I recall that in an earlier post I mentioned the changing out of the water heater but the humming continued….it was explained to me that it took a bit of time for the new water heater to handle the problem from the old water heater….which seems to be the case…once again I can only say the sound has been gone for awhile and if it returns I will be very very very very dismayed/sad/miserable indeed! Is there a single go to page with all possible causes (or even solutions) listed? Lakotah We take a walk on a gravel road from our home, and both of us can hear the hum for about a half mile around, but, being low frequency, we can’t identify the source, though at times we think we can detect the general direction. I’ve had that problem in another house and it didn’t sound at all like this. Also, others at FERC and congress, but not to successful YET! The same goes for the sub station out by the Lab and we were very close to the PG&E gas line. Update from guest poster #2 & #4…..there are no other entities to have checked out and no one has been able to detect the culprit….the miserable sound has not surged to the high volume it did one Sunday very early in the morning and the day after….it continues at its low hum with absolutely no pattern as to when nor length of time….no pattern as to when it finally is quiet in the house. We’re quarter mile from the water filtration plant on McCormick, and close to the ‘Deep Tunnel’. I believe you meant 2010 started hearing? Truly hope a sound level meter will help clarify this.The more of us to deliver our discoveries to the authorities the better chance something can be done about it. Testing and research have it tied down and it can’t be denied. It is the water pressure which At this point I don’t care about the cause unless it is something I can change, and apparently it is not. I just had my whole A/C and Heating system replaced ( the house needed a new one anyway) and the noise has not stopped. notable and strong articles. Never heard it before or after that trip. At any rate, beleive me, major pipelines run right through the wilderness You’d have to check the NPMS Public Viewer for USA locations of these lines. I suggest contacting your congressman and have them contact our CT Chris Murphy’s office. The hum is also louder in one area of our house. Marc, our noise is still present. Please note, this area is for people to support one another and is not intended to substitute professional health, legal or financial advice. 2. Seismic like low frequency, ground born sound is reasonating your home and inside your parked car. I have gone through testing various possibilities; Electric being the first - switch power off at circuit and still hear it. And he bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smiling. You’ll need a fairly good microphone and a program like Wavosaur or Audacity (both free) to record and edit the sound afterwards to boost volume and cut out the unwanted frequencies……. I have been reading this post. Anyway. So my first find that I’ve told FERC, PHMSA and NTSB incesting San Bruno- 10 months prior to it in Sunnyvale a guy was desperately looking for the Hum and help at his home. You will surely answer in your mind the credibitly of my position (assuming you trust the mapping). That said had to get a new unit because inside and outside were different specs causing the compressor to over work including mold. to my husband. Soemtimes outside. Sandura thought you fell off the earth. That’s my opinion and I’m sure it could be proven with contacting the right authorities and have it tested, but as for me being able to afford or have it tested is out of the question. BUT…Seems to be 60hz or so occasionally oscillating to 120 or so, so electric? As soon as I step outside it disappears. You know I respect what you are doing with all your efforts with research and all, but you know I have a real problem with all that noise being able to travel down miles of “underground” pipes. http://countytimes.com/articles/2012/07/15/business/doc5002bd3edc6df428338851.txt. I’m going to talk to him tomorrow. His wife told me tonight that he has an aquarium. I noticed this started happening appox. Up and down it, all along new or capacisty changed lines. Call your congressman and complain. where? I wear a headset to bed, during the day, while on the computer or tv ears watching tv, or else all I hear is this noise. Trust me, I understand how this phenomenon makes you crazy, almost to the point of tears, but there is help. please call me to discuss further.862-324-0142, I am following teh announcements of the Marcellus gas pipelines, and western Jersey is getting a few more…. Pool water has standing waves from the seismic characteristics. Check teh internet for gas lines, you have a couple big ones running thru your area. listened through the walls and the entire house is humming. As I have no medical problems, what a waste. Admiring the time and effort you put into your blog and Try sitting in your car, windows up, everyhting off- HUMMMMMM. Did you measure it with FFT or something to be sure? Was wondering if this poses any health risk. My house is also on a slab foundation as were all the others and have never had to endure the horrendous droning! I am in CT USA, a Mechanical Engineer and believe research done by consultants and my work proofs out the source here as changes to operations like pressure and capacity, of the hgh pressure natural gas pipeline grids is the hidden solution to the hum and vibrations of floors here. Has anyone ever solved the mystery culprit? I think I dropped you a line elsewhere? Good quality. Yahoo Hum forum had all this stuff going on. Dave take that back, your near Lincolwood, there is a line very close. yet irritating low grade humming/droning sound with no set pattern persists! Do you hear it in squam or meredith. Interestingly I do not hear it in our new workshop that has the same roofline. what is causing this? The humm persisted. It sounds like the pump that pumps the hot water to the radiators. Plenty of BC vicinity reports. Stay in contact, In my area there is only bottle LPG gas available but that hum is there 24-7. They gave no help. Just this damn noise that drives me insane in the winter. In any case to my ear it seems more like a a low frequency electrical type of sound, a two note alternating drone. As far as what is happening physically, I’m no doctor, but I do understand sound. -When an area of high pressure is blocked on my region I cannot hear Wow I am stunned at the responses here. The “hum” started a few months ago, almost directly timed with our drought reaching it’s worst point. Uncle Phil said he’d been hearing the hum for ages and, … Fucking AND! Thanks sounds different than our problem, ours is Low Frequency. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. LV has lines. Thanks in advance. Let me know. It can be heard well in a basement with your ear to the Cement walls. This informs them what they must do to stop the nuisance and of the legal consequences if they do not. The noise cannot be heard outdoors near the water pipe or gas/electric meter, even though both these units are above the wall where the noise is concentrated. only 3 year old water heater changed out….however the older water heater was one with some type of auxillary tank – which evidently is somehow always on the alert for when more hot water is needed which accounts for the almost constant humming……hopefully the miserable humming is actually gone forever and I have not hexed myself by stating it has disappeared! Mediation . Symptoms that can be checked – when the hum is at its loudest turn one of your taps on – the hum may reduce if the pressure lessens in the mains supplying the house – have you noticed any high flow/pressure rates from your taps? Started noticing the hum in the middle of the night a few months ago. Town location is fine. I had a client in my office and he asked, “what is that”. There is soemthing called nodes and anti nodes. Louder at night and I now have to run a fan in the bedroom or have the tv or radio on to drown out the noise. If you are living upstairs, you want to ensure that the floor of your house is soundproofed too. My dog had to go on prozac for 3 months when this started. I can not wait to read far more from you. What generates the electricity, if not nuclear (which I support), clean coal, it’s natual gas (which I support if they admit an fix problems). Hence it is particularly annoying if you wake up at 4 in the morning. The Army uses HARRP. Felt safe when we checked the 3rd house several times, it was quiet. I really am not sure what is causing this? I have also gone through the long list of things to check, in addition to talking to senior transportation engineers regarding the poor condition of nearby (.45 mi.) It started humming in October and now I have a constant loud hum and vibration through the whole house. There are a couple of things here that’s given me some hope. I will tell you that over 500 identificable locations out of thousands have been plotted and there is a direct link to locations to gas lines. There are many reports from the Melbourne and SE Austrial region up to New Castle. Big thumb up for this blog post!.6364 se Mcnary. First in area of Park & Harrison, then near the Mims/T-ville border, then back to Harrison area. Thanks for your write-up. If you like to keep your windows open during the day, I suggest just buying an A.C. instead! I just purchased a home built in 2000 in Las Vegas. Authorities don’t want this out! I don’t know. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/humforum/. Not unusual for only you to hear, 2-5 percent hear low frequency. Not really sure what to do at this point. Unless the gas companies have found a way to disperse the gas at intervals deliberately in sequences like one can do with sound levels from an amplifier, I just don’t think the gas companies are responsible for this noise. What appears going on here in CT USA is the base problemis the lines. I heard it many times again over the 15 years I lived there, but learned to ignore the sound. It was suggested that I have bees in the siding. I thought about those power windmills used for wind hydro. I guess I’m not that lucky. We live near farms too so maybe its a piece of farming equipment? Thanks for your reply. by accident (stumbleupon). Now, I can run the attic fan all night so I don’t have to hear it. But it doesnt seem to be louder on the beach than in my home which doesnt make sense of that theory. For the record the only other place I’ve heard the Hum was recently in my Mother’s house who lives two doors down……I’ve spent an hour or so this morning on a step ladder poking my head into the attic or crawl space to be more precise….The Hum seems to come from nowhere and everywhere….I would start to question my own sanity if I hadn’t managed to actually record the sound into my PC recording studio…. Some manufacturers even sell ordinary coconut oil with virgin label. I am typing from western CT and getting beat up by noise and floor vibration. http://pipeliner.com.au/pipeline_map_of_australia/. Laid head against walls to see if volume increased or felt vibrations- no to both. The noise makes me physically ill and nauseous. As I type this it’s 0312 hours and “the humm” is strong and loud. Suffering with this off and on for years, slightly better in the summer, terrible right now, loud, penetrates all, ear plugs don’t help, the sound is too low. Is there a way for us to meet up for coffee? If possible, would you mind updating your blog with more details? We used to have terrible reception around here. this week I have to raise the volume at it is increasing in volume as well as vibration and duration. They have been exploring possibilities for drainage. Been in contact with AG, DEEP, rep Chris Murphy and Blumenthal, FERC, EPA and they don’t give a shit. If this one doesn’t have a way to expand, perhaps we can open a new thread on this site? Are there any solutions out there (other than moving?) I’ve recorded the sound again so it’s not an illusion. When I bend over and put my head down low, something causes the hum to become more noticeable. I bought a white noise machine which I play really loudly at night, and it helps me get some sleep. I am looking to engage the state university here in CT to bring credibiltity to my work. Very perplexing because I had the water heater guy look at my gas water heater. Wondering where in Northern England you are, I’m in Blyth, NE24 and since I moved house I have this problem, as you say it literally vibrates everything, I get some comfort from earplugs, but ‘feel’ the vibrations through my whole body, driving me insane, very little sleep, can’t think straight. It was consuming our taughts at night and we could not sleep. I play music and have excellent hearing. Many around you do not hear, inside the home heard mainly (and in your parked car as well). I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The anxiety of waiting for a pipe to burst is very high. was at one side of house, now seems to be all over. I am acutally an audiologist and am certain it is not tinnitus. You must have done a new challenging activity and all of our full community might be glad for you. For further help offline, visit our guide to, I live in a terrace house and keep hearing this strand vibrating/humming noise from neighbours house. Oh, I just saw this post. had shorter telomeres. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I live in American Fork, I have been hearing this for the past month. Is the hum louder when you get closer to the chicken plant? What town are you in and I’ll check how close you are tot eh lines. It first began after the power company installed a smart meter on my home. It is worse at night and in the morning. My suffers here in western CT have almost certainly idnetifed teh HP inter/ intra state natural gas lines. The Navy uses low decible sounds for communications which have killed whales and dolphins. Being from CA you should understand how ground born sound waves work. I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account. Our little group in CT theoriezes some of the HUM problems are caused by operational changes of the interstate (intrastate) gas line operations to pump more gas. Steve, it appears you are very determined to find the source of this noise. The odd thing is we checked this house out 3 times before we decided to buy it & never heard any issues. Keep in mind the lines I am invetigating are not the small low pressure lines ditributing gas to homes. As soon as the fan stops blowing, I am left with hummage. Found someone reporting from Hepburn Springs, hearing it there. They have not responded. In fact at time I cam actually feel it moving my eardrum! would like, and thru The particular Coalition Game you have just about the most effective tips for hypnotherapy This could drive a person crazy. I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on some of the subjects you write in relation to here. Landlord willing to let us out of our lease. They don’t care about anyone or anything when it comes to $$$. -Nobody around me (my wife, kids, family, friends colleagues, students Listen and take note of the quality of the sound, what’s it like. I thought I had found the source so I stopped again, but it has since returned twice without having played the game so it’s probably something else. Finding and understanding the source helps,it is a natural human instinct to react to unknown noise sources,primitive survival instinct I guess.We know our cause/enemy and it helps. It's constant. Ive been hearing it for about 2 years now. I do not hear it away from the house and I don;t hear it all the time. I was wondering if it was something to do with radio frequency or some type of electrical current, satalitte frequency? This is a real revelation that teh gov’t doesn’t want to deal with, believe me!!!! It is unbearable. http://acecasinosportsbook.com/, Really you’d spam a board like this? I cant wait to read much more from you. I’m by the Silver Bowl. I have had humming/vibrations since 2005. It is like it is the earth that is vibrating. I have also heard this sound at a friends house (NE63), but otherwise most places are okay. I’ve gotten some good suggestions recently. Here’s the issue, not to stop the development, but force them to admit a problem and deal with it before it harms more peoples health and the source of the sound waves from the lines possibly playing a role in pipeline failures from weld fatigue. I bought a white noise maker, helps somewhat but the vibration still comes thru. We live in central Florida in a one level house, with a poured concrete foundation, block walls, stucco finish, tile roof. It had been going on for about 6 months. Ask away on Google+ Hangout. We are dealking with people that are demonstrating teh max practive of “willful ignorance”. Hope that explains my cryptic note. Just north of us, I’m guessing two miles, the main gas line splits and runs towards the south on both the east and west sides of us. I live in North Central region of CT. Hi Glen. Find a safe spot to park, shut engine off with windows closed and you’ll hear the hum if it exists in that spot. This humming is all over my house and my body feels saturated by it, there is no escaping it, except to leave. Keep in mind that there are other sources as well. Mains pressure would have to be higher to cope with delivery of water to elevated houses. The drone is back!! All the best from the sunny Pyrenees; Scum of the earth…………. These authorities can direct noise offender to stop producing the noise for up to 72 hours. If you are interested in discussing this, you may reach me @dlightme@yahoo.com, regards, Dave. I personally believe that the mucus build up and inflammation in your eustacion tube creates some sort of weird resonance that keep low frequencies humming long after the original source has gone away. Summertime I hardly hear the hum. Yes I have to agree on the huge area these lines feed but these lines are already high pressure and old. where do you hear this. Hi Steve, saw your post of 3/12. As a matter of fact the gas companies weren’t even sure where this line came from or went until they made extensive research. We have the same HUM and vibrotactical sensations on bodyparts. I am typing from western CT and getting beat up by noise and floor vibration.
