I'm not sure it was tinnitus because I only ever heard it in/around the
house. It was so location specific. I recall pulling up onto our drive
after a completely hum-free holiday and turning off the car
engine....immediately I could hear The Hum. Since we have been living
in Wales for the last 9 years I have never heard it.

I don't know what it is but I would not dismiss it out of hand as LF
tinnitus.

I'd say tinnitus would stay pretty constant when you move your head -
whereas something acoustic is likely to change. Nodes and things.

I've had an early Xmas present - next door have had a new boiler fitted so
the hum from the old pump has gone. It was very audible in my kitchen -
their boiler was mounted on the party wall. It's about the only noise I
heard from them - despite them having two young kids - so I just put up
with it, as it was like that when they bought the house.
