A low hum in Park ridge Illinois/60068

Low frequency, highway white noise, metal towers being hit or something in distance. It can be so loud. It�s a consistent noise all night. Its driving me crazy. It�s starting to drive me nuts. I want to at least know what it is and maybe it would help put me at ease. But, if it starts to get any louder than it has been tonight, I might go freakin crazy!!! Seriously. I can�t sleep.
