I just settled a new apartment and hear a constant hum that’s present 24/7 and it’s driving crazy. Building manager and builders can’t pin point it during the day cause it’s masked by road noise. Wondering if there is any acoustic engineer that could help with this problem that service individuals and not commercial projects.

Thank you

I just moved into a new one bedroom apartment and notice a constant noise in both living room and bedroom which I think are wind noise ( it makes the room sounds like I’m inside an airplane cabin and now has develop into a constant echo like humming noise). Noticed that it’s the loudest in one particular end window in the bedroom but doesn’t really explain why it’s also loud in the living room ( both are fully window). Is it wind? Is it HVAC? I’m desperate cause my mine is on it 24/7 and I’m forced to basically mask the sound with music. It’s not particular windy and the double glazing does reduce road noise significantly . It’s really just this annoying constant hum that’s driving crazy.

Is this a window sealing issue? Anyway to reduce the noise ( thinking of curtains) Is the noise normal and expected at this level ( I’m at level 10) ? Will I tuned it out at some point if I can’t figure it out?

Thank you!!!
