OP, this reminds me of an episode of Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack. Many people had an issue hearing a noise that those around them could not, but the people hearing the noise didn't have tinnitus either if I remember right. I think the people featured lived in the same area? Not sure. I'll do a deep dive and see if I can find this episode again to give more info. Obvi it was on unsolved mysteries so dont have an answer for you 😭 but it IS a phenomenon that's occured before that may be plaguing your wife

Found it, OP (https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/E.L.F) Give this a read. This specific phenomenon mentioned is believed to originate in and around Taos, New Mexico in the US. If you're outside the US I dont know that I may have been any help. Best of luck and will be awaiting updates!
