A low hum in Netherlands, Zutphen

almost inaudible low bass, coming in waves with different durations and interruptions Outside the door, the sound is masked by noises like traffic and birds etc. Indoors the sound is easily masked by computer fan, fridge motors, heating etc. Because of the soft and low frequency you need good ears and a silent place. Because of the low trembling ear protection doesn't help much, I think the sound is resonance from heavy machines: gass transportation lines or high-pressure metal rollers used in industry nearby.
