This sounds sort of nuts, but at times I have been able to hear a very strange, low sounding hum. It isn’t like any sound known to me. It is strange, to say the least.
#14 Those are the bed bugs shouting in your ear and hearing the echo : )
We can hear it about this time of year in middle-of-nowhere West Virginia.
Neighbors very far away. No traffic. Nothing running.
We hear it this time of year because there are no insects or animals making noise at night. Has to be very still, and we can only hear it inside.
The only possible explanation I can come up with is some pipelines several miles away. I’ve cut power and gas to eliminate anything in the house.
Luckily, it’s not loud enough to be disturbing. We really have to purposely listen for it to hear it, but my wife and I both do.
Lots of people hear the Great Hum. Boffins claim it is just tinnitus ... either that or mass hallucinations, or they hearers are just plain crazy because there is no such thing as the Great Hum; the Earth does not hum ... hummm.
It makes no difference whether one is inside or outside, but is often more pronounced when lying down. Inside hum is often louder than the outside.

A good friend of mine used to be bothered by low frequencies he could hear. Four years in Marine artillery corrected the problem.
