I’m at the gym and there is some annoying song that must be popular or was recently. The last few minutes just seems to be a constant one note buzz. There is a light drum track in the background and an occasional vocalized syllable every few seconds…but its dominated by that incessant constant buzz. I have no idea how ‘new’ this song is, I stopped listening to new music in 1980. ---

The climactic sequence of **28 Days Later** has a metal instrumental piece called “In the House, In a Heartbeat,” which kind of buzzes for the last 2 or 3 minutes.

not that one. I wonder if I search for songs and just go “RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR” if it will pop up. ---

That’s not the same song I was hearing at the gym. It was annoying and I want to know what is annoying me. The one linked was actually pleasant. The one I’ve heard sounds like the droning of an airplane engine. One monotone sound…not even a ‘note’ in the sense that its a repeating strum of a guitar string. Its just a constant droning buzz. ---

Well, the next time you hear it pull out your cell phone and go to the Google search bar, tap the little microphone and say, “What song is this?” I love this feature as I am in the same situation as you regarding newer music. ---

I raced to my phone, but didn’t get there in time. Next time I notice it, this is my plan. I actually tried verbally ‘buzzing’ into my phone, but i ran out of breath before it decided it didn’t recognize the song. ---

What style of music is it? Any lyrics you can recall before the buzz? ---

I can’t really tell, partly because I’m oblivious to the song until the buzzing part, and partly because I’m ignorant of current music styles. Its not Rap, I can tell you that. Just seems like standard ‘post-millennium popular music.’ No lyrics that I can recall, as I’m not paying attention…except during the buzzing portion there seems to be an occasional punctuation of a ‘Yeah!’ or some sort of vocalization…maybe once every 10 seconds(?). ---

No Reason, by the Chemical Brothers? My current favourite track, mostly because of the video. ---

Do you know where the gym is getting the music? Is it a streaming service, or an in house recording? You may be able to get a directory of what has played recently, and check each song. ---
