A low hum in Australia 3996

Low frequency drone First noticed with trucks testing ground for (what I understood to be) potential future fracking. The trucks would produce a very loud frequency sweep from low to high (until inaudible). This lasted about a week and was very distracting at night. Other people in my household and neighbours did not hear it and can not hear the low frequency sound I often hear at night.
