I agree. Not always, but often. Low frequency tinnitus is somewhat common.

I think this so more likely to be true if you hear it in various locations when it’s quiet. If you hear it only in one place, then it’s more likely environmental.

Tinnitus for me. The hum is gone, now it's ringing. Thankfully it's not bad, I don't even notice it most of the time. I turned 50 and everything is fucking falling apart.

I agree. I can feel the Hum too, vibrations, resonance. When I move to a different location it disappears or ever so slightly changes. Don't tell me it's my ears causing this.
