This is a list of all the measurements I have made in Brandon FL, the "evidence" points strongly to the TV towers in Riverview. I believe that something changed there in early August there to create all of this awful mind-rattling low frequency noise.
Jolted awake (AGAIN) Aug 31, 2009 at 2:20 AM, so I jumped out of bed to do some more readings. Whoopee. I was barely asleep anyway, since it rumbles most of the day/night when I am home, and hurts my ears a great deal of the time! After being driven to distraction by this noise/vibration that people (that cannot perceive it) tell me is not there, I am trying to catalog all the data I have on it: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are some of the locations that I have taken readings, always in the middle of the night/early morning, because the sound is masked by the sounds of cars/trucks, I cannot hear it during the day with all the noise. (And you can stand in the middle of the street at 4 AM in the morning here too, with caution.) Sample Location 01 (church parking lot near intersection of Bell Shoals and Brooker Road) 27°54'32.61"N 82°16'9.92"W 190 degrees South-Southwest Sample Location 02 (Brooker Rd, halfway between Lithia Pinecrest Road and Valrico, on side of road) 27°54'29.33"N 82°15'16.11"W 195 degrees South-Southwest Sample Location 03 (Intersection of Lithia Pinecrest Road & Valrico Road) (I went to this location because I suspected a nearby cell tower, but at the time I checked, the sound was definitely coming from the south- southwest, not the nearby tower, although the nearby tower did make a subtle humming noise) 27°54'14.52"N 82°15'10.26"W 205 degrees South-Southwest Aforementioned cell tower near Lithia Pinecrest Road and Valrico Rd (I will mention this later too) 27°54'19.12"N 82°15'18.09"W owner: HILBRANDS WILLIAM H AND BEA C, probably leases tower land to cell phone company. Sample Location 04 (Past towers on Boyette Road) 27°50'7.56"N 82°15'3.76"W 310 degrees North-Northwest Sample Location 05 (intersection of Fishhawk Boulevard & an unfinished road, between Boyette Rd and Osprey Ridge Drive) 27°51'12.09"N 82°15'26.48"W 245 degrees West-Southwest (I can see the towers from here, but the sound appears slightly to the right of them! I believe it is bouncing off a building under construction) Sample Location 06 (Insurance Agent Parking lot corner of Bryan and Bloomingdale Rds) 27°53'39.03"N 82°16'39.78"W 180 degrees due South (I believe that the very low frequency sound bounces off/around the surrounding trees and terrain, skewing the sound direction perception. This same effect occurred in the past, when I heard the power plant noise. But as long as I followed the "trend", I found it. Sadly, I think that the signal strength has increased, further allowing me to follow the trail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (The towers are located south of the intersection of Boyette Road and Fishhawk boulevard, you cannot miss them. There are a lot more than the 4 I mapped here.) tower01 27°50'56.11"N 82°15'48.23"W owner: TIITF/DEPT OF EDUCATION (TIITF = Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund) tower02 27°50'51.56"N 82°15'49.48"W owner: FLORIDA WEST COAST PUBLIC BROADCASTING INC (On Google Earth, Towers 1 and 2 are labelled WUSF-FM, WUSF-TV, and WEDU) tower03 27°50'32.83"N 82°15'45.02"W owner: MEDIA GENERAL OPERATIONS INC, TAMPA BAY TELEVISION INC tower04 27°50'26.33"N 82°15'46.83"W owner: MEDIA GENERAL OPERATIONS INC, TAMPA BAY TELEVISION INC (On Google Earth, Tower 3 is labelled WTTA-TV, WFLA-TV, WFTS-TV, WFTT- DT Tower 4 is not labeled.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After I got home, I heard the sound from the Northwest too! :-O Maybe these large towers are communicating with smaller cells receivers/transmitters at newly allocated frequencies/power levels?? I get the feeling, (especially at the cell tower at Valrico Rd and Lithia Pinecrest Road), that these are related. My best guess is that it is some sort of digital signal transmission in bursts. The power of the signal heats the air, the heated air changes air pressure quickly (sound), the very low frequency sound travels, slams into structures, and now you have vibration. If the power is high enough, you get long distance transmission of very low frequencies (5 Hz- 15Hz or something like that, I wish that I could record it?) Could it be the HDTV signal itself, I do not think so, because it is louder at night, and the sound is almost identical to the northern sound. (maybe there is another big tower northward that I didn't locate.) Some sort of digital burst transmission method, why all off a sudden did it get so bad??? Maybe the post-HDTV conversion reallocated some of the radio frequencies (after the June end-of-analog-TV.) But that does not explain the earlier sound/vibration, maybe they were testing it?? I need to find out if something was added to one of those towers! Tower 3 appears to have the some sort of triangular structure on top.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary: 1) July 30, 2008 vibration detected, continued (and increased) until late December 2008, then sound added and vibration worsened. 2) Late December 2008 until early August 2009, determined to be NEAR I-4 & McIntosh Road, north Brandon. 3) Early August 2009 sound/vibration direction completely changed, and worsened. (up until Aug 2009, it did not hurt my ears this bad, I don't think.) Determined to be near Fishhawk and Boyette boulevard, towers 1-4, maybe tower01 or tower02, but not 100% certain. (Tower 03 appears to have a cell-tower-like structure on the top, but this (Google Earth) appears to be old data.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous Location (North Brandon) (Late July 2008 to August 2009) I never heard the directional quality sound but I could feel it up here! When I first heard felt it, I thought that it was water pumps pushing water down Lithia Pinecrest Road through a water main. Then when the sound started in December, I thought it was a factory! But when I realized that factories do not get up and move, I knew it was something else! Since it apparently stopped from the northern source (in early August), all I have are some of the nearby towers. While I cannot hear this anymore, maybe it is relevant, why would it change direction, and yet sound the same?? Some sort of lower power transmission tests maybe back then, because it is louder/vibrates more now from the south! Below are suspected sources, but since they are (relatively) quiet now, I do not know for sure. northern celltower 01 (near MacIntosh & I-4) 28° 2'2.30"N 82°14'43.74"W owner: CROWN CASTLE GT COMPANY LLC 6 radio towers (These towers are labelled WLCC-AM (by Wikipedia), does AM radio use more than one antenna?_ 28° 1'30.85"N 82°16'59.82"W owner: MINORITY MEDIA AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COUNCIL INC northern cell tower 02 28° 1'28.03"N 82°15'18.44"W owner: HICKMAN MERLE L, probably leases tower land to cell phone company. northern cell tower 03 28° 1'28.72"N 82°16'23.30"W owner: SBA PROPERTIES INC --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- None of this is something I wanted to do, traipsing around in the middle of the night, but this phenomena has severely invaded my personal space, and I feel compelled to investigate it, if this technology is being deployed across America, certainly I am not the only one that will tortured by it. It may be newer technology, it may be older technology at a higher power or different frequency, but it is not as harmless as some people think. I feel sorry for the people that live in the shadow of these towers, they may not perceive it, but it is affecting them too. And I do not know why I can only hear the sound in a particular slice of Brandon, probably the higher elevations. I am VERY tired right now, I hope this is coherent. P.S. does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive recorder/microphone that could capture very low frequencies? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hum Sufferers" group.
