You may hear it too when you try this experiment. Late at night when all is quiet, turn off all of your appliances and play this video with the volume down so low that you can just barely hear it, then hit pause and see if you still hear it at an even lower volume level. I've logged almost a million miles on motorcycles over the last 45 years. Several of those bikes were very loud Shovelheads with drag pipes but even with my diminished hearing, I can still hear this background noise everywhere!
Thanks for posting this! I've been trying for months to pinpoint and identify this annoying background hum that I hear all the time, everywhere I go, even when the power goes out! I even hear this sound (at a very low volume level) when I'm way out in the boondocks where no possible power lines or devices could be the cause. I've also heard that people all over the world are reporting the same phenomena. Any body else in the D/FW or surrounding areas notice this too or am I just losin' it? LOL!
I suspect that you are simply going bananas. You'll soon start hearing voices too! But, on a serious note, it's not that surprising. Most of the power lines are buried in the ground these days, and in certain conditions the ground may vibrate at this frequency acting like a speaker. At least that's my half-educated speculation.
@Phonehed My motto says, "It's what your NOT hearing that is deafening". Take an LM741 op amp and make an amplifier using a foil panel hooked to the inverting input and a 1 Meg resistor going from inverting input to output. Hook the output to a 10 microfarad capacitor and then hook up headphones, then hook a 9 volt battery to the supply rails. You'll hear even louder and stranger noises, and this is WITHOUT the amp oscillating.
That's what you'd hear if you hook up a computer speaker system to a "modified sine wave" power inverter.

its true because it is a.c. 60hz

@reconrey1292 Panasonic's "Virtual Motion Sound System" comes to mind.

I do have tinnitus but those tones are all very high frequency. I wonder if you can have low frequency tinnitus too?
