I can hear baselines (from blocks away!) that my family can't hear at all. Or, hear isn't the right word, but I feel it as an ache in my ears and head.
The hum? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum
Nah, it gets closer and then farther away, and corresponds to cars blasting heavy bass.
Do you mean like a bass sound? Any idea what frequency?
It happens when the cars with the aftermarket sound systems roll by, because it still happens when we can hear it, but it also happens when it's too far away for anyone else to hear. I associate it with deep bass, but I don't actually know what's causing the effect.
