A low hum in USA, Albany

A low frequency pulsing hum, thats rather fast pace. I thought it was just trucks idling, as i live near a stop sign on a busy road. But, began to realize i only hear it at night and its louder inside. Its just a low pulse hum that i hear almost every night, for about 5 minutes or so. Ive looked out my window at the time of the hum and seen no cars yet the noise continues.

What they reported

First noticed: 2018

Pitch: Around 100. I couldnt find an exact match. Its about that frequency but more smooth.

Loudest: During the night

Where: Indoors

Symptoms: Ear discomfort (pain, fullness, throbbing)

Changes with weather: I havent noticed. It started just about half an hour ago, and now its raining and the hum is gone. But thats about all i know.

What stood out: a low humpulsing light
