Low humming

I still live in this house, and it’s supposed to be the safest place in the world—my family has owned the land for generations, no dark history, no creepy rumors. I always figured nothing supernatural would ever happen to me here.
Then, a little while ago, I started hearing a woman’s low humming in the living room—day or night:
“Mmm … mmm‑mmm …”
At first it’s so faint I have to strain my ears, but if I ignore it, the sound creeps closer.
“Mmm … mmm‑mmm …”
Let it go on, and it gets close enough to hear without even trying:
“Mmm … mmm‑mmm …”
Whenever I notice it, I repeat the last lines of the Heart Sutra—really, that’s the only sutra I know: “gyāte gyāte…”*1 I chant it over and over. The humming gradually recedes, but while it’s going on I can’t even focus on the TV.
The timing is totally random, and if I don’t catch it early, the voice actually slips into the room:
“Mmm … mmm‑mmm …”
Anyway, my favorite band just dropped a new album. I was hyped, bought the CD, rushed home, and listened to the whole thing on headphones. When the last track faded out, I pulled off the headphones, still riding the high, and right next to my ear I heard:
“MNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN—”
Yeah. That.

*1 The Heart Sutra is a Buddhist scripture; its famous closing mantra begins “Gate gate …,” often chanted for protection.
