Aren't there a lot of underground caves and tunnels under the centre of Bristol?
Maybe it's some kind of air resonance, and the tunnels are acting like organ pipes.

People started noticing the sound in the late 1970s
Don't recognise the other descriptions either. Everyone I walked with noticed it and was noticeable outdoors including North of the city centre, near Ashley down.Last edited by xoggoth; 12 April 2016, 16:48.bloggoth

As for sounds being only heard indoors, can't be a*sed to search for it, but apparently it can happen that high pitched sounds reduce and become audible when they hit glass. It used to be the case that in some parts of our house it sounded like it was raining heavily outside when it wasn't. Pretty sure it was noise from the brickworks furnaces nearby although all you could hear outside was a faint high hiss.bloggoth

We are way outside Bristol and can still hear it. I had never heard of it as a phenomenon and just assumed it was the power lines. Thanks for pointing it outComment

Sure it's not a combination of PC whining about his right to claim JSA, despite being a contractor, mingling with MM whining about generation Y's housing options, despite being 38? Bristol must be about halfway between the two. Must be well annoying.Comment
