Thread: Have You Heard the Hum?

A couple, or maybe a few, years ago I began hearing a low hum, kind of like a pulsating bass note in my bedroom when I would lie down to go to sleep. It became quite annoying and would make it difficult to fall asleep, and would sometimes wake me out of sleep. This went one for weeks or months and suddenly stopped as abruptly as it had begun.

Months went by and then 'the hum' returned. I had walked around the neighborhood in the morning, in the middle of the night, seeking a possible source. I had asked all of my neighbors in the condo community, my building, adjacent buildings ........ no one heard it but me.

I eliminated electrical transformers, waste water pumping stations, my own blood pressure/heartbeat. Eliminated my tinnutus, which never ceases and manifests as birds furiously chirping. It cannot be heard outside. It is strictly an indoor phenomenon.

It had stopped for a long time, a year or more, and began again maybe a month or two ago. It is not 'on' 24 hours a day, begins at 10:30 or so PM and may or may not continue through the morning. I could still hear it upon waking this morning, but by the time I got back from my walk at 11AM it had stopped.

I googled about it finally and found I am far from alone, and no, I'm not going crazy, at least not yet.

A long, maybe too long article on the phenomenon ........

So the guy made the Deming box and didn't try it?!?!?!

Jimmy, you can weld. Make your own Deming box and get to the bottom of this.

I love my custom fit ear plugs.

They may help with a hum, but do nothing for tinnitus. I have the same " bird/cricket chirp" Jimmy suffers.

Won't help. It is sort of like sitting at a traffic light in a line of cars and someone has one of those sub-woofers with the bass notes that travel through everyone's car. I have ear muff types hearing protectors for shooting and tried them. No luck. If it is bad I turn on a floor fan which sort of drowns it out.

It's a long distance call from your home planet.

The Lord Jesus talks about one of his created beings in his book (Holy Bilbe,KJV) that does things through the air because right now his is the prince of it, and that individual is the Devil. Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. Clarence Larkin a Baptist Pastor from Pennsylvania wrote a book on this subject called "The Spirit World", I have read it and taught on it from cover to cover. I recommend this book to anyone to read, along with the Holy Bible.

We hear the hum,
Yes its real.
Near as I can figure its a compilation of Interstate, plus trains, planes, and motors in general.
Lastly and I went to a therapist because I thought maybe I was going to lose my mind.
He added the hum of lights and their additives affect.
Then came up the topic when the hum becomes a radio sound just below full hearing, commentators, jazz music??
Never can be sure. Get up look around no source.
My only saving grace. Ok I am admitting this. I turn to my wife and ask, "Can you hear that?" Describe what your hearing before I tell you what I am hearing. Everytime she is hearing the same thing. We mainly perceive it at night . while lying in bed. We do notice the absence of it when we go away from civilization.

The humming sound resonates due the the vacuum formed by the lack of solid matter between the right & left auris externa.
