The latest entry into the Mystery Sounds phenomena is coming out of Herbrandston, a small town in the west of England on the Celtic sea.
According to the Western Telegraph
Herbrandston residents ‘tortured’ by mystery low frequency noise
Some of the sufferers Steve Ingram, Paul Chesher, Jane Ingram, Marilyn Woosey, Gill Peace, and Louise Cleaver.
A group of Herbrandston residents have reached breaking point after a ‘torturous’ mystery noise made life in the village a ‘living hell’.
Jane and Steve Ingram said life at their quiet Herbrandston home became unbearable when a low, drowning noise started keeping them awake at night.
Jane, who began to hear the drone back in 2009, said she hasn’t had a full night’s sleep in years and has even considered moving house.
She said: “At first it was a noise similar to a car engine running. I would get up in the middle of the night to see if there was a car out there, and there never was.
“And when I put my head on the pillow, I hear big machines drilling underground. It’s torturous.”
“…big machines drilling underground…”
So far the majority of the mystery sounds around the globe have been attributed to something in the sky. Underground drilling is going to really set a fire under the conspiracy theorists.
The couple thought the noise was emanating from one of the two oil refineries or LNG facilities on their doorstep, and last August they contacted Port Health and the Environment Agency, which launched an investigation.
Although the investigation detected low frequency noise at 63 Herz (42decibels), its source remained a mystery.
She said: “It’s more of a vibration than a noise, it’s very disturbing to my body – my heart vibrates.
“Sometimes I feel suicidal because it’s becoming hell, like hell on earth.”
Just a symptom of an industrial culture? It was not until the 1970’s that the first laws were enacted against Noise Pollution, but the concept dates back as far as the invention of machines to work for us. Now we are so enveloped in noise we cannot even determine from which direction it is emanating.
