Low frequency, rumbling hum, almost sounds like the noise of a large distant war plane I first noticed this sound when I was about half way through pregnancy with my first (and only) child. It used to keep me awake and drive me crazy and it�s never gone away since. Not sure if that�s relevant but it was the first time I knew I was definitely hearing it (always complaining I could constantly hear something like planes) and my husband wasn�t aware of any hum or rumbling sound.
