I was wondering if anyone here can hear it ? Ive been hearing it for about a year and it can be quite irritating . We are renting a farm in a fairly remote location in the uk and its when everything is switched off and everyone is quiet that it is noticable . Its one of those things that once you notice it , its hard to not focus on it .
I have found loads of sites talking about it but no real answers . This is probably the best site that i have found on the subject :

When everything is quiet...
i distinctively hear 2 tones..
one very low..constant..the other higher pitched and not as constant
so..yes.

Hi John, found this
Close the windows, turn off the electricity, and be very quiet: We're listening for the Hum, a worldwide phenomenon in which a distant rumbling sound can be heard in some places by some people. No single cause has ever been found. The Hum is infamous in some of its most noted locations: The Taos Hum in New Mexico, The Bristol Hum in England, the Auckland Hum in New Zealand, the Kokomo Hum in Indiana. In these places, some 2-10% of the population can hear the rumble. It's described as sounding like a distant diesel engine idling. Some people hear it better outdoors; some people hear it better indoors; some people hear it higher up on the second story and others lower down in the basement. In some places, more men hear it than women. In others, more women hear it. Some Hums are heard more often by older people, and some by younger people. For some people, earplugs help — indicating that it's an actual audible sound; for others, they don't — indicating that it's not. Explanations ranging from insect noise to meteors to secret government projects abound, but no explanation is satisfying.

'a distant diesel engine idling' is a good description of what im hearing but slowly pulsating .

The sound of the cosmos is supposed to be of the same vibration as the famous OM.

Sometimes, my ears will close off and I'll hear a loud but visible hum but it rarely happens.
It could always be an appliance running somewhere or your mind playing tricks on you.

I've heard this off and on for quite awhile. I used to visit the forums on David Icke's site quite often and remember it being discussed there. It is distinct and in my house for instance, I've eliminated any electrical source for the noise.

for me when i focus on it it's like a crystaline hum , that expands to include a greater range and depth , it's more or less constant , when i'm around crystals it's stronger , i'm told this is the frequency they resonate at , the pitch alters according to the type

Earth's Hum Sounds More Mysterious Than Ever By Charles Q. Choi (mail@sciwriter.us),
Earth gives off a relentless hum of countless notes completely imperceptible to the human ear, like a giant, exceptionally quiet symphony, but the origin of this sound remains a mystery.
Now unexpected powerful tunes have been discovered in this hum. These new findings could shed light on the source of this enigma.
The planet emanates a constant rumble far below the limits of human hearing, even when the ground isn't shaking from an earthquake. (It does not cause the ringing in the ear (http://www.livescience.com/mysteries/061009_ringing_ears.html) linked with tinnitus.) This sound, first discovered a decade ago, is one that only scientific instruments — seismometers — can detect. Researchers call it Earth's hum.
Investigators suspect this murmur could originate from the churning ocean, or perhaps the roiling atmosphere (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/planetearth/space_symphony_000323.html). To find out more, scientists analyzed readings from an exceptionally quiet Earth-listening research station at the Black Forest Observatory in Germany, with supporting data from Japan and China.
Different types
In the past, the oscillations that researchers found made up this hum were "spheroidal" — they basically involved patches of rock moving up and down, albeit near undetectably.
Now oscillations have been discovered (http://www.livescience.com/php/video/player.php?video_id=080415-earth-hum/retry=a0db9a9f4c7af5a08251) making up the hum that, oddly, are shaped roughly like rings. Imagine, if you will, rumbles that twist in circles in rock across the upper echelons of the planet, almost like dozens of lazy hurricanes.
Scientists had actually expected to find these kinds of oscillations, but these new ring-like waves are surprisingly about as powerful as the spheroidal ones are. The expectation was they would be relatively insignificant.
New thinking
This discovery should force researchers to significantly rethink what causes Earth's hum. While the spheroidal oscillations (http://www.livescience.com/php/video/player.php?video_id=080415-earth-hum/retry=a0db9a9f4c7af5a08251) might be caused by forces squeezing down on the planet — say, pressure from ocean or atmospheric waves — the twisting ring-like phenomena might be caused by forces shearing across the world's surface, from the oceans, atmosphere or possibly even the sun.
Future investigations of this part of the hum will prove challenging, as "this is a very small signal that is hard to measure, and the excitation is probably due to multiple interactions in a complex system," said researcher Rudolf Widmer-Schnidrig, a geoscientist at the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
Still, a better understanding of this sound will shed light on how the land, sea and air all interact, he added.
Researcher Dieter Kurrle and Widmer-Schnidrig detailed their findings March 20 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

I experienced something similar when I was living in Kokomo, IN, USA.
It sounded very similar to a diesel engine idling, and was very disturbing-especially at night.
Apparently, they ended up blaming the noise on industrial fans at factories in the area.
Others think it may have been HAARP.

Thanks Stardust - I can resonate with the above statement. We often get bombarded with that awful humming sound all through the night and I have to close my windows as it's bloody annoying. I have noticed at times the tone changes slightly. The only place that I can think of that can generate that sound is the dockyard. :confused:
