Stress is a factor
Hums Constantly. by Joan. (Fresno, CA, USA). My mother hums constantly, from the moment she wakes until she goes to bed. She's 87. It's not all humming either, it's grunting and hissing sounds. I've heard the same tunes and grunts and hisses for years. It's driven me bonkers. She hums while eating, while in the doctor's office, the car, anywhere.  I have the same problem, and I have to say, it's not just a nervous problem. I hum while watching TV with my husband. He says he doesn't mind, but it has to be bothersome. I work in stained glass and I hum when I'm grinding the glass, when I'm cutting it, and on and on. It is irritating to me. Sometimes I hum the same refrain over and over, others I hum random notes. I've tried to stop humming and then I started humming under my breath, which is very weird to me. I've noticed people looking at me in public and then realize I've been humming a little louder than normal. (Hmmmm … revelation … high-stress job, maybe that’s why I hum all the time.). I do think stress is a factor because sometimes when I’m particularly frazzled, I don’t just hum, I repeat the notes in one portion of the song, over and over, monotonously, like a stuck record. It’s kind of creepy.  Report This | Share this:I can't stop humming...Help!I thought I was doing it quietly too until my husband would say your doing it again.
