A low hum in United Kingdom, Wales

Hum, low drone sound in waves, almost electrical The noise is sometime a huge fraction worse than usual, this evening being one of those cases. It sounds to me like some kind of electrical waves and it is not always present in both ears, usually just the left. This eve it�s left and right and is dreadful. I know it�s not me as sometime earplugs stop the noise, though the vibration is still going through my head. It is horrible. I went for ear testing and check for perforated drums, my ears are fine.
