Weird rumbling, vibrating sound at night- anyone else dealing with it?

Since I can out myself as working for a wind turbine manufacturer I know that noise an interesting phenomena. You don't perceive the same noise level as the same at day and night. Things always seem louder at night because your senses change as you get ready to go to sleep. During the day there are also tons of other noises going on. That is why in Germany the noise level for a wind turbine on a residential house (we don't make the big ones) must be below 60dz during the day and 45 at night. Technically you also have more wind at night but I don't get the study behind that

Where are you located?

Any airports (even small ones) around you? We had something similar one night, it brought everyone out of their houses trying to figure out what it was. There were all were, yelling back and forth in the dark. gh: Turns out some small private company had contracted with a small local airport to test fire rocket engines at night.

Things you hear at night are almost non-existent during the day. We turn the volume down on the TV at night and in the morning we can barely hear it, yet at night it's fine. We live near train tracks, so we vibrate all the time.

It sounds localized to your area....where do you live? Are there mining, drilling, chemical plants, etc. in your area? Electric towers nearby?

I am in upstate NY, about 20 miles from bennington vt, 10 miles north of hoosick falls NY.

Yesterday I did have the vibrating around 2pm- which was a first, and I thought I could faintly hear the noise in my bedroom while I was putting th ebaby down for a nap. There's no airports here that we know of. Its a constant noise- it goes on for hours and hours with no breaks. wooomwooomwooomwooom. When I followed it 20 miles to the other side of bennington it did get more defined to where it sounded more mechanical; woooomcrunkwoooomcrunkwoooomcrunk.

This is a video I found recently thats almost exactly the same. I know it sounds like wind, but having heard the sound in real life, iam telling you it sounds just like this. Even when its windy out I can hear it beyond the wind.

I would consider contacting one of your local tv stations. The reporters around here LOVE researching this kind of stuff. My guess would be that it's some sort of industrial activity, especially if it's every night.

Several years ago, my mother started hearing/feeling a high-pitched sound at night. It actually gave her headaches, and she generally felt like crap. Of course, my father couldn't hear/feel anything. My SIL was working for the military at that time, and part of her job involved sound measurement for military health and safety checks. She and my brother spent a few days with my parents, and she brought some equipment. Turned out that the sound my mother could hear did actually register on the scale. There was a British Telecom R&D facility near my parents home. My dad contacted their public relations office, explaining what was going on. They, of course, denied that anything they were doing could be causing the noise. But it stopped. True story.

I hope you get to the bottom of this.

Thats the thing- its not every night. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for when it happens, or the duration.

Look what I just found- This describes it EXACTLY!

Its a stupid video made my those alien/nwo people, but what theyre talking about is exactly what we're experiencing. I've just called the local regulators to ask about wind turbine locations, trying to track it down that way. Wind makes the most sense since its not a constant sound.

look, here it is again. It sounds a lot like this.

Oh look, and another one.

Its a little higher pitched than ours. though.

The first thing that comes to my mind... up in Vermont, don't they mine granite?
Maybe they found a new mine in a spot that shakes you up? I'm not into geology or topography, but check it out...
Gonna look into this further.
