Yep. I can hear it. Pretty clearly, in fact.

I first noticed it back in 1999 when I lived on a sailboat. Sounded like it was coming from under the water and I could never pinpoint the location. During quiet times I could actually hear it outside above the water.

In 2010 I was tested for tinnitus and I had to be sent to a special hearing test facility. Turns out my hearing is way off the scale both at the high and low ends (I could accurately hear 20,000 Hz frequencies). Don't remember what the low end was, but I could hear it even more clearly than the high end.

Now, during most nights I can hear the hum extremely clearly. And it's the same sound as what I heard on the boat.

Here's the funny thing. I was NOT diagnosed with tinnitus - by two different doctors. Neither doctor could figure out why I could hear incredibly high frequencies at times. And neither one had any explanation of why I could hear the low hum.

If anyone has any questions I'm happy to answer.
