A low hum in Salem, Oregon 97317

Low pitched hum, like a plane engine, pulsating I can�t pinpoint exactly when I started hearing the hum. I know it�s been several years. I have asked my husband on occasion if he hears it and he says no. I have at times heard high pitched sounds but they quickly and come and go. The pulsating hum is always present when I am in my house but I try to ignore it. It is during quiet times that it is annoying.
