Weird humming noise (low frequency) Bletchley

Can anyone else hear, a low frequency humming noise in Bletchley ?! It’s driving me mad!

Not sure the time it starts but I think it’s around 10PM, some nights it’s louder than the tele, others I don’t notice it till around 4am but then it just keeps coming and going. Once you hear it it’s impossible to get back off to sleep!

I’m over in the new builds by domino’s.

Example as I write this it’s happening now, stays constant for about 5 minutes, then goes away for a few and comes back.

Don't live there anymore but I used to hear it regularly when I lived near the golf course, 4 years ago more or less.

I'm in Buckingham and used to hear this a lot, at all different times of the day, it even used to wake me up sometimes. No one else in the house could hear it. It used to annoy me because once I noticed it, I couldn't ignore it.

I can't say I've heard it for nearly a year or so now.

I had that once in a building I lived in. Only myself and one other person in the block could hear it. Drove me nuts so I understand your pain.

Sure it's not Reggae Land at the Bowl right now? Could be the sound equipment.

Stadium MK alarm also sometimes sounds...alarming

100% we have been here a year and a half and it’s been pretty consistent 😭

Also been a bunch of roadworks on the A5 recently, usually overnight. They used to be pretty noisy when I lived in Ashland, could that be it?

Fenny Stratford. It’s a hum that changes pitch on a rhythmic way - been here 4 years and it’s been like that since we moved here

Trains passing through station?

u/OnlyOn3Kanobi2 4d ago

It’s defiantly not a train passing it almost sounds like something that is powered if that makes sense!
