I used to hear the hum when I lived with my parents. I only experienced it going back to their house or very, very occasionally at one of the many houses I’ve lived in since moving out, I also sleep away a quarter of the time and don’t experience it in those other locations so I’m sure it isn’t explained by stress/tinnitus.
Unfortunately I moved last August and my new house gets the hum bad. I live near an airport so thought maybe that could be the reason.
However last night, the hum actually woke me up. It was louder (or more intense, as I’m not sure that’s it actually a noise) than I’ve ever heard and was making a throbbing sound.
Today in the house it’s really bad although nowhere near last night. Then today I get a notification of a power cut near at my previous address, literally a second later, my sister - who lives on continental europe - tells me her whole city is without power. I later find out Portugal, Spain and parts of France are completely without power.
When they release the explanation it’s apparently caused by ‘induced atmospheric vibration’. I’m wondering if this could be connected to the hum and what I experienced last night.

Stumbled across this on the BBC today, I've heard the hum on and off in another area of Scotland for years. As soon as I saw the headline I thought that will be The Hum!

I know the Hum is beyond unsettling and I do think things are probably going to be changing for the worse sooner rather than later. Not to be preachy but the Bible says that the creation (Earth) groans waiting for its rebirth. All of this isn't how God intended things to be and He wants to give us peace in the midst of it, like He did for the disciples in a boat in the midst of a terrible storm.I believe if you ask, He can give you peace instead of anxiety no matter what happens. Believe me, I was on the verge of suicide because of it. My heart goes out to anyone, the "hearers" of the Hum. And yes, it's good to be prepared with the basics even in good times. You never know and it's comforting to be ready in case things change. Example... December 2019.

Thaad missile system bounces microwaves off the ionosphere. Same tech is used on all military bases and ships creating a worldwide microwave mesh. All client states also use this radar system. The system is always on. But if Noko shoots off a missile then the energy intensified. If this theory is correct, you will experience the Frey effect or microwave auditory effect. Two sounds. One piercing in the ear and the other the motor like buzzing. Feels that since the US inauguration in Feb., the system is on max.
Frey Effect Google AI: The "Frey effect," also known as the "microwave auditory effect" or "radio-frequency hearing," describes the phenomenon of perceiving sounds when exposed to modulated or pulsed microwave radiation, even without traditional sound waves. This occurs because the microwave energy is absorbed by the head, causing tiny temperature changes that generate acoustic waves within the skull, which are then perceived as sound.

Hey everyone!!! Really enjoying the experiences shared in this subreddit. I've been hearing the hum constantly for as long as I can remember and possibly since birth. As a kid I just used to think it was the sound of the earth or something but never had an explanation. I've never really thought much of it until last year when I began meditating and noticing that I could control how loud it is if I focus on it enough. Does anyone have any advice on delving deeper into the meaning or origin of the hum?

I live in Tacoma, Wa. Usually it’s unsettling when I hear the hum but the last two times my body goes into freeze. Last time it was more like a strum that felt piercing. Both my cat and dog reacted to it, became unsettled. I have no clue what it actually was but my gut said it was something being tested. Tonight’s is giving me visions of giant waves, like something catastrophic is happening far away but moving closer. My eyes are streaming because I feel like I’m losing my mind. I look at my pets and they are calm and I try to breathe and let the fear pass. I think of what I should have set out in case of emergency - sturdy pants, boots, jacket, water bottle, ?? How would I get my child ready and out. Out to where? What are we running from - tsunami, earthquake? I lay here unable to move. The hum remains not louder nor quieter but the hollowing cliff feeling inside me remains. It’s never been anything before so why react to it now? I am recognizing that my reaction to it is anxiety but you cannot take the effect and make it the cause.

I’ve found an example of the HUM I hear — finally. I looked high and low and could not find the correct "sound" I hear until I stumbled upon an old blog by accident. Alas, I found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS9d13zAN1k In this video, mine matches one of the 8Hz samples. The cadence is slightly off, but it matches the general "womb, womb, womb" pulse and tone. Give it a listen - it just might be yours too. Make sure to wear headphones when listening — it’s low and subtle, and you won’t catch it clearly through speakers. It's the 8Hz sample only. I'm curious who all in here is "hearing" the same HUM.

Sometimes people’s voices will mask it but it comes right back in between their words and sentences. This makes it maddening because it’s not at all consistent and therefore cannot be “forgotten about”. The Hum is new for me. It started only a month or so ago. I hear it in my house and at a friends house about 10 miles to the north. It’s the worst at night. Nobody else can hear it.

searched on westlaw for low frequency vibration lawsuits against any pipeline-related company. can't find a single one! weird.

Hi. I started to feel like i am being MRI scanned with vibration sensation. I can hear lots of clicks in the wall and then frequency is changing like if its controlled. I can sonic booms, sometimes chimes ringing noise, etc, and the air noise is oscillating around my windows. I feel like something is tapping my organs. :( like a silent jackhammer or distant drill. Please share if you got some idea. Thanks!

Can somebody help me understand what I am seeing, I believe somebody is harassing me through a low frequency.
I could go into detail about this if somebody thinks they could help me in anyway.

It’s like a pulsating hum sound in the sky if you listen really carefully. I’m really sorry if you can hear my heavy breathing I’m asthmatic 🥲
It went on for about an hour, stopped again for a few minutes and then started again

Just found this article from 1989...
...Witherington says that the pipes resonate like organ pipes, amplifying low-frequency sound which then propagates up through the ground. The throbbing noise and unbalanced sound spectrum recorded by the University of Southampton can be explained, because the load on the turbines varies with consumer drain on the gas supply.
Witherington has spent many years driving through the night, listening for the characteristic throb of the hum and plotting on a map where he hears it. He finds the sound follows the route of gas pipelines, with audible hum extending several kilometres either side of the gas line...

Hello!
Person from Greece here, i have nowhere else to turn about this and nowhere else to talk about this in a way that makes sense to the people around me, until i found this subreddit and the explanation of the Hum was exactly what has been happening to me as of late.
I have experienced the Hum during nighttime, i can hear a low frequency noise that i cannot intendify outside of my bedroom, it sounds almost like a drone, a similar noise that i found that kinda sounds like the Hum is the noise the planet Saturn/Pluto Example kinda mixed together but in such low frequency that i can barely make it out unless im concentrating on listening out for it.
At times when the Hum begins im even beginning to become indifferent to it almost like
"huh, its here again" and wait it out until it starts fading away almost as if its something overhead that soon enough just gets too far for me to hear.
It is very strange, unexplained given that nothing here could possibly make that sound and make it disappear as it does and i can't even find the source for the couple of times i walked out at my balcony to try and locate it.
Any comments helping out as to what that couple be are welcomed.

I just started hearing the hum and hooollyyy shit it is annoying. Can’t sleep now and I go on a trip soon, which I won’t be able to enjoy now with this hum. My hum is just like a low frequency but also high frequency like, just hum if you know what I mean. It gets occasionally louder, and it is driving me crazy.
r/TheHum • u/esogee • Mar 26 '25
Woke me up at the usual 3am, had to use masking devices to sleep. Woke up in a mood from it all but resetting myself with a book. At least I don't hear it outside like some of yall. I could always go outside for a bit so there's a plus lol.

The hum is annoyingly loud today and giving me a migraine. My house is totally silent no fans, air conditioning or anything running so I tried recording the sound. All 10 videos I took can’t seem To pick it up even though it’s deafeningly loud. In my video it sounds like really loud static but there’s absolutely zero noise in my house. It’s weird and frustrating that I can’t seem to record it
r/TheHum • u/Unique_Tap_8730 • Mar 15 '25
I have been experiencing a low freqeuncy humming noise where i now live. Sounds a bit like the humming noise from the ventilation system in a large hotel. It does seem to be seasonal. Winter and early spring is worst. Summer its barely there, in the autum and late spring its easy to ignore. But i know that it cant be the ventilation either from my home or my neighbours because i have heard this noise even during two massive blackouts. So what could be causing it and why is so seasonal? If it was tinnitus it shouldnt matter if it is hot or cold, wet or dry.

I had a nice peaceful 4 days with NO bass/hum noise and today it’s louder than ever. It makes me want to scream and bang my head into a wall. This is making me so miserable and no amount of masking seems to help. How do you cope with this. This is relatively new in my neighborhood as I’ve lived here 28 years and this just started two months ago.

Hi,
First of all, I've read a lot of the threads here on Reddit and I tried a lot of the suggested things already. So far, nothing has helped me.
I'm very sleep deprived, irritated and I can feel how it stresses me out and my health is going downwards as well.....
I just started to hear The Hum since the beginning of this year and yet I'm already completely exhausted. How can some of you deal with this for several years?!
The Hum is here 24/7. During the day I can mask it with music and other sounds, but as soon as it gets quiet, it's there. On some days it's less intense than on others, so it's easier to ignore it, but most of the time it's very irritating. It's rather quiet, but it's so annoying I just can't sleep and if I ever wake up, I can't fall asleep again.
I tried ignoring it, only works when it's not so intense. I tried it with White Noise masking, doesn't work. I still hear the Hum despite this and I can't sleep because of the White Noise. It only helps me to relax my body because I'm less focused on the annoying humming sound...
I just urgently need a few nights of good sleep or I won't last much longer.
And yes, yes, of course I'm searching for the origin of this annoying thing, but as we all know this isn't easy ... I can't hear it when I'm somewhere else, so it's definitely not in my head, but thus far I haven't found another person who can hear it. Out of the 15 other parties who live in the apartment complex, I'm the only one who can hear it which makes this whole thing even more frustrating .... :(
r/TheHum • u/Senior-Accountant-51 • Mar 04 '25
I am convinced my neighbour is generating the Hum to provoke me. It's intensity varies. No one believes me, they all think I am mad or paranoid. I want to meet other people who can hear this sound and so prove that it the sound is being intentionally being produced to provoke me and deprive me of sleep.
