Why would you not think you have the well documented medical condition Tinnitus?
"The Hum" is "a real audio signal coming from outside of a person's body", except it's not real. (And the first Google result for "The Hum" is this legend, not the vibrations from the oceans hum)
It was on the X-Files for instance - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_(The_X-Files) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_(The_X-Files)

I have friends who believe in the paranormal. I don't disagree with them, even if it's medical like this. But I also won't agree with them. I'm not sure if that's cowardice.
- jusssi 6y agoFor me the first google result the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum) which offers several explanations, including actual measurable man-made external sources, a type of tinnitus, and some more rare or speculative circumstances. My understanding is that hum-like low-frequency tinnitus is not all that well documented. Feel free to provide links to sources to prove me wrong.
