It's a busy intersection of highway 110 between Whitehouse and Tyler Tx. At that intersection is a large water tower and at the time two other cell towers all with 4 and 5G panels. While just sitting there in traffic a sudden multi toned sound came into my head/ears. I would describe it as a high pitched ringing. It's about a 6000hz frequency. It never has gone away and has been 26 months now. I'm 65 and never had a problem with tinnitus at all. Look at the symptom dangers on this placard that telecom techs put on cell towers.
