A low hum in Oxford, England

Originally thought it was thr bass line of my neighbors music bleeding through the wall, But it didn't stop. I also thought it was someone sitting idle on the street outside my house, but it wasn't. I looked around the house putting my ear on every possible wall and floor, but the sound followed me. It's a very low hum with a bass-y "feel" you can feel the vibration somehow from your chest. Also worth mentioning would be the weird headache which feel like its at the back of my head near where the spine connects.Sometimes there are breaks within this hum almost reminds me of a morse code. 20 mins later the infrequent breaks have stopped and it is now a continuous hum, which I prefer than the infrequent disturbances. Just my thought. I have a feeling it could be something to do with blood flow and I can somehow hear it.
