A low hum in United States, 30677

It is a low humming noise that I hear in the late evening hours, sometimes in the early morning if I'm up early enough. I've only heard it once in broad daylight..it lasts anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours. My 6-year-old son hears it sometimes, if it starts up while it's quiet on the house he will bring it up. My husband has never heard it, but he does suffer from hearing loss. I had never heard this sound at our old house, but started hearing it upon moving to a new house. Will mention that this sound has seemed to be connected to headaches - on nights when it continues for a very long time, I develop headaches that seem to have no other cause, so I believe them to be caused by either through sound itself or by the anxiety I get on nights the sound happens.

A low frequency rumbling, similar to a dispel engine. I've noticed the sound is remarkably similar to that of general frequencies of Earth recorded from satellites. https://www.youtube.

It's like hearing an engine idoling from far away with pulsations or when a refrigerator gets too close to a structure and the vibration channels to the upper room. Based on my pursuit to g

Powerful yet quiet sound, that goes through walls and is every where, yet no where specific. It can go on for weeks or months at a time, then just stop, and not be heard for a long time then
