Can anyone else in Edinburgh hear 'the hum'?

Hah hah!? Where's my ale and whisky!!月女

Edinburg justifies some time of your daily life to learn it and here is the place to begin hotelbye . Among the areas wherever you can have a fantastic day trip with the household could be the Edinburgh Zoo. This zoo is your home to around 1,000 incredible animals, including the UK's just big pandas. The Zoo is situated in lovely parkland controls and involves wonderful flamingos, pretty koalas and cheeky chimpanzees. Edinburg is not just any city; Edinburg is the city to pay your family holyday, a holyday that may never be forgotten.

Not all hums are lacking in explanation. When they are explained, they tend to have widely disparate causes ranging from construction and industry to tinnitus. This multiplicity of causes prevents 'the hum' from being a "recognised phenomenon" because that would make is several different phenomena.

If you're the only person who can hear it, it's probably tinnitus.

I can hear the hum! I live to the West of Edinburgh (but not quite West Lothian). I can hear it in one room in my house: my bedroom, but I am beginning to hear it in the living room and kitchen too.

This is not tinnitus - it's NOTHING like tinnitus in fact.

Hearing this noise is driving me insane. I can only hear it in one ear, it often feels like the whole side of my face is vibrating and sometimes feels as if my ear is going to pop (like when flying).

I would love to know what is causing this irritating hum - I have gone so far as to shout at my neighbour for running his car engine in the middle of the night when he was in fact fast asleep in bed. Ooops!!

It is the after effects of the big bang you are hearing. Everyone hears it although most folks simply ignore it or put it down to some simple explanation like the wind rustling the trees, or the roaring of the ocean waves breaking on the shores. The fact is , there is no such stuff as silence unless you are totally deaf.

Its either an ear disorder called tinnitus (very common), or its a motor or generator running somewhere.

The "recognized phenomenon" you are talking about is a hoax - the people that started the hoax admitted to it years ago, but other people continue to spread it around.

You have tinnitus - make an appointment with your GP and ask for a referal to the hearing clinic.

I can hear, its just destroying me, its started a month ago. Its affecting me so much.

I can hear it in Roslin, in Longniddry (around 4pm) and in Niddrie. A thick loud hum which varies in loudness. Sometimes it stops completely and the silence is magical. Does indeed sound like a heavy diesel engine coming up the hill but it never gets there. Times of starting up can vary but the noise swells until it is unbearable (making the whole house vibrate and the bed as well) and then fades off. Sometimes it's a buzzing with variable pitch. The Council seems reluctant to put in equipment to record and define the hertz level. This is a common noise around the world and heard by people with excellent hearing (which has been tested). We are still waiting for the answer as to what is causing this horrible noise.
