#2And trust me it's damn annoying, it's nothing ear plugs can't take care of but damn if it isn't enough to slowly drive you insane

You live there? What are the leading theories of what it could be? The article didn't seem to lock in on anything.

Can you located it -- it's coming from the ground? air? direction?

Wonder if you can train yourself to ignore it.
The same way some fucked up people train themselves to ignore smoke detector chirps. I've known a couple of these people in my life. They managed to live with a chirping detector for weeks on end and when you bring it up they think you're making mountains out of molehills.

#7Shouldn't this be "relatively easy" to track down? Just place a few microphones and triangulate?
EDIT: Thanks to ocdtrekkie for digging in further on this:

#8Sorry for this I am not experiencing it so maybe I'm completely wrong but these people seem to be overblowing this a lot. Health effects? I mean, it's a hum. Sure you can't find the source but heaters hum, ACs hum, cars going past hum, bass hums. Like how is it possible that it's this huge of a problem? When a humming stops I tend to actually miss it because it becomes too quiet. I tend to hear the air conditioners or heaters at work all day every day for at least 8 hours. Is this hum much much louder than that or what?

I live there ... I was away for many years and saw a few stories in the news and kinda laughed it off ... now not laughing so much
The leading theories are it has something to do with this mordor like place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zug_Island

Too low frequency to localise ... think heavy bass
Has there been an attempt to trilaterate/triangulate the sound? Should be fairly simple to rig up several recording devices in sync around, and use timing/loudness to get an idea of origin, despite the large wavelength.
