I hope you can help me. I’m desperate. I’ve tried everything—and if I can’t find a solution soon, my entire marriage is going to fall apart.

Or worse.

A few months ago, my wife and I moved into a new house. A townhouse in a nice development. We got a really good price and the house was in great condition—the owner was an older widow with no kids or pets. We were thrilled to have our dream home for a fraction of the price.

Then my wife started complaining about the noise.

“Do you hear that?” she asked me one night, as we cooked dinner.

“Hear what?”

“That, like, really high-pitched noise.”

I stopped stirring the sauce and listened. But all I could hear was the soft bubbling of our pasta water. “Sorry. I don’t hear anything.”

“Hmm,” she said, scowling. “I don’t hear it anymore, either.”

But over the coming weeks and months, she heard it a lot more. A high-pitched whine at all hours of the day (and night.) I told her maybe it was tinnitus. But she insisted it wasn’t—she heard it through both ears, and it just “sounded” like an external noise.

“Besides,” she added. “I only hear it at home.”

I racked my brain, trying to think of what it could be. “Maybe you’re hearing some electronic device through the wall.” I remembered, as a kid in the ’90s, my parents having a TV that made the most annoying sound. Even when it was on mute, I could hear that horrible high-pitched whine from two rooms over.

“Hmm… interesting,” my wife replied, stirring her cup of coffee. “So you think… if the neighbors had some sort of device… we’d hear it through the wall?”

“Maybe? We hear their dog all the time.”

But, God, I wish I hadn’t said anything. Because that afternoon, she came to me with the most batshit-insane theory I’d ever heard.

“They’re doing it on purpose,” she whispered—as if scared that they’d hear us. “They must’ve bought some device that makes annoying sounds, and now they’re purposely pointing it at us through the wall.”

I nearly spit out my soda. “Uh, what now?”

She repeated herself, a frenzied look in her eye, and I nodded like it all made sense. But inside I was screaming, what the fuck?

“You know the Kowalskis hate us.”

Okay, that part was true. We didn’t have the best relationship with Jack and “Gigi” Kowalski. They hosted parties that went late, and we threatened to call the cops once. When their dog pooped on our lawn, I’d gotten in a near-shouting match with Jack over it.

“Does a device like that even exist?” I asked.

But it did. “Noise stingers.” A whole spread of them on NoiseMakersExpo for $49.99. I felt my gut turn as I read about them—people apparently did use them vindictively, to get back at neighbors. Sometimes they even caused ill health effects.

“Only someone totally demented would use this.”

“Like the Kowalskis.”

“Well—”

“I have half a mind to go over there right now, and tell them if they don’t turn off that thing…”

“Wait, wait. Let’s not jump to conclusions. Uh, how about this? For the next week or so, let’s just monitor it. See how often you hear it, try to figure out where exactly it’s coming from. I’ll listen for it too. And after that, if you’re really convinced it’s the Kowalskis, we’ll go over and talk to them.”

She huffed at me, but finally nodded. “Okay.”

That night, she gently woke me up at 3 AM. “I hear it,” she whispered.

I strained my ears to listen. But there was nothing—only the soft sound of our other neighbor’s windchimes through the window.

I shook my head.

“It’s really high-pitched. Maybe you’re too old to hear it.”

“I’m only three years older than you.”

She got out of bed and walked over to each of the four walls. “It’s louder on this side,” she said, gesturing to the south wall.

“Well, that is the wall that faces the Kowalskis.”

Confirmation bias.

She slowly paced out of the room. I was so tired, but I forced myself out of bed too. She walked into the hallway, then into our guest bedroom. Shook her head, and started down the stairs.

By the time I caught up with her, she was going into the basement.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake.”

When I got to the bottom she was standing at the south wall, pressing her ear up against the cold cement.

“Jill, let’s go back to—”

She immediately shushed me. “It’s right here,” she whispered, her eyes wide. She motioned for me to come over.

I put my ear against the wall. But I couldn’t hear anything—except my own heartbeat. “I don’t hear anything."

“Are you serious?”

I shook my head.

“It’s so loud I can barely hear you.”

“Yeah, but… they wouldn’t put it in the basement. They’d put the noise stinger thing like, next to our bedroom or kitchen.”

I wrapped my arm around her and gently guided her over to the stairs. Held her close, smiled at her, reassured her it was okay.

But inside, I was starting to doubt my wife’s sanity.

***

Of course I wanted to believe my wife. But none of it made sense.

She heard a noise I couldn’t hear. She claimed it was coming from the basement, on the other side of the wall. And it was our neighbors, using some noise emitter as a weapon against us.

“But I don’t hear it,” I told her that morning, as we drank our second cups of coffee.

“Your hearing is worse than mine.”

I wasn’t convinced, but then she opened her laptop and sat it in front of me. “I was trying to match the tone I heard last night, after you fell asleep. And I think it’s around 17,000 Hz. Which is pretty hard to hear if you’re in your 30s like us.”

She typed it into the search bar and played a video for me. And, I’ll be damned, she was right. I didn’t hear a thing. Curse all that listening to Pink Floyd in my youth.

So that should’ve been the end of it. I should’ve trusted my wife, believed she was hearing some electronic pitch I couldn’t, and gone back to business as usual.

But I didn’t.

The next time she heard the sound, at 5:47 PM, I surreptitiously pulled out my phone and hit ‘record.’ And after she went to sleep that night, I downloaded an audio-editing program. I opened the file, and the proof was right there: instead of jagged blue lines showing soundwaves—

There was just a flat line.

I sat in the darkness in a cold sweat. There was no noise stinger, no vindictive plan by the Kowalskis, no noise coming through the basement wall.

It was all in her head.

***

It’s been two weeks since then, and things have gotten much worse.

Jill had been logging every time she heard the sound in her notebook, as part of our monitoring. But it’s shot up from about twice a day to more than ten. Sometimes I find her with her hands pressed against her ears, rocking back and forth. When I try to talk to her, she doesn’t even seem able to hear me.

Other times I wake up in the middle of the night, to find the bed empty. I eventually find her in the basement, banging at the concrete wall, tears streaming down her face. “Stop it,” she cries. “Please… stop it.”

I don’t know what to do. One night, after a particularly bad episode, I took her to the ER. But the doctors—including the psychiatrist—couldn’t find anything wrong with her. They insisted it was a form of tinnitus or Meniere’s disease, and gave her some medication to help.

The medication didn’t help.

I’m scared. I want to help her. But seeing her like this is driving me insane. I even went over to the Kowalskis weeks ago, when things started getting bad. They seemed as confused as I was. I’ve tried to track down the previous owner, the widow, as well. In case there was something weird about this house, like some radioactive noise-emitting substance in the walls. I eventually found her phone number, but she won’t answer my calls.

And then there was last night.

The last straw, that made me post this. I woke up around 4 AM to find my wife in the basement again—but she wasn’t crying or banging on the wall like before.

She was holding a hammer.

And she was frantically swinging it against the concrete.

“Jill!” I ran down the stairs and grabbed her by the shoulders. “Jill—stop!”

She kept mumbling something. About having to get through the wall. How she had to get to the source of the sound.

Right then and there I packed us up in the car and left for my mother’s house. Since we arrived she seems to be doing better—restless, troubled, not talking much. But at least she’s not saying she hears something, not pressing her hands to her ears, not swinging around a hammer.

I don’t know what to do. The doctors still claim she has a severe form of tinnitus and keep prescribing worthless medicine.

What is going on here?

Help us. Please.

OP, I would not let your wife go back to the house. It's clear that something there is impacting her deeply.

But I really think, for the sake of your family, you should go back without her and tear that wall down.

Please keep us posted!

I don’t think it will help when they find nothing and she still swears she hears something. I’m hoping OPs wife isn’t on meth or something because I’ve seen people on meth act exactly like that.

Maybe I’m wrong though and when she finds nothing she’ll believe it and it’ll go away or they’ll find the actual cause. It probably is worth some concrete for that.

As a person who suffers from tinnitus, this story is just too relatable. It's enough to drive a person mad. I've adapted to it, I use a white noise machine to sleep, and avoid quiet rooms, keeping either a bit of low music or a podcast on most of the time. But it's still always there, thinly veiled behind it all. That ever persistent, high-pitched private purgatory.

I believe she hears something, tho. I've heard sounds in movies and machinery that are definitely the same tone as my tinnitus. But I can always tell the difference between an external sound and my squealing ear.

I'd be curious if you dig what you might find. Perhaps before destroying the basement wall, you could try digging in the ground just outside the basement wall to start with. If she says it's coming from just beyond the basement wall it seems like a good place to start, and it's definitely less pricey than repairing a foundation in case you need to get rid of the place.

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

There's a trick that helps alleviate tinnitus ringing where you kind of thump your thumbs against the back of your head in a certain way. It isn't a permanent fix, but I've heard it can help for a period of time. I hope you and your wife can figure out something for the noise.

I have Ménière’s disease, and it involves hearing loss over the course of years and it fluctuates!! Not only that it can be accompanied by tinnitus for some people. I’m not saying it’s definitely this buttt it’s another possibility for you to investigate. On another note, I’ve heard of multiple cases where people who were having this exact problem figured out that it was a plug in device for deterring mice or other pests and they had super sensitive hearing and they could hear the device every time the neighbors plugged it in.

I thought I was going crazy one day when I walked past a house and heard a noise. It was in my neighborhood and I'd walked past the house hundreds of times before. It was a high-pitch ringing, whining noise. I ignored it. The next week, I commented on it to my neighbors. They hadn't heard it, so the group of us walked past the house (was between us and a PokeStop anyway) and only I heard the noise.

We ranged in age from 11 to 45, with me in the middle.

The person IS really neurotic about their yard and animals seem to avoid it, so maybe it's a motion sensor noise maker. Either that or I can sense serial killers. Dude mows three times a week, same pattern, same weird grass vacuum mower, and same creepy hat and gloves. Has to be serial killer sense.

If your wife's issue is just in the house, definitely needs an exorcism or wall murder.

Even department stores have things that emit a high pitched noise in their stores to deter teens and loitering. Infrasound is also a thing and it occurs naturally or as a result of many things working in just the right way. That sounds drives people insane and they cannot pick up on it.

To me, everything you describe points to some sound actually being there. Not all microphones can pick up all ranged of sounds as well. There may be a sound that it's not able to pick up.

I have really sensitive hearing and my so does not. Even some chargers emit a high pitched sound that drives me nuts while he can't hear a thing. Anything plugged in down there? Could be something behind the wall.

Keep your wife at the parents for a while until she calms down. If she's not hearing anything there after like a month, I'd say definitely not crazy and there's something there. If you take down the wall, you can bring her in to pinpoint where it's coming from for curiosity's sake, or MOVE. It's not worth losing her over

dramafanca2002 t1_j01dgw7 wrote

She may have a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. It can cause tinnitis, anxiety, depression, insomnia and more. If it started when you moved, there may be a power source nearby. You can Google to find power sources near you.

dramafanca2002 t1_j01e2sx wrote

I doubt it's meth. I've had the same issue for 21 years. I also have Menieres, so that could be part of the problem. There is no peace and quiet, it's an annoying high pitched buzzing that others don't hear. My doctor looked into electromagnetic fields near my home as some people can have a sensitivity. We're trying to figure it out but, because there are so many possible causes, it's not quick or easy to resolve. Someone telling you the noise isn't real doesn't make it go away, no matter how much you want to "belive it's nothing"!

Sound is physical, measurable and recordable so get her a recorder.

Otherwise tinnitus or audio psychosis (hallucinations) are suspect.

Loop earplugs, buy the one named quiet, it blocks over 21 decibels 👍🏼 also: come on. Try harder. Just hire some qualified person and break the damn wall and use proper equipment to understand the noise - or do it yourself, it's your wife and your life. It didn't have to get this bad, really. Also, if you're into spooky stuff: maybe the widow killed her husband a la Edgar Allan Poe and he's behind the wall and some health apparatus is emitting the noise. Who knows, right?

I was about to say that. My dad has one of those devices which is supposed to deter pests from his garage. I can't stay long in the vicinity of that thing, because to me it's really loud and annoying. Nobody else can hear it though.

myuee_chaosmonster t1_j01p289 wrote

Hmm, just a thought but maybe recording the noise with your smartphone isn't that foolproof. I know phones have a good frequency range, but it's also dependent on the model and software. Just because your phone can't capture it, doesn't mean it isn't there. Tried to record a "whining" wifi box once that drove me nuts, but my phone didn't pick it up. I'm in my 30s and I can hear high pitched sounds from electronics and other devices literally nobody else can hear.

Maybe try to locate the sound with better equipment....before tearing down the wall.

There are sounds from frequencies that most people can’t hear. She could legitimately be hearing something from the basement wall like she says and it could just be an electronic that is emitting the noise and y’all just can’t hear it and she can. It could literally be driving her crazy. Especially since she seems to not be hearing it now that y’all are not there. The fact the old owner won’t answer is suspicious to me as well why would she be ignoring your calls and not returning them unless she knows something is going on? Good luck op hang in there and don’t give up on your wife.

A lot of people are suggesting you tear the wall down, but maybe don't do that? It's in the basement and you don't know if it's load-bearing or not. Doesn't sound like a good time and place to get sledgehammer happy.

Anyways, maybe look into moving out.

If the owner of the house isn’t picking up your calls, maybe take it as a hint that there’s something wrong with the house.

Also even if your wife has tinnitus, she would have been able to hear it in your mother’s house too.

I've come across similar behaviour while working with people who have affected mental health. Usually accusing a neighbour of purposely flushing the toilet at certain times, messages through the radio or a car happens to be following them. This sounds like schizophrenia. Don't be too disheartened. It is quite manageable with the right intervention.

We are wrapped in wires emitting electro magnetic sounds and radiation… most don’t hear it or sense it. But some of us DO. No good asking for help in a culture who has to see to believe. Guided meditation with headphones… that has helped me to not “mind” it so much. The app Insight Timer, many choices to help with the nervous system and reactiveness. No Dr will ever prescribe a transcendent approach, but thus has helped me.

tjsfury t1_j03slko wrote

Had something similar happen (not that similar) with my wife. In the end it turned out to be a phone charger and every time someone plugged in their phone it would emit a high enough frequency she could hear it and I couldn’t (1 year difference in age). Probably not the same thing but think of anything electrical that is being used at those times. It is VERY hard to pinpoint the direction of that sound and if she gets it in her head that it’s coming from the wall it’s impossible to hear it from anything else. My wife swore it was coming from one side of the house when i unplugged the USB hub phone charger she never heard it again and we could plug / unplug it to reproduce the sound that magically teleported across the house.

RealEight t1_j03wkpa wrote

I mean I think she’s driving herself bonkers. The real issue is that she just needs to let it go. In time, if she really is hearing a high frequency, or if her wild theory is true, they will give up or her hearing literally will. I was 34 exactly when I could no longer hear that frequency. I used to test it a lot back in the day. Was fun. Anyway. Even if it’s real, it could be any number of things. Power lines, some appliance, tinnitus, atmospheric pressure (try opening a window) etc etc. I am surprised you didn’t cut the main breaker and shut off your phones just to see if it persisted, or go see a doctor. I would want to rule that shit out asap. Schizophrenia doesn’t generally hit people that late in age, (unless it’s amphetamine induced) but it can occur in the early 30s though far more rarely. Onset is usually 18-25. So doubt it’s that but I am not a MD. Does she take any prescription drugs like adderal? That shit will drive some people mental. It’s just legal meth. IF you wanted to record it, just to see if it actually is something so high, or low you can’t hear it, you will need specific microphones to properly record some ultrasound and especially so with infrasound. Anyways sorrry. Sounds like a real nightmare to go thru. I’m kinda hoping it’s a drug and she can bin that crap. The paranoia is what’s concerning. Good luck.

Probably some manifestation of anxiety. If going on vacation doesn’t happen to her, is it. Just to discard the source of noise, try sleeping with ear taps, she will still feel annoyed and hear it.

How to solve it? Changing her focus onto something else… but she should finding the true source of anxiety to her life, whatever it is.

So yeah I’m listening to the high pitch as I sit in my home now. I have had this since front row of Ronnie James Dio at Swing Auditorium San Brdo 1981. Back then they put these monster 6-ft tall speakers at least 8-front of the stage and Dio was ear splitting enough without front row standing. My ears rang for almost a week and then the ringing began. At first it was a lower doorbell like tone -good times ensued- but as time has passed I’m convinced it’s the internet frequency which keeps it alive - daily. Most of the time it’s like a white noise I don’t pay attention to but at least once a week the pitch jolts me upright - like wow man that was a good one, is what I say to my wife, and it passes within 5-10 secs. It generally happens at home - although 32 months of isolation - I forget a lot. Hope this is helpful. Good luck and best advice is provide her whatever she needs when it hits. Generally an acknowledgment that she’s not bonkers should do.

As a person with incredibly good hearing it irks me to read this. Most people by the time they're in their early thirties can't hear even half the higher frequencies they could in their twenties. This is almost exclusively due to damage to hearing through loud noises, which often affects men more and earlier than women. Although I'm male I started out with great hearing and did my best to protect it. To this day I can clearly hear those devices that people buy that deter rodents and birds. The high pitched whine of electric equipment that many claim doesn't exist is a constant pain.

The Microphone in your phone isn't designed to pick up the frequencies your wife is referring to, in fact most modern smart devices have filters designed to remove any audio beyond the average teams of human hearing. You're "proof" is just you being ignorant of how phones and ears work then assuming your wife is crazy. It's not difficult to get the right audio to test this properly.

Yeah sounds like to tinnitus... Sort of undetectable and even drives people to kill themselves. There are very few things that help, but sometimes you get a hearing aid with a contradictory sound that should cancel the high pitch out.

Somewhat, I randomly notice when I'm away from home sometimes (like Sedona AZ a few months ago) that it's not as intense. I can't find the site my doctor told me about but, it showed a power source about 300 yards from my home. So this is where it is most intense. Unfortunately there are a lot more power sources around than we notice, so my issues aren't limited to my neighborhood. Every state should have a site where you can see maps, I think you have to keep changing the power type though. I checked energy.ca.gov for CA.

You can’t detect such a high frequency noise with your phone alone. Also, by saying “flat line” I understand you haven’t analysed the harmonic content of that recording, but instead have just checked its waveform. This is not how you properly assess this, as your phone isn’t capable of catching such a high frequency in the background and you wouldn’t be able to see such s high frequency by checking the waveform, especially if this sound is very low in volume and quite hidden. There are many biases involved: one above all is the mic built into your phone, which for its purpose has a reduced frequency range it’s capable to catch. You’d definitely need a professional microphone for these kind of situations and analysing that recorded sound with the help of a proper audio editing tool, like Adobe Audition and use its spectrogram feature to properly analyse the sound.

You definitely should ask some audio professionals to assess the situation: make a proper recording of that sound and analysing it using a sound spectrogram. This is how you’d be doing in order to understand whether that sound is actually there or not.
