A low hum in United States, Gardnerville

A constant hum, I can't explain it really, maybe a motor or motor fan on all the time. I can hear it more at night when lying in bed. Maybe the sound is traveling through the ground. I don't mention it to any one because I am getting so sensitive to noise that I am afraid I am becoming a lunatic crazy person and people won't take me serious or will treat me like a crazy person.
