A low hum in USA, Carlsbad

A Low hum that I can feel vibrating in my ears. An exterior feel around my head and ears. It's a slow pulsating deep hum that vibrates. It is constant and I have realized it is not just in my house. I thought I was going to have to move. I almost feel like it's a Morse code because there is no rhythm. It is random in the pulsing part of the vibration. Just that I thought it was only at my house and searched around desperately trying to figure out what it was. Never could find source. Then I heard in my car in my driveway. Then I heard at my friends house down the street. Normally I'm at her house with a lot of people talking and music. I use white noise every night to go to sleep but I can still hear it. Mostly, it's the vibration I feel through my pillow. I feel the hum more than I hear it.
