We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

If vibrating eyes is true, the noise is probably in the 30-80 Hz range, somewhere like an idling truck engine or a higher end subwoofer.
That type of noise is rarely heard by ears, but felt as vibrations in the body, and is mostly registered as physical discomfort and stress. At volume it would probably be enough to be very uncomfortable, but not necessarily immediately dangerous, it's probably on par with working in a large engine room.
Hearing protection will help filter any accompanying noise, and should help keeping your head clear even under the added stress. It will do little to lessen the low frequencies.
Low frequency noise has to be reflected through considerable mass and/or stiffness. Think walls or three pane windows, but also human bodies. Maybe forming ranks and rotating members could be a useful tactic?
