A low hum in Italy, La Thuile

Low vibration wavelike hum but I cannot hear it at all outdoors I have followed your instructions to try and determine whether the sound is indoors or outdoors and the results point to indoors but I've also switched off all electrical power indoors at night and the noise still persists. I've read on your page on detecting environmental noise with basic tools that even internal noise could be generated from an outside source. I have to mention too that around the time I first noticed the noise a district heating system was built in our village and we did connect to it at the time. It doesn't however explain why at times I don't hear the hum as it's always in operation
