do you listen to loud music or work in a noisy environment, are you on medication ? ........ it sounds to me like you may be experiencing tinnitus.
Tinnitus is a symptom associated with many forms of hearing loss. It can also be a symptom of other health problems. According to estimates by the American Tinnitus Association, at least 12 million Americans have tinnitus. Of these, at least 1 million experience it so severely that it interferes with their daily activities. People with severe cases of tinnitus may find it difficult to hear, work, or even sleep.
see your doctor for advice
Gonna have to go with bigwedgie on this one, too. My boyfriend, who is a musician, has tinnitus from years of playing loud music. The noise you describe sounds a lot like what he describes. However, if your friends and family are hearing it, too...

I dunno. Maybe try to record it and put it on here and see if we can hear it.
Reminds me...may be something similar but...
Does anyone remember a website a few years ago which had a cell phone ringer you could listen to and which claimed you could only hear the ring if you were like under 25 or 30 years old and anyone older could not hear the ring? Anybody?
