Article in BBC News today about a town in the UK where there's a "hum" that only some people can hear. Later on, they discuss the hiring of some soft of private detective who attributes it to .. you guessed it .. 5G.


Am I bad for not believing these people?

I don't know if its 5G But just outside my area idiots were attacking 5G masts for ''beaming'' in Coronavirus!

Anyway i remember seeing a news article about a woman in Sweden who kept complaining about a ''hum'' that only she could hear, her neighbours couldn't hear a thing. A private investigator said the hum she kept hearing was the Smart meters in her apartment block. Not the meters themselves but the signal they were putting out, (5G wasn't out yet)
 
I've not read the article yet, so taking your comments at face value and I would be sceptical too.. but then stranger things have happened .. there was the broadband fault in a village that kept dropping connections - people struggled and struggled to diagnose - evntually it was a really old tube tv belonging to a resident causing who had no idea it was causing the issue.. so.. I would say if related to 5G, not related to 5G directly - but maybe a piece of electrical equipment related to mast - transformer or something?

I can hear the bloody hum. Actually, it often sounds like heavy diesel engines running. The volume varies. When it first started, I spent hours driving around my locality in the middle of the night.trying to find the source. I never did.

It started well before 4G, never mind 5.

That'll be the Bluetooth...
 
In Canada there was the "Windsor Hum", which apparently was caused by the machines in a steel plant. It stopped when the factory stopped: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/windsor-hum-zug-island-us-steel-1.5665100

A few years ago there was reports from Durham: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-13752688

There's even a Wikipedia page about it. Some examples, possible explanations, etc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum

I think if this was directly caused by 5G, more people would be hearing/"feeling" it.
 
Of course I believe it, but it can only be heard by those who have been "tuned" into it by aliens via an abduction. The truth is out there!

I hear it where I am now and I can hear it at my place in Wales although not as loud. I don’t hear it in other places.

It’s a very low frequency rumble rather than a hum.
 
I can absolutely believe power equipment, gas pipes, heavy industry could cause it. Although I remain slightly sceptical that only certain people can hear it. I just cringe when someone says it's 5G related. In the BBC article it claims that the start of frequency for these hums is 10Hz. You can't even hear 10Hz and if you're an adult and you can, you should go talk to the guinness world records people :ROFLMAO:

But sceptical me (actually that's just normal me) thinks it's odd that someone would quit their job and develop shingles and other conditions because of a hum that only they and a handful of others can hear. I think there might be some "i need compensating" going on, but maybe not.
 
My wife can’t hear it, even when it’s really, really loud to me.

The normal human hearing range is 20 to 20,000 Hz. However, it can go as low as 12 Hz and as high as 28,000 Hz.

It did nearly drive me mad when it started. As I said above, I wasted hours searching for the source. I got one of those under pillow speakers so that I could play eight hour recordings of pouring rain to drown the noise out.
Eventually, I thought sod it, I’m not letting it get under my skin and I just ignore it now.

I initially thought tinnitus too, but it is location dependent. I don’t hear it at all in Australia, for example.

Probably similar to where I used to work years ago. Backed onto a Tesco distribution centre. 24 / 7 idling diesel engines and I worked night and day shifts. Only hear when outside the building, but even so you tune it out. You'd only notice when not there. 1 day a year Christmas Day all engines shut off.
 
I think I believe them, but I definitely wouldn't accept a "5G hub" as an explanation from a £3k private investigator when I know that this issue has been going on for many years before I even heard of 5G no mind they installed the thing
 
It's got to be some industrial process in the not necessarily near vicinity. You need a lot of power to generate this kind of low sound waves and have them travel this far.

These unknown hums are nothing new. If you search the webz there are so many stories.

There are pipelines of all manner as I’m sure you’re aware that criss cross most of the UK. Some with fascinating history.

The distances are so vast by comparison in Australia you could detonate a nuclear weapon or three and no one would know 😎
 
its just crazy to me that multiple people at the BBC read this and decided the mention of 5G was okay, when its so obviously not the truth, now maybe 100 or so people will read it, go to facebook to complete their research and start objecting to masts, tell their other friends to aswell "just in case!"

i'd be happy to bet that 99% of anti-5g comes from huge media/news sites mentioning that X person has a suspicsion Y is caused by 5G, then a person reads it, researches on facebook, finds some fake "science" and tells their friends to object to masts, i looked back on my planning portal and I cannot see the same response, or any response at all to 4G poles going up.

most of the time no one cares to support or object to an application for a pole, there are countless applications related to mobile before 5G on this planning portal that no one supported or objected to. if the entire town was made aware that a group of people are ensuring this town stays behind in connectivity of the devices they use everyday im sure there would be hundreds of supporting comments, but only one group is looking for these applications
 
I've just watched the video and the noise they attributed to 5G STARTED IN 2009?? what is wrong with the bbc

literally the first result proves that this cannot be RF/5G
