There's a noise I hear everywhere – and I don't know what it is

What is causing the low-frequency, undulating noise – like a car engine revving up – that my partner and I hear almost every night and sometimes during the daytime? We hear it wherever we are - at home or in compete isolation by the sea or in the countryside, far away from industry. It is not inside out heads – if we stuff our fingers in our ears, we cannot hear it.

G Bradley, Tiverton, Devon
