I have never been a rock or pop musician. I can hear the chirp of a
single cricket 100 metres away. In the dead of night I can hear the
escapement spring of my watch on my bedside cabinet making a chiming
noise. I do not have tinnitus. My friends and relatives can hear the
same Hum that I can hear sometimes at night. It's from a ship's
generator about 2 kilometres away. The Hum is different every night
because there are different ships in port each night and every
generator is different. The Hum varies every few seconds because of
atmospheric conditions and changes of wind direction.
Apart from people who actually have tinnitus, the Hum that most people
around the world hear is easily explained as being from large motors
of some kind within say10 km. People without tinnitus will not hear
the Hum if they go to a different location. People with tinnitus will
hear similar noises where ever they go.
If people are concerned about a real Hum, they should find a technical
expert who can hear the Hum and get him/her to record it and track the
direction it is coming from. Then visit the source of the Hum and tell
the person responsible for it to keep it quiet or they will be sued
for a few million dollars by the neighbours.
