    Whatever the cause is I do hope you get it sorted as it must be very annoying.
    A fish pond should be a place of relaxation not annoyance.
    Do let us know what the outcome is
    Good luck!

    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Thanks for the explanation, @Dovefromabove . How about having a kind of Gardeners' World specific dictionary/lexicon somewhere on this forum?

    I am a native English speaker but sympathise with you on this @Papi Jo.  I don't understand why it's so difficult to just type the word.  Also, why 'Dear' this and 'Dear' that as with DD and DH for  (dear)daughter and (dear)husband??  I doubt they are referred to that way in normal conversation.

    It's true that TLA's can be annoying :)

    Easy to type on a keyboard (for me at least as I touch-type) but not as easy when posting on a tablet or phone ... commonly accepted abbreviations are useful ... you don't have to use them and once you understand them you can read/interpret them as you choose.  I've rarely if ever seen DD or DH on the GW forum  ;)

    I too hope that the OP can have this issue resolved. Sensitive hearing is a blessing and at times a curse, and constant intrusive sound is not good.

    Can anyone else hear this 'hum'?

  • My wife does but the neighbour doesn't seem to...It's quite noticeable on a recording I've made, but unfortunately I'm unable to upload .m4a files.
