A low hum in USA - Arizona, Utah

A very low constant hum heard only when other sounds are not present. We moved from California to Arizona. My wife noticed it soon after the move and asked other friends to hear it and they couldn't but I could hear it. Ever since then She has had trouble sleeping with it unless i play music in the background to cover it up. She is very high strung to begin with and it gets in her head and won't let her sleep. Then I get in a quiet place wherever I go and it is there too. Please keep me informed of any findings or help to resolve any side effects. dennis@gobickers.com
