A low hum in New Braunfels, TX

Low hum, sometimes pulsating, sometimes not. It is very loud. It sounds like a propeller airplane way off in the distance, but it doesn�t go away. Or an 18-wheeler on a busy freeway, but we�re probably 8 miles away from a freeway and down a country road. I�m also extremely sensitive to smells. Like Starbucks coffee makes me sick, but the smell of a skunk doesn�t bother me. I can hear the sound of a TV being on even if the source is turned off (Like the DirecTV box being turned off, but the TV is still on and dark). I have to go to sleep at night with the TV turned on because of the hum, but I can still hear/feel it when the TV is on. There is nothing in this house that could be causing it...no AC unit, no water heater, not the fridge. When I go outside, I don�t hear it. If it were freeway noise from the highway 8-10 miles away, then I would hear it outside, too.

Pulsating low frequency noise, sounds like some sort of aircraft hovering in the sky. Could be likened to a train passing through a tunnel. The hum will wake me out of my sleep, with a sense

Low frequency, rumbling hum, almost sounds like the noise of a large distant war plane I first noticed this sound when I was about half way through pregnancy with my first (and only) child.

Sound reminds me of the far off pulsating drones of propeller planes that I heard as a child growing up in the city (Boston, MA USA). Yes. I�m sure, like other people who hear this hum,
