A low hum in Faro (8000-123) - Portugal

hmmmmm I would like to add that iam the only member of the my closest members family that hears it. I live with 2 other people and they cant hear it or sense right in the moment when iam feeling and hearing it. Before the hum starts going more frequntly at night, ive heard and sense it a big and powerfull hum at around 23:00 PM in one particulary night, you could feel like it was coming from walls or from a sysmic activity that was makin the walls rumbling, it last for like 4, 5 mins. It was kinda freaky, none of my family memebers heard it except me. It last more low through all that night. After that day, it only became noticed at night in some days, not all the days. I can be like in front of pc with tv background noises and hum sudently starts from nowhere, even when people are talking inside home i still can feel or hear it at night once the sounds of the city (from cars, trucks, people, etc) disapear and make the city more quiet. NOTE - I dont know if it coincidence or not, but ive notice that once in while if a car late at night drives by my house, the hum magically disapears for a 2-3 seconds. Then starts again once the car pass.

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.

Low frequency rumbling sounds like it is machinery running in the distance or at first I thought it must be a tumble dryer or similar running in another house. It started about a month ago (

low, steady background rumble I wonder whether my tinnitus hiss originated from computer cooling fans, and the ticking from my bedside clock, and the Hum from 50 Hz A/C circuits. I have hear

It is a deep, low pitched, bassy sound between a hum and a rumble. There seems to be a slow, steady pulse to it. It reminds me of an engine idling off in the distance. I would swear it's com

A low, persistent hum that I can only hear at night - most nights but not every single night. It doesn’t have a source that I can find - it seems omnipresent and never varies in pitch or vo
