A low hum in USA 19148

low pitched inner ear droning that i can sometimes almost feel in my chest. the sound is kind of like from a distant boat engine on the water or something closer like a machine or pump in the neighbor's house. whatever it it, it reverberates and comes in steady waves. it almost has a rhythm, but it doesn't stop. i assumed it was a big boat dredging a large river near my neighborhood when it first started. i'm just happy i found this info and this survey. i was shocked to see this is not an isolated thing. it gives me some peace of mind.
