I'm not sure it was tinnitus because I only ever heard it in/around the
house. It was so location specific. I recall pulling up onto our drive
after a completely hum-free holiday and turning off the car
engine....immediately I could hear The Hum. Since we have been living
in Wales for the last 9 years I have never heard it.

I don't know what it is but I would not dismiss it out of hand as LF
tinnitus.

I'd say tinnitus would stay pretty constant when you move your head -
whereas something acoustic is likely to change. Nodes and things.



I tend to agree. I've had tinnitus for years, now. It tends to be
constant, except when it changes. However, the changes are abrupt and
independent of my position or any movement. The changes can be
triggered by a yawn or something like that, but it's clear that what I'm
hearing is internal to my head, and not caused by any outside sources.
