I don’t think it’s tinnitus though all the Google results I got were about it. Last night my partner and I went out into the desert to stargaze, and when there were no cars nearby, we both experienced a constant quiet noise. It’s a hard noise to describe–not a ringing or a whooshing noise, but almost a pulsating kind of noise. Is it the sound of blood going through your ears? Brain making up noises to fill the gaps?

There’s a phenomenon called “the hum” that some people report experiencing, it’s not really a single proven thing but you could read more about it if you’re curious and see if any of the explanations line up for you.
