A separable Hilbert space has a countable subset dense in its norm topology.

The printed assertion about all locally square-integrable functions is false. The proposed average is not even finite for every such function: for $f(x)=x$,It also fails positive definiteness. The nonzero function $f=1_{[0,1]}$ hasConsequently this formula cannot define an inner product, much less a Hilbert space, on $L_{\mathrm{loc}}^2(\mathbb{R})$.

A precise version of the intended nonseparability argument uses the mean-square completion of trigonometric polynomials. Start with the real vector space $V$ of finite linear combinations of $1$, $\cos (\lambda x)$, and $\sin (\lambda x)$, with arbitrary $\lambda >0$. Product-to-sum identities show that all the proposed cross averages exist. Distinct frequencies are orthogonal, each sine and cosine has squared norm one, and the constant function has squared norm two. Thus, after collecting equal frequencies,This is positive definite on $V$. Its Hilbert space completion $H$ contains the uncountable orthonormal set $\{\cos (\lambda x):\lambda >0\}$. The distance between two distinct members is $\sqrt{2}$. Their open balls of radius $1/2$ are pairwise disjoint, and a dense subset must meet each one. A countable dense subset is therefore impossible: this corrected completed space is nonseparable. Completion is an essential additional construction; it does not validate the printed claim about all of $L_{\mathrm{loc}}^2$.
