Low frequency humming noise middle of the night - hillsborough

[alembic 10]

Quite common across the UK

 

Bristol has one

Maltby has one.

 

One possible explanation is the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with high voltage overhead power lines.

 

These set up standing waves that can cause properties to resonate.

 

At night our ears become far more sensitive so can hear stuff we don't hear during the day.

 

Think of it like turning up the 'gain' on an amplifier.

Any houses nearby with blinds down, condensation, and lights on all night???

 

And a constant pungent smell whenever the owner walks by?

 

Just a thought.

I hear it too . If you look it up it says it comes from waves on the ocean. 

I have experianced this hum of the coast of st ives, but never so far in land. 

It also says only a certain percentage of the population hear it. Its a geographical phenomon.

Gin that really isn’t as far fetched as it sounds . I kept hearing a humming in Hillsborough turned out next door but one was growing weed .Its in a n area with lots of families and professionals so came as a shock . I knew the landlord and told them I could hear a weird noise coming from his rented property .

Drug squad arrived a few hours later . It was in the Star ,he’d got a right factory going on .
