A low hum in Prague, 15000

Deep humming, like a truck engine, generator, pump somewhere further away. At first I thought it was a neighbour. Sometimes it gets really loud. I hear it mostly indoors, when I open the window I cannot identify anything. I also heard it already outside when I went outside to identify the sound.
