A woman tormented by a weird humming noise in her neighbourhood is having to drown it out by listening to Coldplay or sounds from the rainforest on earphones. The irritating hum has been plaguing Yvonne Conner, 51, for around three years.
The source of the noise is a complete mystery, but it has been dubbed the 'Holmfield Hum', after the area of Halifax where she lives. Yvonne, a professional dog walker, wants her local council to take action, YorkshireLive reports.
She said it has taken her to the edge of a nervous breakdown and gives her daily headaches. Only during the day does she get some respite as she can't hear the hum when she is in her garden or out in the countryside.
