An account in USA, West Orange

Like a constant airplane overhead, but the pitch moves around a little, and sometimes it sounds like more than one pitch at the same time. I think it�s the number one cause of my insomnia, and have been hearing it for a few years now, although not every night. Only ever happens at night and is definitely coming from outside, even though I can�t hear it when I am outside. I hope this helps. Would really like to know what this is for sure.
