Without any research funding at all, I have determined that proximity to active field artillery and presence at the rifle rage cause significant hearing loss.
Nearby major powerlines?
“Hearing loss” is not the same as tinnitus. (Having experienced tinnitus over 60 years)...
Nope. As I wrote prior, you can sense the standing waves at various points around the area, but it pinpoints nothing (these wavelengths can emanate hundreds/thousands of feet from the source). Outside my house I can hear reflections from other houses, having eliminated the nearby houses as sources.
To be clear, when I write ‘sense’ it’s less eardrum than it is vibrato off the diaphragm and inside the skull. It’s impossible to describe without being exposed to it (’it’ being infrasound).
One thing I’ve considered is erecting large panel (the size of 2 sheets of plywood) to act as a deflector to at least give me a direction - and perhaps partial relief - from the constant cycling drone. There’s half a chance it could be one of the various ground transformers in the area, but without electronic means (working on that) I can’t pin it down.
Ironically, once again while typing it stopped for a time, and this time I realized a vehicle was going by (it came back).
Hmmmm. (more data)
Elephants communicate through infrasound. The source should be easy to find!
;)
1) Shooting firearms without hearing protection. (Or a suppressor)
2) LOUD ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC CONCERTS!!
Occupational hazards, i.e. loud machinery.
Don't do it, people. Take care of your hearing.
Harder than you think. I thought I found it twice. It’s counterintuitive, but I must expand my search to a mile from my home.
