He is very anxious and says they have wired something up to make the noises. He has hearing loss, but describes these noises as resonating around the building. I don't know what to think. I have spoken to owner who also has two children, 18 and 20 living there, and she is adamant there is no noise. I don't know which way to turn. Can anyone offer advice?
Most of my adult life I have had ringing in the ears. For me it's more like a mid range radio frequency. Once in awhile it will become a dull high squeal noise that last only a few seconds. I've become so use to it I don't pay much attention to it. And yes, a very quiet house will make said sound more noticeable if this is something new to a person. Like right now I can notice it because I am focused on it due to the question.
I agree that it would be a good idea to have someone spend a few random evenings at your dads house to check it out.
If it is ear noise and it is distressing, there are some medications that might help. I don't know what these are, but his doctor should know. Assure your father that it's not just him, that other people have problems with "imaginary" noises. Personally I have chirping crickets that drive me crazy on some nights.
You hear that? Well I do. Sorry your hearing is not as acute, or that the noise stops when visitors arrive. Send everyone away, test this out....have a secret person stay in the home while everyone goes out. What is so awful if your Dad is believed? imo.
Jeannegibbs gives a good answer.
However, it does show an anxious state if he is greatly disturbed by the noises. Try earplugs for awhile? See the doctor.
Two children, 18 & 20, ha ha ha, here comes Mom, or Oh, the neighbor has company, quick, turn off that very strange electronic music!
It just could be anything. Is Dad taking any meds that cause this?
