A low hum in 91026, 56100

It is a low frequency noise, it isn't continuous and it is irregulary. It is a noise as a water pump in action producing vibration. I can't hear it every day, but the strange thing is that I can hear this in three different places, like Pisa, Turin and Mazara del Vallo, all of them located in Italy. The sound is the same in each city. The same intensity, frequency and irregularity.
