A low hum in Predominantly in my bedroom, at night when all is quiet.

A very low hum. I thought it was potentially the electric current of my charger next to my bed. I went to the extent of turning of the mains power to my house in the early AM to determine the source. The humming s noise comes & goes but was very prevalent in 2018 & 2019 at my home in Torquay. No
