A low hum in USA, Hamilton

Non-stop hum/vibration that started 5/12/2017, 196 Hz I would like to have access to a website that reports progress in identifying or possibly eliminating this horrible sound. I would also like to find out more about Dr MacPherson's frequency blocker and whether it is available for purchase. Should I ask him personally?

What they reported

First noticed: 2017

Pitch: It is impossible for me to distinguish between, say, 190 Hz and 200, but 196 matches what I hear on the piano.

Loudest: During the night

Where: Indoors

Symptoms: Ear discomfort (pain, fullness, throbbing);Insomnia;Anxiety

Changes with weather: It is softer in winter, starting about Dec. 1, and louder starting mid-May. The frequency does not change.

What stood out: a low hum
