A low hum in 24297 Horby Sweden St Helena Island South Atlantic Ocean

An almost mechanical dull humming sound often punctuated with breaks of up to several minutes. Mostly noticed at night. I dreamily associate it with the sound of the earth rotating on its axis I was surprised to hear the hum on st Helena where I thought I was away from all possible or likely sources of general background noise and the sound was not coming from the limited number of household appliances. There is no traffic to speak of. Little urban infrastructure and few passing submarines!
