I put my ear to the wall and checked various spots.the noise was about the same no matter where (on that wall, didn't exist on adjacent walls, my first clue) I checked yet outside I couldn't hear it (near major roads so some traffic noise made that difficult). I found the solution for my issue,so sharing for others.Ĭontext: NM w/Thanksgiving snow, but honestly not cold enough yet that I needed the heat on yet (tho I turned it on in fear it was my pipes about to burst, as well as running various water lines for awhile to no avail). If we do get it resolved, I will post our resolution for those of you having the a similar problem. I have unplugged EVERYTHING from the outlet on the wall which has vibrations, but that did not stop the problem.Īnyone who has a solid solution to this or knows what we should do, please help. I read somewhere it can be an electrical arc within the walls, so I am praying our house does not burn down. We will do that tonight to confirm if it is electrical. Someone suggested turning off the power at the main switch and seeing if the noise stops. I can only believe it is electrical at this point because there are only wires in the wall where the vibrations are occurring. We are having a new electrical panel put in within the next week or two, weather-depending, along with new grounding but this vibration just started happening and we already have the work scheduled. I have a wife and one-year old and am worried about a fire. It is very cold and we just had a blast of snow and more to come. I mention that because the noise was happening while both of those appliances were off, and neither of them are creating the vibrations. When I first heard the noise I searched through the house and while looking my furnace clicked on and my fridge clicked on. It is not a living creature, definitely a mechanical type of pattern. I have no appliances in the attic above or the living room below. It is by a street and hospital but is not being caused by cars or trucks driving by, I am sure of that.

There are no water pipes in this wall that I know of. Then it seems to quiet down but it comes back, soft at first then back to the heavy vibration. It lasts for maybe one second or two and seems to happen in a cluster and will go on for 10 or 15 minutes. At shakes the windows and wall and sounds very mechanical. I admit one outlet is overused and it is on that wall, right next to our bed that this vibration continues to occur. we have an old home with many ungrounded outlets. We are having the same issue! It started last night at 1am.

Sound goes quiet then loud windows 10
