A low hum in Canada, Langley British Columbia

Oscillating, almost whining far away sound that cannot be blocked out by anything, plus pressure that feels like it is coming from the floor/ground, although months of detection shows no ground source for pressure. I feel it through the night and so does my Dad. Other family in house do not say they are really bothered by it. I've read that low frequency vibrating is like this - hurts some people, but not others. It is not farming, road work, hvac or heat pumps .... I've been looking all over the place with a sound meter.

What they reported

First noticed: 2018

Pitch: I think there is more than one frequency. 12 Hz & 37-44 Hz might be the nearest.

Loudest: Equal night and day

Where: Indoors

Symptoms: Ear discomfort (pain, fullness, throbbing), Insomnia, Nausea, Sense of vibration, Desperation/like I just cannot live without any sleep. I mostly sleep less than 2.5 hours a night.
