Pipelines also cause a resonance hum that some people CAN hear for miles, and it drives them batshit.

There's a steam plant for my local hospital about 300m from my house. When I'm in my basement trying to record drums, I can audibly hear when the plant is running. Super low, sub-50hz hum. It gets into all my mics.

Fortunately my bedroom is on the second floor of the house so the resonance doesn't keep me up at night.
