A low hum in Omaha, NE

It is a low continuous hum that I began hearing once I moved from Seattle to Omaha. I hear it strictly in my bedroom. I hear it with earplugs on and with headphones on. I am very sensitive to auditory sounds. I even use Loop to block out these sounds. This hum is relentless and not my AC, refrigerator, electronics (I flipped my fuse box AND the city lost power one afternoon and the hum persisted. It is more noticeable or more audible at night. No
