Can anyone tell me why all of my recordings seem to have an intense LF rumb=
le? I know that some of it is the recorder itself, as using a dummy mic sho=
wed some signal at around 75 Hz, but almost all of my other recordings have=
 this intense low rumble starting around 200 Hz and going down. Is it dista=
nt traffic? The Hum?

Here=92s a screenshot showing the signal from the dummy mic: https://www.dr=
