"The HUM", a persistent Low Frequency Noise

The repeating pattern of pitches and rhythms makes me wonder if we’re experiencing pulsatile tinnitus. I’m often noticing my heartbeat which seems to connect with rapid drums playing under a short musical fragment (can sound like mush sometimes). It can be very annoying if it’s loud, especially when I wake up in the morning. Not a great way to start the day!

I’ve wondered also whether some of the sounds I’m hearing relate to heartbeat. I have concluded I don’t think they do, because I seem to have some ability to change the pace of these patterns and even, occasionally, to silence them with conscious breathing and relaxation efforts. I am starting to conclude that what I’m experiencing may relate to anxiety. I’ve been caught up in a particularly difficult move in the past few months, and that’s when this all started for me.

I agree with your statement about waking up to these patterns in the morning. That is particularly disconcerting.
