Can the inverter split system heat pump produce low level frequency noise in a concrete building

I have a constant low pitch hum in my condo unit. It is present 24/7. My neighbor insists his new Daikin heat pump is turned off. I get headaches and feel pressure in my ears. It is really bothering me. Our condo building is concrete trusses and block walls

No...

Barbara Keevan (hello),

Pressure in your ears...Please... read this all... to the bottom.

(unless there is a full time transformer in it... then ABSOLUTELY).

Not even my nasty old solar inverters make noise 24/7...

Look for a mongo-sized transformer that is ON all day...
even a MUNDANE old fluorescent light in a garage area...

Transformers are everywhere... aaand...
they can be quite obnoxious!!

Happy hunting...
Please comment me back if you doubt my sincerity!

Oh by the way... Headaches & sensitivity to noise... ear fullness.
Have your ENT (ear-nose-throat DOCTOR) Specialist
run an ANCA ("P" or "C") titer test...
(ANCA = anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies) ...

EAR PRESSURE ...
1st symptom of WEGENER'S Granulomatosis, MPO, (et al).
Alternate Medical Specialty (avenue): Rheumatology.

((see links below))

You might be experiencing EARLY symptoms of an rare auto-immune problem...

When left to "PRESENT" it (they) can be quite catastrophic & can destroy lungs ... kidneys... etc. (I rather scare & not miss such an important opportunity).

Seriously (pay attention to your body)...
and remember: for every Doctor that graduated at the TOP of their CLASS... there was another on the very BOTTOM...

And again: Good luck with your hunt.
(may the second one be a complete waste of your time).

We have this constant noise that sounds like a generator or humming noise. It gets louder @ night. It sounds like it’s in the walls. I can’t sleep because of the noise. Who can handle this type of problem?

Probably heating or plumbing. If there is a pump that runs it could be resonating from the pipes in the walls . Transformers can also give off humming frequencies.

Noise Control and Being a Good Neighbour

Whether you live in a private dwelling, or in a multiple home dwelling, such as a condo or apartment building, one should pay attention to controlling the sound from home theatre and stereo systems. In this case, we are generally talking about managing the bass frequencies of the sound system. High frequencies tend to be absorbed by common building materials. The physical/mechanical aspects of sound transmission are complex, but the average person can apply some simple and inexpensive methods to minimize the unwanted transmission of bass frequencies beyond the listening space. <br /> Transmission of bass frequencies can often be controlled by placing bass-producing speakers on pieces of rubber material. These can be as simple as scrap pieces of rubber mat, salvaged rubber feet from other equipment, etc. The physical placement of speakers can determine the amount of bass frequencies that the sound system produces in the listening space. Generally, more bass is generated by placing speakers in corners, and along the shortest wall of a room. <br /> Of course, adjusting the bass and volume controls is a method that can be used to satisfy personal tastes or to control the sound in any situation. Many home sound systems now employ a subwoofer to provide enhanced bass response. This can add lifelike sound quality to the home listening experience, but it is probably the source of most noise complaints. The subwoofer channel of most video program sound tracks has more bass intensity than one generally finds in television, radio or music sound sources. To prevent disturbing the neighbours, one should employ all of the methods detailed above, to reach a happy medium of being able to enjoy full spectrum audio within reason. Personally, I ask my neighbours listen in their homes, while I adjust my maximum sound system volume to a level that they would not complain about. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

Subwoofer is hummig what is this noise

Hum is a constant low-frequency buzz, usually at about 60 Hz or 120 Hz, which results from voltage differences between true "ground" (what you'd get shoving a copper pipe into the ground) and the electrical "ground" of your receiver's chassis When this voltage differential exists, it's called a "ground loop," and the hum it produces is darned annoying. You'll hear the hum mainly from the subwoofer because it's a low-frequency noise, you will need a ground loop insulator they are about $20 at any electronic store

Hello Sir, Hi, if that is the case, your inverter board is generating audible high frequency noise. the inverter board is true to produce high frequency pulse needed by the LCD, but if should not be audible. try replacing the inverter board and see if the noise will dissapper .

My Icebox computer will not start up properly. When I turn the power on, it simply hums like an old television with no signal.

Hello,if your computer is old and the noise is low frequency but very disturbing and sometimes gets louder and then lows then is your power supply and you must change it.If the noise is more high pitch and it doesn't change frequency then should be the graphic card.If its like scratching noise is the hard drive.You must figure out exactly where the noise is coming from before replace anything

Can low steering fluid cause mechanical problems

Problems associated with low power steering fluid…

Hard Vehicle Steering
A low power steering fluid level can often times cause a vehicle's steering to become hard and labored. Adequate amounts of power steering fluid are necessary to enable a vehicle's power steering system to function and operate at optimum levels. A lack of power steering fluid in a vehicle's power steering system reduces the amount of hydraulic fluid pressure necessary to efficiently operating the various parts of the entire power steering system. Power steering fluid supplies the fluid force needed to operate the power steering gears and to enable power steering gearbox operation. Low power steering fluid levels reduce this hydraulic pressure, which commonly results in hard vehicle steering.

Pump Noise
It is very common for a low power steering fluid level to cause significant power steering pump noise. An adequate amount of power steering fluid is required to ensure the proper function and longevity of a power steering pump unit, which is a belt-driven pump responsible for housing and circulating power steering pump fluid. A low level of power steering fluid results in increased power steering pump friction, heat, and wear, all of which can significantly reduce the operational life of the power steering pump while at the same time cause excessive power steering pump noise.

Fluid Boiling
Many times a low power steering fluid level can result in excessive heating of power steering fluid, a condition that can seriously degrade the fluid and cause it to boil. A low power steering fluid level results in less available fluid to both lubricate and cool a power steering pump unit. A lack of power steering pump lubrication and cooling leads to excessive heat being generated within the power steering pump unit itself, a condition that translates into the available level of power steering fluid becoming super-heated and degraded. When this happens it is common for the power steering fluid to boil and lose all of its lubricating and heat-reducing capabilities.

Gearbox Wear
The power steering gearbox is a set of gears within a vehicle's power steering system designed to facilitate movement of a vehicle's front wheels. The power steering gearbox is connected to the power steering pump by hydraulic fluid lines that deliver a constant supply of power steering fluid to the power steering gearbox. A low power steering fluid level, especially a chronic and severe low power steering fluid level, can lead to increased friction and wear within the power steering gearbox assembly, a condition that can significantly shorten the operational life of the power steering gearbox and negatively affect its operation

Hey i want to know whether fridge requires DC power supply or AC power supply

DC applied to any standard refrigerator would quickly damage the compressor motor and any fans present since these are all AC only motors.
Some (probably no longer produced) units used DC in their operation; - Peltier Efffect units that used a semiconductor device that acts as a 'heat pump,' removing heat from inside the cabinet and dissipating it outside. - A new type of compressor that hummed like a low frequency speaker and surely used DC in the generation of the driving signal.
The first proved to be less efficient than our near century old compressor system and the odd low frequency noise produced by the second could not be contained adequately for home use.
