OK this is gonna sound a bit weird but yesterday I was in the middle of the woods and heard a low frequency humming sound, it lasted approx 3-5 seconds, stopped for a minute, then started again.
Now I am hearing the same sound here in my home in Westbury. Is it just a coincidence or is something going on we don't know about?

Did anyone else hear it? Just wondering if you could be experiencing some condition such as tinnitus.

The same thing happened to me about a month ago but in Pa! I swear there was a noise like something running- was on and off and I would stand in the living room and try to figure out the source. I thought maybe the water pump- no- then maybe someone down the road with a leaf blower- no- maybe a truck idling somewhere- no! It was intermittant and when my son came back from LI I asked him if he heard it. Of course, he looked at me like I had 2 heads and said NO! I heard it in bed, I heard it outside, I heard it when it was quiet and when it wasn't! It was making me nuts! I moved back to LI since and I am not near the level of noise I had at my other job and my ears are ok now. But it was as real as someone standing there talking to me. Started thinking I was losing my mind!

Well I'm getting over a cold. I dont think I could get tinnitus as I dont subject myself to loud noise or music. Maybe it's the aircraft?

Possibly the cold. Pressure in/around the ear drum can cause all kinds of issues. Don't quote me on it, not a doctor or anything, but I have worked in health care for over 10 years and have heard of stranger things caused by inner ear problems.

I doubt if it has anything to do with aircraft. You would have to be close to the aircraft on a regular basis (ie: working around them/on the airfield daily) to have any effect on your ears.

It's more than likely from your cold.

I am not imagining the noise, it is still here today so I recorded it using a microphone attached to my PC and applied strong gain. I could clearly see it in the sound graph.
Now the question is to find where it's coming from.

Default Advice

You might be able to hear it better if you took off your tin foil hat.
