There even was a long essay in the Scientific American, but I failed to find it again so far.

Much more can be found via search engines.

In Germany, the phenomenon is described since the late 90s. A sound recording by the German federal office for emmission control and protection, was successful in the early 00-years near Stuttgart - but it showed an atypical sound of around 8Hz in the area of Stuttgart, origin unknown. Its more the lower of the two sounds I seem to hear, as described above.

Victims suffering from this phenomenon can sometimes be drastically affected. The hum can cause headches, intense neck pain, and nose bleeding. Some people are crying out in relief when meeting the first time ever other victims, since they did not know they were not alone with their personal history, and only met people so far who did not believe them or claimed them to be insane. A couple of suicides has been reported from across Europe. Sometimes, though rarely apparently, the hum is heard so loud that people must yell to communicate.

2% of people around the globe seem to be able to hear it. That translates into millions and millions around the globe.

In Germany, there were several civil organizations founded by citizens trying to establish a descriptive database. They send questionaires and collected the data. After some years all these activites died, due to frustration, the organisers admit. They collected the data, yes: but it did help nothing at all to get closer to a theory or to find answers that could be tested. We still know as much as we knew decades ago: almost nothing.
