A low hum in Australia, Melbourne

Started off as a regular pulsating droning sound but has in recent weeks changed to an irregular pulse similar to morse code signal but at the same frequency. It has a deep bass quality that sounds like a heavy diesel truck descending a hill. How many consecutive nights have you been affected? On average, how many hours of sleep are you getting per night? Or is that not what this report is all about - raising awareness among healthcare professionals so the few of us impacted can get the help we need to continue functioning normally?
