A low hum in Berkeley, CA

Evepresent tone different from normal tone of silence in the nature I thought this sound may have something to do with the three large airports in vicinity, a lot of air traffic and a presence of some navigation radars. But I am not an expert and do not know if this makes sence. I often go to the mountains where this sound never appears. Therefore I conclude it is not a natural sound caused by shifting ground at this earthquake active area. Also earthquake rumbling could be heard here sometimes and it is a different sound. Sometimes it is hard to endure this humming noise not just because of the sound but the pulsing throbbing sensation that wakes me up and keeps me awake till morning.

Very low pulsating rumble. Not unlike a distant diesel engine. I used to live near an alloy plant that had cooling towers with a very similar sound but this is much lower in frequency. The v

Low, constant, almost pulsing hum�like that of the background engine noise of the Enterprise on Star Trek: TNG or the 'glowing' hum of the nuclear reactor on the Simpson's; a little rap
