You obviously have you mind made up about whatever it was that you were
hearing and that everyone who differs must be a raving nutcase. But....

I had The Hum for years when I lived near Wolverhampton. An LF pulsing sound
that sounded like a large truck parked with its engine running. It started
soon after a large gas main was installed nearby and I could "hear" it in
and close to our house, especially at night. It sounded so real that I would
wonder around the house looking for the source. Nobody else could hear it.

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.


Ever try recording it? That would have settled the matter once and for
all.

And in that case - try recording it on a laptop, with a widely separated set
of stereo mikes. Turn the set in different directions and look at the phase
relation - should indicate direction.

I found a "humming source" that way (transformer house with a resonating
wall). I used a program to display the live stereo phase vector (AFAIR
Cooledit 2000).

BA ZING!

Was that the power line being overloaded by my brain ?


Your brain couldn't overload a AAAA cell.

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

I've had an early Xmas present - next door have had a new boiler fitted so
the hum from the old pump has gone. It was very audible in my kitchen -
their boiler was mounted on the party wall. It's about the only noise I
heard from them - despite them having two young kids - so I just put up
with it, as it was like that when they bought the house.

I was sitting on my bed and rested my head (the temple) on my hand and I

it didn't sound like the tinnitus associated with it.

So, I removed my head from my hand and the sound stopped. Then the penny
dropped, you can get bone conduction hearing.

Sure enough it was the 11W CFL lamp in my bedside light about 2-3 feet
away. If I put my ear up close to it I could hear exactly the same
sound.

Is that curious or what ?

LMAO !

If I haven't sent you it already via one means or another do please check this
kink, no link. Kink is something else I could elaborate on. Many friends have
indulged in it.

Yes, I saw that. Have to send it to two guys at a client over here in
"the colony", both are British and hardcore Manchester United fans.

No, I didn't. It is entirely possible that nothing whatever would have been
recorded. I don't have an explanation. Just that the Tinnitus explanation
doesn't seem to be the answer, in my case.

I'm wondering about direct excitation of the auditory nerves by....something
electromagnetic. This is just speculation, of course. I didn't do any
measurements. Also, this doesn't explain why others could not hear it.

And no, I have never been abducted by aliens and I don't believe that the
Earth is about to be engulfed by a black hole when they get the LHC going
again :-)
