Low frequency but extremely annoying disturbing noise very hard to describe it used to weekends midnight now its every night and it wakes me up every midni2and morning. Its like massive MUSIC BASE sound when they closd all the windows but u still hear it and it shakes my ear curtain and i feel my ear bleeding . Or constant rumbling like a huge fan or air ventilation working nearby. As soon as i step out my flat it stops. Anr i have to leqve tv on to distracts me.
