OK, this is an odd post but who better to ask than all of the audio folks. At my home a low frequency noise can be heard. It sounds like a motor running in the distance. There is some variance in the audible pattern. Not really in frequency but perhaps it is because it is some distance away.I remember the first time I heard it. It was a few years ago in the middle of a winter storm, a few feet of snow on the ground, the power was out so it was dead quiet with good acoustics from the snow. I thought it was a generator running but in the years since this noise is present all the time, power or no power as having gotten attuned to the noise it is easier for me to hear. I also heard the noise at a neighbors a half mile away at about the same amplitude.
Today I came home early and opened the laptop and in the quiet house with nobody here but me and no appliances on and it is of course audible. I live in a very rural area on a dirt road where maybe ten cars or so drive by daily. It's very quiet here. We love that.
So I've wondered what this could be. I thought somebody's well pump but no because it's there when there is no power. I know, its an underground meth lab run by a generator! I have no idea.
Does anyone know how to track down and locate this kind of LF noise? I imagine its between 50-100 hz, closer to 100 I believe. Any ideas welcome. If your going to go critical make it funny!
