A low hum in Berrien Center, Michigan 49102. I also heard it once in Fort Wayne

Low frequency humming noise. The frequency of the hum doesn't change, but there is a subtle pulsation associated with it. In a household of five, I'm the only one who hears it. I've been hearing it for approximately five years. I hear it most at night especially when I wake in the middle of the night when there is no ambient sounds in the house (TV, fan, etc). We live in southwest Michigan in a subdivision where our house is the highest in altitude (at the top of the highest hill). I've done extensive troubleshooting (I'm a Mechanical Engineer, so can't help it) and can not pinpoint the source. Google searches got me hear today. 11-7-18 Nothing to add, now.
