synesthesia and am neurodivergent, and I have the same experiences.
I have undiagnosed neurodivergency and i hear that hum sometimes. Its been about a year since ive heard it in central nm tho
I have autism but I don’t think I hear the hum or electrical sounds. I didn’t know toasters made sounds when they’re not actively being used. I’d say I have a keen awareness of subtle sounds but I also have bad hearing and can’t hear things in the mid range. On top of that I have tinnitus so I always have some form of sound playing to drown out the ringing. I didn’t realise it was common for other autistic people to hear such things.
Yes, I am autistic and I hate the sound of lights and refrigerators.
A breath of fresh air to hear of someone keeping an open mind while doing actual objective and rational research into a subject. Seems rarer and rarer these days.
And yes, it make sense that this hum probably comes from multiple causes, which is why it's been hard to pin down.
Hi! This was a super interesting video; As someone with Autism and ADHD, I just want to throw my two cents in here.
It is true that many of us have a heightened senses, or rather, once we notice something, we can't tune out.
For example, I can literally hear my outlet, my speakers humming, my microphone etc., and I have to shut them off or unplug things so i can peacefully sleep at night.
Stuff that normal people can tune out, can be absolutely devastating, like hearing the fluorescent lights at school was torture. It makes sense for a large portion who report this to be on the spectrum!
Fascinating data I say
Super human. That is what the makers of the "highly effective" shots seek. Control of our super sensitive family members is done with the built-in emf grids, electricity usage grids, subscribed pipelines in and out of our homes, and that damn cell phone that caused me diagnoses of cellulitis (my ears were burned from using it and who knows how much was burned beyond my skull) and is becoming the bane of my free existence, what, with it connecting to every card I don't really own (all cards are owned by the issuers and you carry them only as privileges), my bank accounts, and my address. The cell phone number is the key to opening or erasing everything about you.
Never underestimate what the brain is capable of sensing!
Omg it's chuck McGill from better call saul
AuDHD here too. To add to your experience, which correlates with mine too… I am suffering from Autistic/nervous system burn out atm and my acoustic sensitivity has gone off the charts. It’s like the volume dial on EVERYTHING got turned waaaaaaaay up. I can’t go into a shopping mall anymore, despite growing up loving to go shopping and concerts etc. Some pitches are so much worse than others. Two such include the sound of children’s cry-screaming and even their really loud laughter. I have two such young children so it’s pretty tough at the moment, with a lot more meltdowns for me (and for them - they are AuDHD too). We need cars with individual soundproof pods 😆
I feel ya buddy. I have major difficulty tuning out distractions that other people write off as superficial
I have heard that sound. It raises my anxiety. I hear power lines and florescent lights and just being outside. I also hear it when trying to go to sleep.
I can not go to big box stores…. Absolutely has something to do with a hummmmm . My anxiety goes through the roof. I haven’t been to our local Walmart in 12 years and it’s our only store like that.
@@rachelcarter5282 theyve also increased how many cameras they use. I know that makes some people uncomfortable.
Can you hear a shorting or "bad" wire? With TVs still using cable connectors, I can hear if they are not fully connected or if there is another issue such as too little shielding/thin wire. Not up close by the TV either, that really high-pitched sound of a mosquito except I can hear it over 15-20 feet away while those in the room do not.
Or how about electric dog whistles? Same thing for me, but up to about 6 feet from it.
Figured I would ask since I also hear the lights, which, sounds kinda bad when i say it that way, but I think you all know what I mean.
@@livewithmeterandnomeasureb1679 I don’t know anything about that. Avoid the place like the plague.I see things on the streets of utube but unless I see it with my own eyes…🤷🏻♀️ I’m not sure we can even believe those these days. I shop local mom and pop stores as often as possible… I haven’t shopped in a “ real box store” in 12 years. I’m a thrift store shopper on a disabled person budget.. So I rarely shop and I’ve also never shopped on line. I’m to broke and pretty much can’t stand more than 3-4 other people in the store at the same time. I go at odd times to avoid people because I’m not fond of strangers either🤷🏻♀️
Power transmission wires and fluorescent lamp ballasts give off "60 cycle hum" that can be annoying to some people
I "heard" a subsonic regularly pulsing as I moved around certain spots in a yard. Turned out to be the sewage mixers from a treatment plant a mile away. My friends couldn't hear it.
I can still hear the high-pitched whine of failing vacuum tubes in older televisions and thunderstorms hours before they show up. I also hear the rumble of motor vehicles and trains on a road a mile away, from inside my house. I used to be able to hear bat squeaks.
i sometimes hear the buzz of my chargers and outlets if it’s quiet enough, do you get that as well??
I experience a recurring noise. It happens to me most often when I'm either watching TV or playing a video game. It sounds like this: "Are you going to do that all day? Why don't you get up a do something? The bathroom is a mess!" I just want it to stop. For God's sake SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP!!!
Shockingly... some of us can hear electricity. Like literal electricity.
It’s not shocking. That’s what this is.
@@stedydubdetroit you missed the joke.
I hear a constant tone since 1.5yrs ago.
It ended up being genetic worsening of hearing, specifically low sounds.
Because of it i started hearing higher pitch better.
It sucks but i can hear small led lights, electricity, gas flowing through pipes and many other high pitched sounds people with good hearing cant.
I hear it…
I thought everyone could?
Yes I’ve heard this hum for years. No one else hears that I’ve asked. I’ve stopped talking about it thinking something is wrong with me. One observation, it’s heard on some parts of the year and not other times. As an aside I’ve been a radio listener since the 1950’s, ham radio license 1961, commercial broadcast radio engineer 1978-88, employed Voice of America 1988-2006 in worldwide assignments. I’m no stranger to EM waves or natural sounds. I live in an HOA with miles of gas pipes here. You are the best channel to have attempted an explanation. Thank you. Tom in Poulsbo, Washington
Have you ever considered if it might be like some kinda bass-y tinnitus? My little sister has tinnitus, the normal, ringing kind, but low-frequency tinnitus is a thing. What you're hearing might not even be tinnitus, which happens with no external stimuli, some people are extremely sensitive to certain things. Like, my sister also perceives many artificial lights that appear steady to the rest of us to be blinking rapidly and light reflections that don't bother me hurt her eyes. Likewise, there's people who can become especially sensitive to certain frequencies/types of sound where they struggle to hear spoken conversation but a ticking clock is deafening. You might just have a particular sensitivity to one sound frequency that others don't have.
For all of us, sensory perception is an experience constructed in the brain that's informed by input from our peripheral nervous systems sensory receptors, but not necessarily directly tied to it. That's why amputees experience phantom limbs but people born without the limb don't, it's why sometimes you can get hurt bad but you aren't aware until you notice the injury, and also why sometimes people can experience excruciating pain from a mild injury they think is serious. I've got fibromylagia, which is basically a disease where my central nervous system perceives touch/pain signals as way more serious than they are and responds to normal inputs as if they're severe.
I dunno that I really have a point here other than knowing all this was really comforting to me, that we're all just kinda winging it upstairs, so if there's something "wrong" you and I are in good company. Oh, actually, a point if it is tinnitus, sometimes that can happen just because our brains are bored from a lack of input and start making up stuff to fill the quiet, so a noise machine or a noise-making object in the room with you like a tabletop fountain or a box fan can help your brain stop doing that.
"Keep Your AS Up!"
I recently passed thru Poulsbo and had some ice cream and hung out for a minute on my way home from Suquamish, and while I didn’t hear anything, I found myself deeply unsettled the whole time I was there. Like, it was a noticeable sense of unease.
Are there train tracks nearby? Almost drove me insane at one point, but then I realized it was simply train engines sitting idle a mile away! 😁 My wife couldn't hear it so that was even more of a strike to my psyche. My names Thomas as well, maybe this was meant to be, I hope in your case it is the damn trains, but if not, I hope you find solace from the group of people who also hear low bass sounds when others don't. We're not nuts! 👍😎✌🗽
@@emexdizzy I’m sure it’s not a tinnitus spectrum. It feels external.
The relief that so many people must feel to learn that they aren’t crazy. Thank you for this passionate yet unbiased research. Instant subscribe.
it's really awesome reading all the comments... hearing people around the country sharing, caring and trying to figure shit out. Fills my heart on many levels especially these days, they can't divide us dammit lol
Yes and no. They went on scientific route instead of believing that "those are ghosts" or something similar. Phenomena was wide enough and happens consistently in certain regions so it could be something else than being crazy.
Never heard of this, but very interesting. The one thing you mentioned as a way to rule out a radio source, stating it would be intermittent is not nessesary true. An example of this is any of the well known ow number stations that broadcast basically non-stop to preserve the station so no one else uses is. Not sure if that is a factor, but it could be a consideration.
My husband has always told a story about his childhood. When he would lay down in bed to sleep he would hear a loud whooshing pulsating sound as he was trying to go to sleep. It turns out it was caused by an artery near his ear canal pulsing blood. I can’t imagine how bothersome it would be to live with a sound that’s never goes away. I feel sorry for those 2% of people that experience the hum.
I get his sometimes, I thought everyone got it 😂
Oh hey I used to have that as a kid too! It always sounded like marching to me, as if there were hundreds of tiny little soldiers stepping in sync with each other. I knew it was just my blood pumping but listening to it as I tried to fall asleep was weirdly amusing. I haven't heard it in a long while, I had totally forgotten about it until reading your comment!
Sometimes, if I've had too much caffeine, or have been doing a vigorous activity, when I first get in bed and lay an ear on the pillow, I will hear and feel my heartbeat pounding in my ears. It's quite distracting and annoying. Fortunately, that only happens about every month or so, but I did have it happen two or three days ago. The solution is always to lay on my back with my ears uncovered for a few minutes.
I have ADHD, and one side effect (not sure if everyone with ADHD has it), my brain does not filter background noise. Normally, your ears pick up all the noise around you, and then it is transmitted to your brain, which sorts through it and decides which ones are the most relevant - it is not perfect, as sometimes people miss it, but mostly sudden loud (or sometimes just sudden) noises and voices (and in a crowd, also which voices specifically. Familiar ones, and that of a person standing in front of you being usually a priority) are the things the brain considers very important, and in a way it "reduces" the background noises. My brain doesn't do that (lazy lump of cells), and I perceive everything at its original volume, and same priority. Be it voices (ALL OF THEM! Crowds are hell, and I like me a quiet corner in a restaurant when I go there, as I have no voices from behind me.), sudden noises, clocks ticking, pens scratching, the rush of rain, the faint sound of an ambulance a block away, the buzzing of electricity of a crappy phone loading station. I also still hear that annoying sound that is supposed to keep teenagers from public spaces (which sucks, by the way. So rude), and martens out of your car's hood - I got good ears. You can imagine that this adds to the restlessness and trouble to focus that is already inherent with ADHD. I have learned to cope in my more than 30 years of life, but even with medication, it is highly dependant on daily form. And I imagine anyone who'd be dropped into my body even for a few hours would end up a quivering mess - like I was as a kid when I was unable to even focus on playing with toys while in the hospital for dosage adjustment, and having my medication reduced for a few days (standard procedure, to let the doctors get a general idea how the kid is without medication) - normally this is done for a week, but they decided it was enough after not even two days.
Anyway, I always hear the blood rushing in my ears when lying in bed and no other strong sounds are there, similar to how you'd hear it when you hold your ear to a seashell (the "ocean" is actually just your blood rushing), and that's how I quickly identified it as a kid. I also hear the ventilation unit in the bathroom humming (and we have thick stone walls).
Someone once compared it to first generation hearing devices. They just amplified all noises, so someone with hearing problems would only really have a use for it in quiet environments with no background sounds. In a busy cafe by a road you'd have not much difference to hearing problems, the sounds would be louder but still not better to distinguish, as if you can't hear the voices over the traffic noise, you brain can't do its job either). Modern hearing devices are smarter, and actually filter out certain types of sound, and favors amplifying voices and other things. Some are even programmable, so you could focus on music over just talking people. But I don't have a hearing device, just a crappy brain sector that doesn't do its job filtering.
@@Jaessae you are not alone. I struggle with trying to explain to people that although I can hear them I just can't hear what they're saying if there's any other noise around. The headaches from hearing everything all at once all the time are exhausting.
I’m sooo pleased you included in your analysis someone who can feel the hum rather than hear it. Myself, as well as my children & nephew can hear frequencies that most people cannot. For many of the frequencies that I cannot hear, I can feel them instead. They can cause strong feelings of agitation, dizziness and chest tightness. Many stores & shopping centers put off this or similar frequency. My children cannot be in an electric car without crying about the high pitch sounds they hear. Imagine people driving electric cars with their babies in the back screaming and unable to tell their parents it’s the piercing sounds that’s causing their distress! Thank you for putting out this video! ❤
Oh jeez sounds terrible honestly. Hate that you have to put up with that and this may be the only time I'm grateful I don't have super hearing or anything lol
Oh man, if you're experiencing this particularly in/around stores and shopping centers, I can tell you exactly what's causing it. There's something called Ultrasonic cross-device tracking that uses ultra high frequency audio signals to transmit data, and is commonly emitted from beacons in shops and malls, which can then be picked up by the mic on your cellphone and is used to build profiles of consumer behavior based on location and other factors.

This explains so much for me... I always need to hear something else, I hate that silence is rarely silent. I have high anxiety and am a very light sleeper who needs brown noise or rain sounds to distract me to sleep. It feels louder sometimes, then my ears pop... I can hear it. One time, I took a hike, and there was a small area on the mountain that had a pond and was surrounded by trees and was like a big indent where it blocked a LOT of sound to the point that I could only hear the wind. It was the most peaceful and relaxed I've been. I honestly thought everyone heard this stuff...
It’s the Morlocks! Working their underground machinery and their travelling didgeridoo Circus.
Have you ever seen the film Frog dreaming? About a monster in a remote pond? A child’s film like the goonies and stand by me. It’s awesome.
I mean I hear a constant hum but I'm surrounded by so much like heating other houses and flats and tech etc etc that it's never truly silent. Found out a hum that would stop me sleeping was the dehumidifier being left on all night in the flat below. There was construction outside for ages so thought it was that but then it didn't go away when that was finished. Now I've got a fridge or something above me and the fire alarm system directly behind my head when I sleep, I can hear that humming, was concerned there was an electrical fault or something. After a while if I can sleep OK I just give up tbh, everything makes so much noise I don't know how you'd avoid it all unless you live in the middle of nowhere without electricity
I need to go there. Where is it, please.
13:20 This is when I realized my family (parents are medical) would discourage the use of ibuprofen unless sick. We would usually use naproxen sodium instead.
it is so, so wonderful to see so many people talking about the hum. it gets old telling people that i lose entire days of my life to a sound i "hear" in my neck vertibrae...
How do you lose days? Just asking. I have rather bad tinnitus, but it's never caused me to lose days.
Maybe you’re hearing spinal fluid. It’s like a short trickle.

I’m so glad to hear that I’m not alone. I have lived in Sumter, South Carolina for about 5 years. For the past several years I have been hearing this low bass sound at night. I have been under the impression it was coming from the local Air Force base (less likely) or a manufacturing facility (my best guess). When it’s bad, I will use a fan to drown out the noise or keep my tv on as a distraction. It’s unbearable when it’s bad. I’ve never heard it until I moved to South Carolina. And I’ve lived in many parts of the country.
Hello , I'm just a few counties away from you except I've lived here in South Carolina all my life and I've never heard the hum until about a year ago and yet at times it can be extremely intense as it was accompanied with a migraine then I will hear it and think to myself that its digging underground or im just batshit crazy
I am so sorry for your experience. I lose my mind when I hear-feel bass from a truck parked in a driveway near my house. I cannot imagine what you must go through. I'm in Darlington County, SC. ♥
Have you ever tried using noise cancelling headphones or AirPods? I am wondering if this would work in your situation? I wish you the best!
Hey it's most likely Tinnitus! I heard a weird low hum this morning, along with my typical high pitched frequency i have being plagued with for 7 years. I drank a beer and it went away. But I was hungover so that's when my tinnitus is at it's worse. I just recently starting taking CORDYCEPS mushrooms and It took 99% of the tinnitus away!
I am a speaker builder hobbyist and musician. Very recently, i was measuring the response of a small driver, and got a reading on low bass tones, that the driver was not producing. I turned off all the equipment. My sound level meter read 62dB of a sound I could not hear. I switched to A weight response (rolls off its response to bass) no reading, so I knew the source was in the sub-bass range. (as opposed to ultrasonic above my hearing range) The meter fluctuated some as I moved about the room, normal modal peaks and nulls in any room. I can hear to 25 cycles, but could not hear nor feel anything. After a short time later, the mysterious "hum" stopped humming, and I then resumed my driver measurement.
Could have been plumbers next door? Well pump 80ft below the surface?
Oh apparently some rocky landscape is capable of transferring noise over a couple blocks away. Do you happen to live in North Texas?
I know you wrote that in English but it was Chinese to me. I feel like I need to go back to school.
Yo Science!

Fascinating! I hear low hums that no one in family hears. I'm not sensitive to noise than they are. It causes me a lot of stress. We moved away from a city and it's helped immensely. I'm still sensitive to noise but it's not as bothersome.
I don't have autism or any type of processing issue. I didn't have this sensitivity until I was pregnant with my second child in 2020.
I live near the US/Canada border, with a lot of train traffic. The track leading to the tunnel to Canada runs at the rear of my property, 1/2 mile away. When I first moved here I'd feel this low frequency from the diesel/electric locomotives idling. Once I discovered the (plausible) source it no longer bothered me. I can't imagine how nerve wracking it would be to have this happening and not be able to pin down the source.
Luv the wu wu wuu wuuuu wuuuu wuuuu low frequency rumble of a fully-loaded diesel electric locomotive. Used to enjoy the tugboats rumble on the Ohio, uphill 6 miles away.

I feel like this is my entire life as an autistic person lol. There are hums everywhere. I've been hearing a loud one since I was a kid, sometimes every night for months at a time. I kind of assumed it was a low bassy plane because it would only last for maybe 15 seconds at a time, until I was standing outside one night and it happened and there was nothing in the sky. My brother said it was earth's plates shifting so I just went along with that.
yeah me too. I hear a lot of humming noises but sometimes I am able to follow them to a source, which is almost always something with electricity
Neurodivergence has a significant influence on how auditory perceptions are processed. Most people just filter out tons of background noises, like the noise of traffic or crowds in public or the buzzing of mild tinnitus. For people with Autism or ADHD there is a pretty good chance that the brain simply doesn't do that, at least not all the time. You just hear EVERYTHING, wether you want it or not.
UGH SAME AND I HATE IT
I assume there are just background noises and resonances which some people are aware of and some aren't.

My ASD presents with a strong sensory processing disorder. I wear earplugs to go to the bathroom or outside and to sleep. I cannot imagine the horror the people hearing this sound have and are living with. Thanks for all the effort you put into this video and I echo your sentiments regarding getting help. We all need peace of mind to function.
I'd love to wear earplugs but unfortunately my neighbor almost burned the house down and a drunk lady came up on my back porch and was banging on the window (2 different events) so I no longer get to sleep soundly. For the rest of my life.
I'm not in the spectrum but have a strong sensory processing disorder(mostly I can hear a lot, and cannot ignore any sound, so mostly live my life in the night that is quieter, still hear electric hum tho)... and I think I have hear this a couple of times but not sure if really was this o was a car or something very far away but I mostly hear the electric hum and sometimes some super high pitch sound like tinnitus but often are caused by gas from the stove or some gas/liquid escaping somewhere near me (I'm the only that hear them :/) -- btw don't using earplugs disorient you or cause discomfort? do you hear anything or they just dampen the sound, I could use some less ambient noise in my life but not hearing make me anxious (my heartbeat, blood pressure, breathing, the rustling of my clothes sounds too loud if not hearing anything else, so back to square 1, I tried using hearing protection but that block most of sound and pressure, so any tip?)
Adhd here with similar problems. It drove me insane back in the day man. Parents also couldn't hear it so they dismissed it. It was one of the most infuriating thing from that time period.
Same. Have to use Earplugs to live my life now.
I don't hear this myself, but my grandmother has complained about this for years. She wants to put her house on sale just because of it. Glad that there are still people looking into it.
