A low hum in Greece (Crete) near Xania (Chania), PC 73100

It seems like a 50~60Hz hum which I usually only hear late at night. Typically if I wake up around 3pm or so I start hearing it and sometimes have trouble getting back to sleep. I have turned off the main breaker etc to the house but when I do it is still there. The power here in Crete is 50Hz so to me it sounds a little like the hum you hear from florescent lights though I have none in my home. I only really noticed it about a year ago though I have lived in Crete almost 5 years. I notice too there is only one hit in Crete over by Iraklio which is about 2hrs drive from where I live. I just learned about this on the Thunderbolts Project YT Channel today:
