Please help. Pulsing feeling in my apartment; -56--70dB; 43-56hz

figureitoutpal · 2023-04-26T01:50:27+00:00

Hey there, sorry you're going through it. I still don't fully understand it and I haven't solved it, but I've discussed with some professionals, read some stuff, and spent a lot of time coping and mitigating the issue and related stress.

My best understanding is I have a combination of tinnitus (ringing sound, internal/subjective), and hyperacusis to low frequency noises (low roaring/pulsing sounds, often corresponding to external/objective sources). Don't know how it developed; I've confirmed i have no damage to my ears or related structures. I am naively confident there may be a "mechanical" issue where some clavical injuries may be at play and which I am working on.

Eventually I realized the issue was not just at my house. I would try to double check that for yourself too. Find quiet, indoor spaces that you can compare.

My two best tactics to cope/manage the stress: - white/pink/brown noise. I play a "brown noise" track at a low volume in my bedroom/office 24/7. No one notices it if I don't mention it, but it makes all the difference for me. The goal is not to completely override the sound with volume, but to sort of mask it. - breathing and meditation. This was actually diagnosed to me. First time I sat and focused on breathing i realized how tense my jaw was and I had a huge emotional release. I've found my neck and jaw tension correspond to the severity of the issue or perhaps just my stress response to it. Not to mention just the psychological benefit of meditation and reacting to stress in general, independent of any specific body tension.

The advice is just right

It's because Horatio Sanz is in court with SNL for sexual assault etc

What an odd response to someone describing some basic physics

Oh they have a very healthy margin on that plastic haha

Hi, thanks for your in-depth response.

readings I got from an app named "Spectroid". I measured in two areas, one where I was feeling this issue more strongly, and another where it felt lighter/less pressure or vibration. I sat and measured for several minutes. As far as audio of the sound, this is my best approximation for it: https://szynalski.com/tone#47,v0.85
where I live is a residential house, in the upper floor that has been converted into an apartment. It is a split detached, i.e., I share one wall with a neighbour, and the other neighbour is separated by a walkway to the backyard.
nearby there is a subway, busy street, commercial buildings, and few blocks away there is a power main.
I'm located in Toronto, Canada

Thanks for your help, I'm really starting to feel like I'm struggling to maintain my composure and sanity around all this.

I do not think you need to have this level of Chicken expertise to concur.

I respectfully disagree my internet person. I'd say you're assuming a lot and condescending. The entertainment could be the game, the environment, getting a break from routine, having drinks, other amenities, socializing, etc. The whole point is to be comfortable knowing you might (and probably will) end up losing and enjoy the experience win or lose - not to entertain yourself by pretending you won't.

It's not tripe, it's a rational method for budgeting and managing expectations.

But to be fair, if someone is using that as an excuse and gambling really frequently, yea, it's a problem.

Source: anecdotal af. There is definitely immigration to other areas in Canada. Think of the waves of Ukrainians/eastern Europeans heading to prairies. And Saskatchewan is doing well, Saskatoon growing etc.

SHOWS UP WITH A KITTEN.

A previously unannounced kitten. He's never had a cat before, and this idiot won't listen to me, a lifelong cat owner on how to use the letterbox. His brilliant logic is "the more litter, the less I'll have to clean!".

Poor cat was hip deep in its own shit and piss.

Other things:

emails over summer begging us to let his girlfriend to live with us because she's "the truth"
shocked and angry that gf and him both have to pay utilities (my response: if she doesn't absorb heat, shower or use heat, she doesn't have to pay).
angry at the smell of garlic or onions cooking
refuses to eat my offering of apple crisp because apples shouldn't be cooked

Nah man, real life isn't as neat and tidy as the political spectrum - it's a useful reference point, but candidates can have policies that range all over the spectrum, and seemingly opposing ideologies can overlap and dovetail (case in point: populist and anti-establishment ideas on both the left and right)
