Now, other strange sounds have been reported in different parts of Leicestershire.

Lynn Dawson lived in Castle Donington near the East Midlands Airport, and she noticed a strange noise.

She contacted the Environment Agency and Northwest Leicestershire District Council and was told that it must come from a 240v plug.

She said: "Then I started thinking. Dehumidifier? Surround sound? I'm semi-independent. I found out which devices and Internet companies are being used nearby in the settings of my phone.

"My neighbor has an HP office jet with two printers and computers.

"I'm fairly certain that this is what caused my buzzing. Anyway, I suspect that I have tinnitus."

Another resident said that the noise of Pavel may be caused by the activities of the quarry in the area, because heavy equipment generates low-frequency noise.

Closer to home, Andy Hill from Melton said that he also encountered a similar problem there. The noise sounded like a truck ticking on the street.

His wife ignored the noise until the greenhouse roof began to beat with vibrations, and his pregnant wife said that the noise caused her stomach pressure to be too low and made the baby feel uneasy.

He and a neighbor found a huge exhaust fan in an industrial area far from their home, and discovered that the noise was caused by dust on the fan blades.

Mr. Hill said: "Unfortunately, I have heard that it is like tinnitus and has never left your head.

"Thank God, we moved after we moved, otherwise I would go crazy."

John McKay responded to our story by saying that the large grid transformer may have caused the buzzing noise.

He said: "It is worth checking with the local supply authority, perhaps more or more powerful transformers have been installed recently, and whether they are now supplying power to a large industrial plant that started when the problem started.

"If this is the case, the power supply authority will have to test whether the noise/vibration has stopped by closing the new circuit."

He said that when a new transformer was installed a few years ago, his community had a similar problem, and a large sound-proof screen had to be installed to minimize the problem.

After the original story was broadcast, a resident of Hatfield Peverel, Essex even contacted LeicestershireLive. He has been "troubled" by annoying noise and power problems since June this year.

We previously contacted Western Power Distribution regarding Barwell noise and were told that there were no reports of works or accidents in the area.
