Being surrounded by WiFi is a culprit I believe because when I’m out of the area and use a faraday bag, it greatly decreases. I get such high pitch sometimes it actually hurts & it’s a range of pitches. Sometimes it’s oscillating. It makes it difficult to think a lot of the time. I feel more drained than when I’m away from a lot of it. I can’t say for sure EMF/ELF is the cause but I distinctly remember it began when I got a smart phone & people in my apartment building began getting a lot of WiFi.
