A low hum in USA, China Grove

it sounds like a deep humming noise. when i first started hearing it and it started to affect me it reminded me of an old plane propeller (1900s), but from a distance. it doesn’t sound very close and doesn’t really ever sound like it gets closer or farther away. it only bothers me at night and it keeps me awake, mainly because i’ve associated it with a war machine i suppose.

A low-frequency, usually "throbbing" hum. The amplitude changes a bit, at a frequency of about 2 Hz. I hear it constantly in my house. When I go outside, I often hear other mechanical sounds

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.

A low hum that can slightly fluctuate. It reminds me of the sound of the old oscilloscopes. I only hear it at night, generally after 1 A.M. and it awakens me from my sleep. It keeps me awake
