Low rumbling vibration

Submitted by Large_Environment_38 t3_10iy5oj in jerseycity

Any one noticing or know why there seems to be a really low pervasive vibration? I'm downtown by kitchen step. Noticed it a bit for a while today but just now some things in the apartment we're making a rattle now too

I’ve been feeling it too but I’m no where near downtown. Thought I was crazy.

If it’s intermittent and lasts like 30 seconds, it’s probably the path. I think it’s been slightly louder lately in my place (along Columbus).

I feel this occasionally in my building, it took me a bit to realize it’s coming from the W/D in adjacent apartments going into the final spin cycle. If it’s a vibration that only lasts a few minutes at a time that’s what it might be.

Hi, Kearny resident here (we share the Hackensack river). I believe, what you are hearing are airplanes. We’ve been told during different weather patterns, flights slightly tweak landing/takeoff causing the slightest proximity change but creating that low rumble/vibration noise in our town. This has been an issue in our town that residents apparently brought up for years and was a response during one town hall.

Not sure if its the same noise (yours very well could be the PATH), but based on the weather, flight patterns yesterday and the similar noise that Kearny and Harrison residents heard at the same time, I’m 99% sure its airplane flights.

I live on Columbus and lived on Jersey before and it’s the PATH train

Never ending sewer work might be a good guess! I'd think not a washer/dryer, path, or planes. It wasn't really a coming and going rumble, just a slow build that the abruptly stopped shortly after this post. Almost would have made me think I was having vertigo if not for the end with glasses rattling

Hey I’m nowhere near Jersey and have been hearing/feeling this happening more and more over the last two years. Where I’m at it was almost every minute today. I’m not sure what is going on but there’s no subway where I’m at and not much close that would make much sense. I think it legitimately is coming from the Earth itself or some sort of tunneling being done.
