Hello Jenny, Thank you for your feedback, it is helpful to me to know others perceive the sound as I do. I have always been taught that to defeat your...

... Chip: Greeting from a fellow Minnesotan! I first detected the Hum on a BWCAW/Quetico canoe trip. The diesel sound I perceived in a wilderness setting...
Hi Chip, I have read that the Hum sounds louder in close proximity to a lake. It is usually louder indoors. I started hearing it louder again September 21st....
Hi Kallio, I was hoping to hear from someone in Minnesota, especially since it appears to be a hot bed of activity for the Hum. Thanks for your nuggets of...
Ah yes...Bob Marley...really heavy on the bottom end (now I understand!) I know exactly what your talking about picking out individual sounds from a...
Like Kallio, I also first detected my Hum on a Quetico canoe trip (in 2004). I initially thought it was a distant, large prop aircraft, as they were fighting...
Hi Arne, Thanks for sharing your background and geographical information. It's all helpful and enlightening to me. I think I get the gist of your last ...
I am a new member, having found humforum on the weekend, looking for solutions. Most of the recent posts seem to be dealing with locations and possible causes...
My training/education is in atomic/subatomic particles. Macroscopic (i.e. hearing apparatus) is too big for a nuke to understand (small, poor, engineer's...
- or some difference in environment affects the perception. I NEVER hear the hum in large cities, most likely due to background noise. A light rain, wind,...
With the cooler temperatures coming these nights, I have been using an old electric space heater that does an excellent job of blocking the Hum. Its a 1320...
I should add that my space heater has a built-in fan--not just radiant heat. I imagine a small, portable air cleaner should work as well with the added...
Dear New Member from Scotland, I too have had terrible problems sleeping. I have bought an ipod and some small speakers. I then recorded some meditation tapes...
Thank you Chip for the fan suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. I called around and a friend has just delivered a 3 speed electric fan. I'm hoping that the...
I agree wholeheartedly with the city background noise cover theory. I am in a small town right on the Atlantic, with lots of wind and rain, but not the range...
Hi all, I have an iPhone and it has some great apps you can download that are designed to help you fall asleep. This has been my lifesaver! My hum is mostly in...
I've found a fan really helps me, and I have the same problem with sound CDs, etc. too. I've found it's easier to fall asleep if I crack the window, too, so I...
What got me out of desperation mode as far as sleeping is concerned was first, the bathroom fan at night. And second, an ipod, which I wear with ear buds when...
Has anyone in the DFW area started hearing "The Hum" lately? I haven't heard it in this area for several years. Started hearing it yesterday 10/14/08 and sill...
There are some good ideas that I will try, thank you for taking the time to suggest. Last night at the b&b, the friend's fan didn't work out at all... it was a...
thanks for these ideas. There isn't a bathroom fan available, but I will try the ipod. What is a stetzer filter? I googled it, but didn't get a good idea. Did...
Hi Chip, Your description is excellent. My hum is in my left ear no matter which way I turn. The pitch meanders around low A and feels electromagnetic in...
I live in Raleigh, NC but recently bought a house on Kerr Lake near Henderson, NC. I never heard the hum before, but in the house and all over the property...
I'm not going to talk paranormal or supernatural, what I'm hearing is real real real and it's driving me NUTS! I was so glad to find stuff online about it as...
You will NOT get used to this invasive hum. As you've noted, we have all gone to great expense to locate this "killer" hum. Good luck and just keep a white...
Hi, I have recently (about two months ago) started hearing the hum and after alot of digging finally found this forum. It is nice to know that I am not alone...
