I have even worse noise in my area — a widespread ground vibration across a few kilometers, like a constant loud 50Hz hum that causes a tingling sensation in my body. You can’t even block it by covering your ears. I've been experiencing this frequently, both thru the night and during the day, for the past five years here in Singapore has affected my sleep rhythm, can't sleep with that noise. I've unemployed for the past 5 years.
- octo888 1y agoLow frequency noise is the worst! Probably a stupid question but do you know anyone else that can hear it? I had a low-frequency version of tinnitus and I spent weeks thinking it was some external noise
- todotask2 1y agoMy mum hears it too, but the local authorities simply claimed they couldn't hear anything during that brief moment. They’d have to stay overnight to really hear and feel it — inside a room, not just in a public space. It even vibrate my eardrum like I'm sitting on an F16 pilot seat. I don't hear it in other districts. I wish there were an expert or researcher interested in these areas: residential buildings, shops, parks, churches, and schools.
- lurking_swe 1y agoi’d try getting this in front of a journalist or news station. They may be more excited to investigate “weird” claims like this one. Sorry to hear about your situation.
- todotask2 1y agoI tried by emailing to them and got no respond.
- Anechoic 1y agoI wish there were an expert or researcher interested in these areas: residential buildings, shops, parks, churches, and schools. You mean an expert in acoustics related to those areas? There are lots of experts and researchers. Take a look at the Acoustical Society of America, the Institute of Noise Control Engineering, and Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation for starters. Penn State, University of Hartford, Purdue University, Michigan Technological University, University of Nebraska, Morgan State Univeristy, and Brigham Young University (among others) all have strong acoustics programs with research in a bunch of areas.
- todotask2 1y agoOh, but I'm in Singapore.
- leakycap 1y agoThat might make you want to look at that list of organizations and then seek similar organizations or schools in Singapore, if you didn't already try. Good luck with the hum.
- todotask2 1y agoThank you!
- Anechoic 1y agohttps://acousticssingapore.com https://acousticssingapore.com might have some leads.
- todotask2 1y agoThank you!
- Nevermark 1y agoThat sounds terrible. I am imagining some kind of vibration dampening layer under a bed, with an acoustic foam shell around/over the bed. Drastic measures might be worth trying.
- todotask2 1y agoThat could be hard — my building is vibrating as well. It might be due to major underground train construction. The authorities either couldn’t pinpoint the source of the noise or just claim they don’t hear it.
