So far they have only added rubber bushings to the AC units bolts connected to the concrete pad-- helped some but seems to me that this house picks up vibration too easily due to metal in house structure/ceilings (studs/ceiling strips). Any experience & comments? tks
When I read your post the first thing that came to mind was the Taos Hum. Hearing is as individual as the person. We all have deficiencies in certain frequency ranges and the opposite is true, we have greater sensitivity in various frequency ranges. Two people in your home may not, or will probably not, hear the same noises.

What is the Taos Hum?
