This platform sucks
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?
But will Venus contact us? Because that's the best -porn name- OnlyFans name I've heard in ages! 😁
@@antlures845 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 .
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.
I truly hate people who just automatically dismiss what others are experiencing because they aren’t experiencing it.
TRUTH
"I'm not hungry, therefor no one is starving." Typical human self-absorption.
Yes!! 👍🏼
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 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.
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.
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
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
🤯🤯🤯‼️
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.
This might get buried somewhere, but when I was once in a long distance relationship, my at the time partner was in another part of the world, (6 hour flight) from me, and while on a video call. they stopped talking and opened their window. It was night time for them and they said they could hear an extremely low humming sound, almost like a baritone, but they could not originate the sound. Having experienced 'The Hum' multiple times in my life since a small child, I was curious and opened my window as well. And I am getting chills typing this, but I heard it as well! It was haunting and exciting at the same time, to not only hear it, but for someone else hundres of miles away ti hear it at the exact same time as I. And just when things couldn't get any weirder, as soon as it stopped for me, it stopped for them too.
Truly one of the weirdest experiences I've had with 'The Hum'.
Yeah, I'm not so quick to dismiss the possibility that there is some earth-sized/wide phenomenon that is responsible for some of this. I think in totality it's a combination of things. But one of those thing may very well be the ionosphere or the ozone layer or if not the jet stream then the magma stream, if that's a thing. Who knows.
Glad I don't hear it or just aren't as sensitive as I've spent quite a bit of time trying to get my fridge & furnace to shut the heck up. This past winter I heard a rumble in my office that was making me crazy, turns out it was a tiny table fan upstairs that made zero noise in that room. And there's a grain elevator about a quarter mile away that runs in the summer/fall I'd be happy if it vaporized, but it's only a mild annoyance and more white noise/faint whine than rumble. Can absolutely believe if the sound is inescapable, of a particular frequency/dissonance (my furnace is sub-bass, but a fairly pure tone) it could make people miserable and ill.
@@barcodenosebleed5485 maybe tectonic plates moving
You didn't give the physical location for obvious reasons, but is there a gas pipeline or set of pipelines between you and your former partner's locations?
If you google the venturi effect, then you realise that various flows interact with each others in strange ways. If you are very far apart, then it would be atmospheric or seismic. Possibly northern lights? I used to live 500 meters from a major power line (115 KV 50HZ AC) and whenever there were ionisation in the upper atmosphere (northern lights) it made the power lines sing like playing a saw, or a Theremin, combined with the sound glass makes the second before it shatters. Any high voltage power line or train/tram overhead power cable would sing along with the sound of the air. I never found out if it was magnetic interference alone or vibrations in the air that was the reason.
@@paulstejskal My at the time partner was living on an island at the time, and I was in continental in a rural town away from any major faults or tectonic plates, no fracking or major gas lines either. Really odd
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.
@@larrylayton4873 are you talking about narcan by chance?
@@larrylayton4873 na bro, that's the constant drumming of rightie politicians pumping misinformation into your brain.
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.
One reason people disagree so much about where the sound "comes" from is because very low frequency sounds are less directional. It's much harder to pick out where sub-bass sounds come from, and in music production they're always described as "more felt than heard". What that means is, those particular descriptions don't narrow things down and help point to an answer. That's how all sounds from all sources would behave. This is a fascinating video and I think we all at least know someone we take seriously who has experienced this. I'm a believer, of not a hearer
mithramusic5909, could subwoofers and surround sound devices cause this 'felt' sound?
Fun fact about Infrasound. I'm a retired recording engineer and was attending an industry show at Earls Court Exhibition Centre for audio professionals.
Like you do, I got chatting to a chap who was looking at flyable directional bass drivers (flyable meaning that they hang from the ceiling of auditoria).
He was the live sound engineer for the Grateful Dead. He said that he uses Infrasound on the audience before the gig, while they are waiting for the gig to start.
He said that sending 13 Hz through the sound system he can put people on edge, 9Hz can make girls excited (I probably have the frequencies miss remembered but). He used infrasound to impart physical sensations on the audience. I seem to remember that 7hz is the resonant frequency of the human body.
So infrasound has direct emotional responses on people.
The Mythbusters did an episode on this, I forget what season or what the episode was actually called, but they went out to a deserted/abandoned campground in the middle of nowhere that had cabins. IIRC they had 4 cabins that they would put people in, possibly blindfolded (can't remember), and like 2 or 3 of the cabins were rigged up with subwoofers producing infrasound at different frequencies (your sentence about 13 Hz reminded me of this) and people did say that they got an eerie feeling in the one with 13 Hz.
I can literally hear someone turning on any electronic within my house.i am extremely sensitive to emf low high all of them...drives me mad, I ground a lot though, I try insulating all my wires extra with foil and shrink tubing. I use copper mesh around my breaker box and use eathernet cords for any internet devices. What's weird is though I hear these electronics, im hard of hearing and have almost no regular hearing in my left ear after my kickboxing years. So ita odd, I can't hear someone talking to me 5 ft away if I'm doing dishes or a dryer fan or something like that running. But I can hear ya turn on your galaxy tablet 3 rooms away.
It’s not really direct emotional responses to the sound, is the vibrations the sound causes. The bodily feeling not the auditory sensation. (yes I know sound is vibrations)
Frequencies impact everything - inside & out, literally. There's interesting info that was online about 10 yrs ago called The 1968 Frequency Tests, or something like that. They charted/graphed experiments noting stuff physiologically impacting ... from moveing a chickens' wing to feelings of even org.g@zm - using freqs. Long ago freq machines were marketed which actually helped heal. I saw one an elderly man had - noting that i could dial in the freq for Warts, even😄)
I view it as Tesla tech. Freq patents are fascinating to check out.
You friend knew what he was doing, hahhahaha
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.
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.
@@amg9163 me too I was fully expecting him to be one
It's so nice when we can just sort things out between each other, without getting our backs up.
Should have go e to him first and not wasted time on authorities. It's much more respectful to your neighbour to give first refusal
you can use this sounds in movie theater to make people feel anxious and stressed at certain scenes. This reminds me to what people means by saying "you haven't watched the movie if you didn't saw it on theater", probably because they used techniques like this to give a plus to the experience that is hard to replicate outside.
yeah. Thats where the thougts could get a bit wilder. Like theres a anxiety causing sound not percieved by the majority of the people?
Back in the 1960s, my little brother and I would head to the bus stop for school in the morning in which we always heard a neighborhood hum. In fact, all of us children heard "the hum", and we called this sound "the Bees" for its beehive sound. Only decades later did I find out the source of the hum. It came from Westlake landfill only a short distance away. I have moved well away from that area now, and I am experiencing a new hum in which my body is buzzing and I can hear it almost every hour of the day and night. It has taken years for me to know the cause of this awful humming and buzzing. I vibrate like an electric toothbrush. But I suffer from severe hyper stimulation of the nervous system. This condition is caused by stress and not by an environmental phenomenon. I cannot say this is what other people are experiencing, but it may be good to look into hyperstimulation as a possibility since the nervous system itself can present some really bizarre symptoms when overly stressed including humming, buzzing, and tinnitus that can last a very long time.
I know this will sound absolutely insane but, because of the vibration you feel in your body, I would be fascinated if you were to practice out of body/astro projection. In the research for it, they say it's starts from the toes up, this intense vibration that separates you from, well, you. Of course there's things to do before it but that's the indicator that something is happening. I wonder if there's anything else in your life that has been spooky or maybe you've had extra "feelings" that helped you in some way. Things like that. Anything weird or strange that occurs around you?
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’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.
I was just coming to say that. 🎉@@luf.7648
I have Ménière’s disease,and I have ringing and hissing in my ears (mostly the left ear) constantly. 24 hours a day…7 days a week. When it first hit me,my wife would drive me to the hospital just so I could get shot up with Demerol or Ativan to calm down from the INTENSE PANIC ATTACKS! I haven’t slept without the television on for over a decade now. Sometimes I take 3 or 4 showers a day because the sound of the water masks the humming and hissing I hear. I wouldn’t wish this on ANYONE…at first it almost made me insane,but now I’m learning to cope with it.
Know what you are going through I have had the same problem with tinnitus since 1988, not much help in the uk just get told to try and ignore it we can only help ourselves
If the sound of running water (showers / rain / baths filling up etc) help you to cope, look up "bath filling sounds" or "white noise" right here on youtube, there are lots of videos available with these sounds. I have a few on my own channel which a lot of people use to help them sleep, so maybe they will help you.
Damn that tinnitus thing drives me mad. Especially when im exhausted after any sort of physical activity. Me too can't sleep without any other sound source but i've always think of it my z generation mind can't goes on without constant entertainment but supressing tinnitus makes more sense i guess

I took a ride on a hydrofoil boat while vacationing in Greece. The engine made a very loud low hum. Everyone could hear it. After a short while I began to feel increasingly nauseous. It wasn't seasickness. It was definitely from the hum. It made me feel generally weak. Other people, including my travel companion, were not affected.
My symptoms resolved shortly after disembarking. I think I understand what Kryptonite does to Superman.
"do you hear this sound?"
my subwoofer: "let me play you the song of my people"
🤣
No one heard that but you.

It's a joy to have a sound system that can reproduce 30 Hz fundamentals!
I love it!
@@MATTINCALI Did you not hear 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?
It’s the Morlocks! Working their underground machinery.

I knew a very young girl whose entire family struggled trough ansiety after a telco installed a communication tower near their house. She felt uncomfortable and reporting hearing a madness driving sound. Nobody listened to her. She took her life. Telco tower was dismantled immediately afterwards. This is an actual problem, hard to verify on field, affecting the most sensitive people. No evidence was found, obviously. 😢

Used to hear it a lot in Puyallup Washington, it freaked me out and my older sister could hear it too but she used it to mess with me and say "You hear that? That's the world dying".
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.
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?
@@LetsGoBrandon1234 Because people who hear it are more prone to researching, watching videos related to and commenting about it.
I moved to get away from the worst it ever was and the first night I got my key I entered a newly built apartment, shut the door, took a deep breath and..... dropped to the floor sobbing because There It Was. Now I begin my day with noise canceling headphones and sometimes have to wear them to sleep.
I'm sorry you're still dealing with it! When I moved to the west coast of lower michigan, I thought I was hearing a hum from a local industrial operation. Then I moved to a neighboring county, and still heard it. I've kinda acclimated to it, but not totally.
From my trying to learn about it, best I can tell I'm hearing my back/neck/head resonating from a much lower tone ( 0.5hz?). I get some relief from keeping my neck stretched, and if it gets bad I'll go see a chiropractor for an adjustment, which makes a noticeable decrease in the sound. I'll also change around which way I'm laying when I sleep, and that seems to help. I've also had some relief from the stress of it by trying to understand where it's coming from (in my situation, it seems to be air moving across Lake Michigan when the weather temp is changing)
Overall though, I'm definitely more aware of low frequencies now, and I do hear this occasionally when I go back to places I lived before becoming aware of it here. I hadn't thought much lately about the stress aspect of it, but getting emotional when I heard the intro to this video, looks like I've got more going on than i realized :/
Anyhow, I'm glad the headphones are helping - I need to try that. For your situation, maybe when it's the loudest you could wander through your apartment building and see if it's quieter in other sides of the building? Your landlord might be cool with letting you go listen for it in empty apartments, so you could maybe switch to one with less of a hum? Whatever happens, hope it goes well!
Did you hear the hum when moving from the original place to the new one? If you heard it the whole time it could be like a tumor or something in your head causing a hallucinatory hum like mentioned in the video, in which case I'd get a head scan. If you didn't hear the hum on the journey but only when you arrived then yeah perhaps you had the bad luck of finding two spots with hums in them. I'm really sorry for your situation. Like he said it seems each situation can be unique and different so you might have to be your own detective.
Not to be a downer but on the subject of noise-cancelling headphones or ear-plugs but,
There's recent articles on the possible changes/harms in the brain of using noise-cancelling headphones for quietness. Here's a quote from a Guardian article:
"But when it comes to noise reduction, too much of a good thing also has its downsides. Multiple studies have shown that constant earplug wearing, day and night, over just one week is enough to result in new-onset tinnitus. In one experiment, the tinnitus people developed was “perceived predominantly as high-pitched”, corresponding to the frequency range the earplugs were blocking."
“If you stop putting sound into your ears … your brain overcompensates by turning up its internal gain,” McAlpine says. “It completely alters your neural pathways - we know this. Monkeying around with the sound energy going into your ears is monkeying around with what your brain evolved to be doing.”
Basically if you take away all sound (noise-cancelling headphones) your brain starts scrambling to hear things, anything, by turning up it's "gain" or listening volume in your brain, and who knows what that can do. Just a sign to maybe keep the noise-cancelling headphones to an as-needed basis.
Anyway I hope the best for you. Hopefully the other reply helps, like I said be a detective and think of when/where it started, did it start at this level or slowly get worse, did it get better or worse due to different things (stress, emotions, diet), look at local maps of nearby underground pipelines or large industrial plants. Some soils can make the sound from those plants travel very far especially low frequencies. And check local forums to see if anyone else has experienced this. Also did you travel a significant distance from your original location?
Pray for your channel to grow. This was very helpful.
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
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.

Old freezers are my worst enemy. Only when they stop do you realise how loud they actually are.
"Old" TV's were my problem, I could hear that shit's frequency(I guess) literally from one end of a football field to another if not further.
@@4Everlast yeah, that too.
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.
That's the 60 cycle hum that often comes through the TV's speaker. @@4Everlast
@@Lethgar_Smith Drove me nutz. Nobody heard it, i couldn't not hear it.
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.
Last week, I asked my room mate if he could "feel" this. Since I lived in this apartment, there are times I hear a vibration, and can feel it. He said "no", and didn't get it. But it's been real for me for the past 5 years since I moved here, and he's just moved in last year. Glad to read your comment. Your husband and I had this in common. And yeah, I hear you. You loved him a lot, right? No need for tears, a big hug coming your way! Thank your for your comment, I don't feel so crazy. Love & light to you, from Canada. xx

I’ve been hearing it for about 7 years. I now have that low rumble and a high pitch ringing going on 24/7.
bloody detailed and no nonsense, i always sub to channels i bump into like this, a lot of work went into the video
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 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.
You Rock this is a fantastic video! Good everything thanks for making this. Congratulations well done.
I have visual snow. Opticians never took me serious for 2 decades. But finally there are studies coming out. I can kinda understand these people that hear the hum. It’s horrible to not be taken serious and people thinking you’re crazy.
“It was as if the sound was a higher harmonic of what was vibrating our chests.”
NAILED IT.
I reckon it's mining tunnels for DUMBs. See @ElfAzzid's comments
Yeah it's so deep and feels like it's coming from you
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.
Its a military/uaf weapon an experiment against humans, it listens, its insidious
How do you know when is love? 🤣🤣🤣
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.
Great content, this video and your research is a genuine hum dinger!
Benn you are such a cool dude, I’ve got nothing but love for you. You make such good music too, thank you!
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%
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.
Some people hear it from hearing damage,
I never herd it for the first 25 years of my life now i hear a low bass buzzing hum everyday for the past 2 years most noticable at night
Good editing and love the interview re Taos hum.
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

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.

A fascinating phenomenon, well presented and very interesting. Thanks.
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.
I was tortured by this for almost ten years, it faded out during the pandemic and has since not returned. I am grateful but I have absolutely no idea why
Has to be some company that shut down from covid and never returned.
My neighbors had a noisy pool filter motor. It took me years to nail it down, finally walked around the area at night. I wrote them a note and they very quickly replied that they were planning on fixing it because thoer kids heard it when visiting but they were Almost deaf so they never heard it. Kept ne awake all night for years. It was extremely kind of them to fix that grating noise!
I feel like you may be onto something with this theory. I didn't know I had Covid until one day when I was cooking dinner I discovered I had completely lost my sense of smell (temporarily thank goodness but long enough to where I worried if I had lost it permanently). Maybe Covid affected your sensory perception in such a way to where it isn't "coming in as loud" like an adjustment of your "mental radio's tuning dial".
Just a thought. Glad to hear you were able to move past it especially since it was negatively impacting your mental health.
Over the ten or so years I moved house a number of times, whatever it was was with me wherever I went so wasn't a local source, of anything it was an internal factor though it definitely felt as though it came from outside, it was very disturbing and also caused insomnia, nausea, anxiety etc it felt like I was able to perceive a standing wave of some kind of external energy in the air. Sometimes it would disappear for a week sometimes a few weeks but it would often return even more intense.
Car tires on highways and streets make a rumbling noise. Might travel a long way via earth. Less cars, less noise?

Thanks for sharing! I remember the original show that introduced the Taos Hum, as I was raised in Santa Fe!
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.

While we're on the subject of frequencies... I was at a wedding reception and myself with 3 other friends of mine went outside to smoke some cigars. We sat at a table and my one friends got out the cigars and cutters. He put a rocks glass underneath where he was cutting to catch the ends that fell of, as not to dirty the table. He snips the first one, goes fine. Snips the second and at the end of the slice sound the rocks glass pops apart! Pieces of glass actually landing away from the glass rather than inside it. We were stunned. Lots of wtf's being distrubuted. Many questions being asked until I landed on the idea that it was the frequency of the cigar cutters. With nobody to confirm this, it's my best hypothesis and one of my most memorable mysteries.

These are the sounds of the equipment of the Elite Consortium as they tunnel subterranean spaces in which they plan to survive the Last Great War.
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.
@@MitchellTheMitch 1:30 and again towards the end of the video
On so many fronts this video is amazing... So many fronts. For many... many reasons you have my unwavering support.
didn't realize this was as wide spread or troublesome to some as it was, ive noticed the hum in some areas of my house before but never thought about it much more than a passing oddity.
As someone with a central nervous system injury, that the doctors are having a difficult time understanding because there’s no research into it, I appreciate how sincerely and empathetically you researched and spoke about this phenomenon.
My guess or answer on this is that we are not looking far enough outward to understand the source of the sound. We need to go into space to hear it. Well not hear it actually. It turns out as we learn more about space the more we learn about ourselves. In this example, I unfortunately do not reacall the name. But it turns out humanity does very terrible if we leave our little spinning floating rock. Our bodies cannot survive healthily without bacteria in body from earth and relating to his video, an acoustic hum of our planet. Which we cannot hear. There is also magnetics in our body that also plays into this as well though that is another topic. Anyway, where Im going with this is that every planet emits a sound or humming through space. We cannot hear this sound though special instruments in space can detect it. Perhaps the sound/hum people are hearing is the one our planet emits? Also maybe the sound is coming from a nearby planet or moon that people are picking up. Maybe the magnetics of the moon moving a certain way pulling gravity is something people hear from the fluids near their ear.
There are many things outside our planet that could be a the source. Maybe if these people could hear the sounds from space or our planet to see if the sound is similar. It could also be a sound amplified from being inside a box aka a house or room acting as an echo chamber. Where the sound is coming from below resonating.
Lastly, either geo location or particular medical condition altering the human body are enabling people to hear this hum. I could hear the example hum from the video intro thanks to my nice high frequency headset I wear. If that is an accurate sound or not I do not know. What I do know is that we need to find the commonalities from this data for comparison.
TLDR my guess is that the hum relates to the unique hum created by earth itself and perhaps geo locations amplifying it combined with medical conditions adjusting the human body to more easily hear the sound. Where an average human would have the evolution to not hear any longer.
i think alot of times it is something like this. theyve had issues with factories and airports that were causing noises and vibrations far far away. i do think its possibly planet related as well. the planets huge and so is space. it definitely makes noise.
tectonic plates make noise but not that we can hear. unless?? maybe somepeople are different and can hear levels the average person doesn't detect.
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”😭😭😭
@@jebsmith323 thanks for bringing that up (experiencing ringing ears even while deaf). I wondered about that. That must SUCK.
Great work, Awsome documentary. Chapeaut bas.
Thank you for bringing this to light. (to our ears?? :) I have at times experienced this hum in a lowly inhabited valley in Umbria, Italy. (no nearby industry) My husband heard it 2 years before I did.
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.
I experience the hum (the only best way to describe it). It's like the floor of my apartment is vibrating. I'm wondering now,. if it's related to the transmission towers for all the local TV/radio stations are located less than 1 km away. I've never had this hum before, but have lived in this section of town for 5 years, and the hum is present since I moved here.
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??
This video is so well made.
Absolutely brilliannt documentary very sympathetic and honest
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.
@@peetsnort Yep i know what you mean .
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

Great work here. well done! 👍
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.

@@shitinsideyou what are you talking about?

It’s so horrible when people, especially doctors and researchers dismiss people’s accounts out of hand.
Happens so often. I went to the doctor some years ago because I was having chronic back pain. Pinched nerve. Doctor said, well you have a lot of stress at work, have you tried mindfullness.
What I really needed was a couple good massages and some physical exercise. Moved closer to the beach and started swimming regularly. Barely any back problems since. Sometimes that nerve still hurts when I go for a run and its cold and windy. But other than that no problems. Screw that doctor.
Psychosomatic symptoms are a very real thing. A medical professional who suggests that a symptom is psychosomatic is not dismissing it.
@@runstarhomer2754 but they are probably dismissing a real problem that they can't be arsed to investigate.
@@runstarhomer2754it is when they don’t offer you any way to relieve your suffering.
I really appreciate your humanistic and empathetic approach to this. So often science and engineering both ignore the human experience in their endeavours.
Woah, the sound actually had an immediate effect on me. Even just listening to it for a singular second, I started breathing faster, my heart beat faster, I felt empty, my head hurt, and I felt nauseated. I can truly understand how people leave their house or kill themselves because of it. I can't imagine how it would feel listening to it constantly.
Edit: I literally just watched the video further and found out the effects of it.
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! 👋🇨🇦
That is so sad that her kids never went to visit her. Poor dear was probably so lonely. 😢
That’s very sad, shame on her children.
@@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'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

* Gargamelle bubble chamber: Became operational in 1970, this detector was used in neutrino physics experiments.
* Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR): Completed in 1971, these rings allowed for head-on collisions between particles.
I have heard the noise in Orlando, FL, and nowhere else I have lived throughout my life. When I was hearing it, it was easily for months, but I didn't note when I was hearing it or for how long. I do have weird ear issues - not tinnitus but sinus issues that causes auditory anxiety. When I heard the sound, I checked the weather, via accuweather, and the map showed "General Thunder" so I assumed it was the weather. I don't have a pipeline near me, and I think my dog can hear it when it's not quite loud enough for me to hear - she has storm related anxiety and it triggers her. Thank you for the excellent video!
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.
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 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.

Power transmission wires and fluorescent lamp ballasts give off "60 cycle hum" that can be annoying to some people
I don't comment on videos, but I wanted to share this. When induction cooktops were first being introduced I was at the mall with my wife. We were looking to grab a bite to eat when out of nowhere I felt more then heard a humming noise not in my chest but my head, It felt like it was coming from inside my head and I went nuts I was hitting my head clawing at my ears trying to get the noise out. Then it just stopped. I regained my composure and was asking my wife if she felt that, she said no. We then started looking for food again, then the noise started again I just about fell to my knees it was so overwhelming. And just like that it went away, we continued looking for food and it happened again. I started walking around asking people if they could hear the noise. It started to get louder as I was getting closer to a noodle place I don't remember what it was called. I asked the person if he could hear that noise he said what are you talking about, I said it is in my brain and I needed it out. He stopped cooking to come over to see me and turned off the cook top. And the noise stopped. I asked him about it and he said they just got new induction cook top. To this day I can still feel the hum in my head when someone is using an induction cooktop but it is not as penetrating, it's more of an annoyance that I can feel inside my brain but it's not overpowering to me.
Thanks for sharing this, I found it very fascinating. Hope you’re able to avoid it nowadays
I can relate to that. I had an overwhelming period of time within my life with increased stress, anxiety and nervousness. First it got me hearing sounds similar to a bath foam. After about 2-3weeks I got an entirely different sensation. A massive piercing high pitched sound, heavily loud. Which of course was only in my skull, no one could hear that. And I heard it only when my mother used that induction cook top, entering a store with security gates and walking by refrigerators.
It stopped after about 4-5days. But I became calmer as well. So it’s kinda psycho-somatic.
In regards to the bath foam sounds - I’ve been to a laryngologist, and he found nothing.
Induction. Remotes. Devices. Fridges.
I recently got an induction cooktop, and depending on the pan I use it will make my skull sing with this awful screeching sensation, so I believe I know what you are talking about.
Well I am glad I don't have an induction cooktop, but that's because I have a cardiac pacemaker so they're not recommended. I do have a very old heavyweight saucepan that rings like a deep sounding bell. I love to dong it.😊😅
I cannot believe you captured a recording of it. Even just from my phone speakers it made my eyes water and my nose twitch 😅
I have never heard about this, omg what, thankyou for making this video
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 CZcams 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.
It happened to me. No pipelines near 100s of miles from where I live.
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! 👍😎✌🗽
@Feverm00n Maybe there is another entrance to the Black Lodge there. 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆☕️🍰
This guy knows so much stuff about this sound I’ve never heard.
That clip of the guy bragging about how he heard the sound because he was unlike a normal person and was RATHER… an engineer.
It’s wild watching this guy go around and seem to hear things in peoples houses.
The strangest thing about this for me is that I grew up with a natural gas line running through the edge of our property and as long as we were further than about 25 feet away, we really couldn’t hear it. I don’t remember being kept up at night. Maybe it’s a subconscious factor in why I felt dread whenever I went back home, among other factors towards the same conclusion.
Thank you for speaking so sympathetically and sensitively about people hearing sounds that others do not hear. As someone with tinnitus and somehow also sensitive hearing, I can say it is maddening to constantly be confronted with "I don't hear anything." If I persist, people do seem to look at me oddly. There is too much confusion between auditory hallucinations (madness) and highly sensitive perception. When others do not perceive things as we do, there is this automatic questioning of what is reality. It is only a short stroll to mental illness from there. So, thank you again for speaking so sincerely and sympathetically about the topic.
This video was interesting. Thank you!
"Reality" to most people, is only what THEY can see, touch, hear, or feel. It doesn't mean other things don't exist. I totally understand what you are saying. 💗
I'm in the same boat as you, tinnitus with insanely sensitive hearing, which I've speculated might be why I have the tinnitus. What makes it extra frustrating is my perception is abnormally good and farther reaching at low and high frequencies than average, but at mid-range, where people speak, my hearing suffers. One plus is my echo-location skills have been practiced enough that I can usually source the noise that is annoying me that others can't hear. Once I have it figured out where it's coming from I can try to make it stop or avoid it.
@@nickadamson6053 I don't want to say I'm happy to know someone else suffers from the same issues, but it is nice to know I'm not alone. I'm in my late 40s and wondering what is going to happen from here. I am already turning my head to hear people better, but I feel like it's a processing issue, not a hearing one. Sound is such a weird thing to get my head around!
I did watch an interesting TEDTalk once by this brain scientist of some sort who was researching tinnitus. It was super interesting what they are finding out. It's not just loud noises but them in conjunction with stress or trauma. Things do not affect people equally. Some portion of sufferers have hearing loss, but most do not. So they think it is possible to stop this overcompensation of people who do not have deafness. Essentially it would be possible to cure tinnitus.
Some day. Maybe. I don't know, but I'm hopeful.
I find that spending time in forested areas allows me peace. I stop hearing it. Living next to a factory with a fan is maddening. I don't recommend it!
Good to hear from someone else out there in the void.... 🙂
@nickadamson6053 EXACTLY!!! I can walk into a noisy restaurant, hear the faint violins over the fracas, name the song playing, yet not be able to understand my someone speaking to me right across the table.
Yes I'm in Illinois I hear it
Guess I'm one of those 50 - can clearly hear the buzzing of electronics since I can remember. Heck, just yesterday I was wondering what was a tinnitus-sounding faint hum I could hear in my mother's room and it was a bedroom lamp
Me to. I am in my 40s but still have very sensitive hearing.
Its annoying most times. But one nice thing is I can hear bats clicking and squeezing sounds as they fly past.
Its also useful to overhear hushed or whipspered conversations haha
I always find it strange people can't hear it. WiFi routers always the worst for me and walking through thr freezer section at my local supermarket
Thats just high pitched coil whine (16k hz+), young people can hear that and some older people with good hearing, this video is more about low sounds
Same. Especially cheap electronics that use rechargeable batteries, they make an unbearable high pitched sound when you plug them to electricity
@bertjedekat I just wonder how we can hear this and not the low hum, but seeing if is one or a few or the theories I assume is we don't live near enough to major gas lines although now I want to research where my local ones are.
I lived out on the backside of Terlingua Ranch and there was a large mining operation in Mexico with a big diesel generator with a failing main bearing. The sound was transmitted through the ground from the generator foundation mount. It was hard to ignore out in the quiet desert at night and the sound was amplified inside metal buildings like mine. A neighbor complained about it and said it was driving him crazy and I explained it was a large mining generator. He said the pitch would suddenly change, and I explained they switched loads in and out during the day and the governor response changed the sound. Finally the bearing failed after a few months and the generator stopped running forever.
