A low hum in 6026, Kingsley

Quiet hum that gradually got louder as the hours went by, building up to a point where I could feel the hum, but also my body and my head were in this state of distress because the noise and vibration was too much for too long. Only spanned an afternoon and evening, and was gone when I woke up. Only audible in my bedroom at the back of the house, no difference if I opened or shut my window. By the end of the night I could feel it better than I could hear it. The hum was a solid hum, no pulsing, just slow escalation in intensity. Did not sound like fridge, aircon, air purifier, etc., did not sound like cars or trains. I hope this helps
