I started hearing this last night when I got home. It's just a low frequency hum, like a big rid idling in the driveway, but further way. I stood outside after getting out of my car listening for a few minutes to see if it got any louder or moved. I was expecting it to get louder then hear the familiar whump-whump of helicopter blades, but it never changed. Thought maybe the subwoofer attached to the garage stereo had gone on the fritz. Nope. Went inside and forgot about it.
Once in bed for the night and things got quiet I started hearing it again, from all over the house with no change in intensity regardless of what room I was in. It's constant for a few minutes, then stops for a few seconds, then starts again. It almost sounds like you should be able to feel it by touching the walls. Jenny has tinnitus and can't hear it, both the girls are hearing impaired and can't hear it.
I noticed it again walking to my car this morning. It's louder outside than it is inside.
I get to work 45 miles away and I don't hear it, so it's not my ears. So I start googling.
Anybody else hear it? They say only 2-4% of the polulation can hear it, and it seems to be reported in localization's around the globe.
The simulation / recording at 0:39 is dead nuts on to what I'm hearing at home (the rest of the video is crap)
