I've experienced similar things from big hydro turbines and huge pumps even miles away. The low sound and vibration has a way of traveling and popping up miles down the road.

The sound I'm hearing is a low frequency rumble that I began hearing just before 4 AM this morning when it woke me out of a sound sleep. I'm still hearing it after 6 PM.

And a special thanks to the folks who identified themselves as assholes by posting some inane, smart ass, bullshit comment. Of course, you won't see this because I've blocked you. 🙄

It's a low frequency hum or rumble. It just started this morning.

It's very low frequency like a hum or a rumble. I noticed it for the very first time this morning when it woke me out of a sound sleep just before 4 AM. I thought it was a problem with my HVAC system but my system was not on. Nothing in my house was on the noise persists. It's after 6 PM and I still hear it. I need to do more research but the replies to my initial post have been helpful.

I wish there was a way to measure and record it.

He's talking about low frequency sounds that are normally below human hearing, but I suspect I might be capable of hearing them. (Some people can hear very low frequencies.)

I'm still hearing it after 6 PM. Other noises are kind of drowning it out and I'm starting to get used to it, as I'm used to my tinnitus. But I don't want that to be the case. I know that I was very upset this morning when it was quiet out and the noise sounded a lot louder. I can't imagine waking up every day feeling like that.

At that frequency range, you'll be feeling it more than hearing it. And it will be doing harm if the amplitude is high enough.
