This has been disturbing me because it's an irregular throbbing rather than a steady hum, and my hindbrain insists on tagging it as a potential threat. Irregular throbbing is *not* entertaining in this context, however much so it may be in others. :^)
Block of flats, which is why I wasn't entirely convinced that it wasn't someone else's stereo or fridge to begin with. But yesterday it was loud enough during the day to go on a mapping expedition, and it was the same volume on every landing in a four floor block. So I think that if it's external noise rather than something generated in my nervous system, it's something about the building itself. I think I'll go round to kalypso_v's the next time it gets bad, and see if I can hear it there -- she lives about a mile from me, so if it's my CNS or a local area thing I'll probably hear it, and if it's some weird resonance in the building, I won't.
Having read through the Defra reports I linked to, I'm not amused. My experience fits the profile of real LFN sensitivity very well, with the exception that I'm ten years younger than the typical age profile. I'll go and bug the doctor for an auditory test, but this is starting to look like real external LNF.
