A low hum in Rockforest, Tubber

low frequency drone hum, idling diesel engine at a distance, slight resonance, brief reduction of intensity at random intervals (1 to 5 secs) My experiential opinion is this: The 'sound' is carried through the ground, and not airborne. House is located on a karst region of exposed limestone, low elevation, Brick wall, cement foundations, corrugated steel roof. House next door is timber framed and the Hum is far less audible. I live away from industrial buildings and have ruled out local electrical/mechanical sources.
