What is that constant rumble noise? Anyone?

Call me crazy. I live on Sterling/Vandy. There is the low rumbling noise constantly. It sounds like fireworks/thunder. I cannot figure it out. Anyone? Am I hearing things? Nope. I hear it now. 11/28 9:40 pm. HELP? Do I need a shrink?

Best,

Slag.

    do you live near the subway? (I don't live there, so I don't know if your street is near the subway)

    is there construction going on near you? sometimes they have those huge metal plates and when cars/trucks run over them it makes a big rumbling sound

    Thanks for the reply. It's def not that. It's sounds like airplanes..or low rumbling thunder. It's def neither. Someone has got to help me out here. Anyone?

    Fireworks is a possibility I hear them pretty frequently near where I live.

    I live right by this intersection, too. I haven't heard this low rumbling, though. This might be because none of my windows face the street, or because our radiators are noisy as hell. :)

    I bet you live on the first floor. Do you know if you have an oil fired furnace?

    Thanks everyone. No Furnace, and no first floor. It def seems like it's in the distance...But I am going to investigate the furnace thing. That is the best clue yet. It seems people could hear it for blocks.

    I think there is a school that has some sort of percussion meet. I thought It was fireworks as well but on a clear quiet night we figured it out. Band and/or percussion.

    I feel your pain. When we first moved into our house we had a small entertainment unit we plance in the front room of our house between the two front windows. We would hear a noise throughout the night when we would watch tv. After going nuts for a couple of days we realized that every time a car passed by the shelf holding the VCR would rattle.
    We also realized that terra cotta plants on our windowsill would rattle a bit when cars passed too fast on Underhill.
    Does it seem to happen when cars are passing? Do you have a manhole cover outside your home. Maybe its loose and when a car goes over it it makes a rumble noise for a few seconds?

    Wow...As all these seem like valid responses...I can tell you that none seem to sound as you are describing. Respectfully.

    I am going to investigate burner downstairs. That might be the ticket. Hard to tell. Keep your ears open for a low rumbling noise...sounds like constant airplanes far away, constant firework noises.

    Thanks to all!

    is your elevator dying? Serious mechanical problem would cause it...

    Aliens? Could be the aliens.

    true, we forgot to explore the alien connection. ...ditto, the intake of drugs. Jimmer, are you a drug user?
    Have you been abducted by aliens?

    I'd go with the alien explanation as we have them around here quite frequently although they tend to quite down a bit in the colder weather.
