That's so typical of Hum and why it gets the Psychosomatic label I
reckon! Focusing does enhance it and also, I suspect why a lot of
hearers don't like the feeling of something so closed in to their
consciousness.Too immediate a feedback?
No real work gets done on hum by the PTB - let alone side issues like
psychosocial issues and medical interactions.
Many are quick though to shout Tinnitus etc as unfounded excuses to
doing nothing else about it.{even though they may well co-exist
commonly]
I tried low freq audio tests years ago and found a lot of LF stuff
around <30 Hz but very hard to measure free from noise tbh.
John {here] is into Gravity detection- but I just don't have a feel
for this as it seems a bit rarified and out of my experience in the
Technical field.
Distraction is a great aid with Hum- true enough!yOn Jul 2, 7:16 am, Joshua Ginges <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi John, > > Quite interesting.
