Very low rumbling vibrating sound. A bit like huge aircraft taxi-ing on a runway. But lower. Constant. Endless. Relentless. The question "Will sounds like a bathroom fan or other background sounds mask the humming noise?" - depends how loud they are.. I sleep with a fan on to reduce what I can hear of the rumbling hum, but it's still there. If I play music really loud, then yes it masks it. But I don't really do that..
