A low hum in France, Cherbourg 50110

It is a sound that I woke up with, suddenly, three weeks ago, low frequency, vibrating, with small ups and downs, constant, all day and all night long, 7 days a week. Ear plugs don't help much. I hear it indoors, in our house. It doesn't come from our electrical equipment. I turned everything off and still can hear it. It seems coming from the ground and makes the house vibrating but it is not percievable outside. I don't much hear it elsewhere, just in our house. Yes. A good question would be: have you talked about it wth your family, neighbours, nearby installations, the authorities. The answer is yes.
