A low hum in Winslow, England

A loud but low frequency hum that sounds like a car idling This hum is driving me mad, I get no sleep. It�s not in my head as it�s only in this location, it�s not outside and not any appliances, earplugs don�t help and I�m the only one that hears it. I have a recording of when it was loud to me but it�s too low frequency to hear it on the recording. Why me? I wish I could get help and understanding from somewhere.

Low frequency hum - amplified by confined space - eases using ear plugs, so have ruled out tinnitus - it's almost like a magnetic field, like an energy rather than a Funtington vibration, it

Low, deep, bassy oscillating hum. It�s not very loud but it sounds like it�s covering a wide area and it�s hard to get away from. It sounds �large� if that makes any

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.
