noise annoyance
86 wrote 03/01/2015 at 03:56 • 0 pointsi am new to this site. never heard of it until i began to search for low frequency intrusion. i have a strong sense that someone is tampering with frequencies to cause me to go insane. i keep my cool but its getting irritating both for my family and myself. i have no money, no way of getting high tech gadgets to help me resolve the issue. does anyone know how to locate low frequency noises, infrared, hidden cameras???

thanks for the information, i ordered a noise finder device, ..the source sounds like a speaker when the audio is on video and there is no video in play, its an annoying sound but i'll check back in if i can't find anything after receiving the noise finder,..... i also tried using a sound amplifyer, a RF Detector and couldn't find the source.....

RTL-SDRs don't work below about 24 MHz. Audio hardware doesn't work below 20 Hz. BTW, the "brown note" is real. I know an electrical engineer who experienced it while breaking in an 18" subwoofer by following the resonant frequency lower and lower until...

I also have electromagnetic (EM) sensitivity. (About 5% of people can "feel" EM.)
Since you "have no money, no way of getting high tech gadgets" any sort of analysis of the problem is out of the question.
There are some simple things that you can do that I've found helpful: find any inexpensive transformers in your environment and get rid of them. CFLs are usually terrible. LED lights can also be problematic (many flash at @ 120 Hz). Phone / USB chargers are often noisy. Power supplies in LCD/LED monitors are also problematic.
Make your bedroom an "electronics free zone." It helps a lot.
Also, remember the inverse square law:

Radiation drops exponentially the farther an EM source is from you.
Grounding helps a lot. Google "grounding natural health" for a range of interesting opinions.
If walking barefoot on the earth isn't an option for you, you can plug yourself into a grounded outlet. No, really! I do this all the time when working with static sensitive devices. Get a grounded power cable, cut off the female end, strip the cable cover, put electrical tape over the black and white wires and connect the green wire to your wrist after TESTING FIRST! (If you don't have a voltmeter, brush the green wire against the back of your hand.* You shouldn't feel anything.) Use of a GFCI outlet recommended.
(* I know an electrician who can tell 120/240/480 volts by this method. Definitely not a recommendation. I'm just saying people do that.)

Hi,
"I also have electromagnetic (EM) sensitivity. (About 5% of people can "feel" EM.)"
No you don't :)
I built and commissioned cell towers for many years, and had many people complain, picket, and even sabotage our sites due to "EM sensitivity". Despite their claims that they started getting migraines as soon as the tower went up, these often weren't even running yet, and they didn't seem to feel any ill effects from the cell tower that was just down the street (but hidden better).

Holy crap, brush a wire against the back of your hand to test for voltage? He's not attempting emergency repairs on a de-powered raptor paddock, there's no need to even bring up testing methods like this. Op, this is a garbage recommendation--use a goddamn tester of some kind, they're cheap and infinitely safer.

Faraday cage and a emf detector
Are you sure? yes | no
i could not find anything helpful, i tried downloading a frequency detector via strength and tried looking up rtl-sdr and was unsuccessful. extra help anyone?
Are you sure? yes | no
Have you tried distilling all of your water? This might have something to do with all of the chemicals the government puts in the water supply.

thanks ima look.into i

You can use a RTL-USB stick and a long wire as antenna. Look for RTL-SDR
Are you sure? yes | no
You can try to trace the source of the frequency via strength. I would say a low frequency scanner of sorts, should be cheaply available online. This is off the top of my head.
