A low hum in Belfast, Northern Ireland BT12

Can go from a low humming noise to very loud humming noise/vibration in both ears which can be very hard to drown out. It's like a pulsating hum that is not a flat noise so to speak, like it is loud-low, loud-low constantly. Have gotten used to it despite being annoying at times. How to make it stop! :-)
