Hi, I know there was another post recently about humming noise in a house. This is a different circumstance.
We moved to the country about 2 years ago. Our neigbour, about half a mile away has been building a dairy. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that a constant humming sounds started. It is like a vibration, low level that I can hear day and night. Once you are outside, you don't notice it but inside, it is heard in every room in the house. We switched off the mains electricity to be sure it wasn't something in the house.
Someone mentioned it might be the refrigeration units used by some dairy farms. Has anyone any experience with noise levels from a dairy farm? There are no wind farms nearby so I know it is not a windmill. Also I know dairy milking machines can cause noise in morning and evening. But this is constant and never stops and is really driving me and my husband a bit mad. I mentioned it to our elderly neighbours but they were little help as they are both rather hard of hearing and hadn't noticed it. The sound is like being on an airplane.
BTW we have not done any DIY or anything that might effect the sound levels in our house.
Any advice or experience appreciated.
