Strange humming noise- driving me nuts

[Charlemagne]

Lately I have noticed that I get a really irritating humming background noise in most interiors. At first I thought it could be feedback or something with my speakers, but it is only interiors. It isn't heard in exteriors.
The noise is somewhat similar to that of fusion generators before you pluck out the core. Ideas?

It would have to be connected to the interior cells ambient sound if it is not actually an issue with your speakers that only appears with certain frequencys not used outdoors.

You could try adjusting the different sound levels in the games settings to narrow down what group is causing it for example if you turn down music or sound effects and the sound is reduced in volume it will narrow it down to the group of sounds adjusted by that setting.

OK I'll try that. Just reducing the global volume (with the dial on the speaker) reduces the volume of the noise, but it doesn't go away.

do you have the laser musket? that hums a bit

[Death Approaches]

oh yes it do. :-) ReeReeReeReeReeReeR but you'd hear it outside too.

Sound files can get stuck, atmospherics are usually tiny, less than a second, and if they get stuck "on", just open the console ant type fks (force kill sounds). It'll shut up everything, so do it right as your transitioning from one of those interior/exterior doorways, and should be fine on the other side.

Its just Fallout 4’s implementation of tinnitus. Can’t escape it.

Old thread Haven't played in a while. However, this was heard only in certain buildings, especially in hospitals or other "technical" places. I think it is something inherent to the game and not a bug. Similar to the rumble that is heard in some underground places.

I actually had to change the cable to my speakers to eliminate a hum noise apparently the shielding was poor quality and it was picking up some magnetic noise kind of like those old am radios do when you get near power lines.
