A low hum in USA, DeLand

A low hum with a specific pattern of long and short hums. Hear it mainly out of my right ear. It's not always constant. Some days I don't hear it at all and other times it's very loud (to me. No one else hears it) and other times, it's very faint that I have to actually listen for it. I've heard also the diesel truck idling sound during the times I hear the hum. I've shut the power off to the house, checked all my electrical outlet sources and still could hear the hum. I just had an audiologist check my hearing today and she printed out a report for me stating I have exceptional hearing with no hearing loss. Says I do not have tinnitus. The hum I've been hearing has been going on for about 4 years and no one else can hear it. I live in a rural area outside of a small town. There are no traffic noises, except for an occasional passing car or truck or commercial plane. There is a cell Tower less than a 1/2 mile from my home. There is also an orchid Warehouse and a couple ferneries down the street, but not sure if they are the cause of the sound or not. Their pump motors that run outside don't sound anything like what I am hearing.

It is a dull, so low frequency that it physically hurts my head and will give me a headache. I feel it in the back of my head, and it fills my ears like when you walk into a sound dampening

Low hum almost like a distant tug boat horn going off repeatedly My wife also heard it and it scared my 6 month old puppy who would not stop pacing back and forth until the humming stopped.
