A low hum in Australia Qld Cannonvale 4802

A very low frequency hum usually occurs at night whilst in bed although I have continued to hear it when trying to isolate the source. It can at times sound quite loud but for the most part it resembles distant machinery. It seems to come and go in that I can go weeks without hearing it and then I will hear it nightly for several weeks. I have for years discussed this with my wife and it is only recently that I have discovered I am not alone. It would be great to get an answer.

Hum, deep. Mostly only at night. Not always present. The hum or pulse does not have a discernible pattern. Sometimes short rolling, but steady pulse with longer extended steady sessions . So
