Re: Explaining the Indoor-outdoor Hum effect

2013-01-03 Thread Francis Connell
My thought about indoor/outdoor: since I hear the hum outdoors, but it seems amplified indoors was simply that the ambient sounds outdoors mask the hum, while the building insulation masks the outdoor sounds, preventing all but the RF frequencies from getting through, thereby having an indoor

A friend called me from Ann Arbor to say he heard on NPR that a grant was awarded to purchase equipment and study the hum. I have tried to find some reference to this, but found nothing on NPR website. My friend thought it was at the University of Toronto. My experience over the past 2 years:

I have read this post a few times trying to add it to my own understanding of the hum. What types of roofs and associated heights did you conduct your experiments on? Were the roofing materials varied? (i.e. Metal, rubber, asphalt.) I have read about Submarine communications and how they tow

It has been suggested to me that the hum increases seratonin levels, which supress melatonin which aids the body in remaining asleep. I have started taking melatonin nightly (time-release) for the past month. The hum is still there, but less noxious. It also gives me a psychological in thinking

I hear the Hum quite pronounced in my home, which is, as I have described, within 10 meters of a 3phase power line, and 300 meters from a cell phone tower. Today, I drove into a remote river valley, with no visible power lines, sat in my auto and had to strain to possibly 'think' I was hearing

thanks for replying. It is an overhead line, 3 phase. I have read that the max is 12,000 volts per line. I have lived beside this line for over 25 years, but the problem only started 1 1/2 years ago (August 2011). It continued through a 5 day power outage last June. I was told that about that
