This website is about finding the source of that irritating, disturbing, and loud noise that keeps us awake. You only want to turn it off, but searching the neighbourhood hasn't helped. This noise is often referred to as 'The Hum,' as it resembles the humming sound made by electricity at a substation. However, the substation is typically far from your home and always operates, yet this noise can come and go.
You are desperate to know what it is. The objective of this website is to provide understanding and find a way to alleviate or block this noise. Nearly all sufferers lack the skills or time to determine its origin and don't know what they have come up against.
We have been studying this noise for decades and have learnt much about it. Just like you, we couldn't sleep through it. You will benefit from reading this website, as it brings together the experiences of other sufferers, who also call it the Hum. Importantly, it will lead you to a greater understanding, and to enable you to discard looking for the wrong sources. It may assist in stopping you thinking you are going mad, especially when other members of your family don't hear it, nor do the neighbours.

" The Hum acted as a wave over the city of Auckland, NewZealand, and through calculations was observed to have travelled at approximately 6m/min between two points 33km apart."
" While sitting on the couch on a hot summers day the Hum suddenly 'clicked' on. It made my feet go really cold and I could feel this coldness progress up to my knees."
"Though tired when in bed, my legs felt tight and then almost involuntarily I would need to shake a leg to relieve the pressure that had built up."
