A low hum in Solebury Township, PA 18938

I hear a low frequency noise. I first thought it was distant large diesel trucks coming up a hill on Highway 202. But when I open the window I do not ever hear the truck go by. I thought it might be the sound of mining, or boring under the earth. It is louder in my home than outside. I hear it most at night when I dwell on it. it is fairly constant, but does have intermittent pauses. My high pitched ringing in the ears seems to have subsided. Now I hear this low hum. I thought my hearing was getting better.
