So for the longest time I thought I was maybe going crazy because whenever I told the other members of this household that I can hear a deep, dull humming sound, especially at night, they said they can't hear anything and I must be imagining it.
But over the last few weeks this humming sound started to get louder and louder at night. Was it quite subtle at first, it now sounds to me like there's a truck parking in front of the house, with the motor constantly running.
I wandered through the entire house, looking for the source, walked outside at night, listened in the back garden, the front yard... it's just *THERE* and I don't know where it's coming from.
So. Last month I finally decided to google it, thinking I might have a weird disorder or brain problems, idk - but what I found really opened my eyes.
As it turns out, there is indeed this weird phenomenon that people call 'The Hum'.
Not every person can hear/sense it, but apparently more and more people speak out about it during recent years. And it happens all over the world.
During the day it's less noticable, due to all the other noises, but especially in rural areas, during the night, where everything is quiet, it can be heard quite loudly.
Scientists have no concrete answer where the sound is coming from, what's causing it and why only certain people can hear it. It's still quite mysterious.
But for me it is mainly this: Annoying!!
Some nights I cannot sleep because it is so loud and distracting, so I have to wear headphones and put music or audiobooks on, to drown it out.
I even saw newspaper articles about some people who CTB because they couldn't bear the constant sound of The Hum anymore.
Is anyone here able to hear it as well? I wish this sht wouldn't exist, I'm so tired of it.
