hear it every night multiple times mostly between 12-4am, for months now. deep low sound, you can 'feel', last about 45-90sec. I also notice it while i'm the house.
everyone says 'its probably blah blah etc' until i'm outside with them to point it out, then they have no idea. no direction, seems to come from everywhere. just pay attention, its there, very noticeable here (between Grahm & Annandale Rd.)
...anyone else?

It could be that you simply have gas.

It sounds like air traffic. Those are the hours that normal flight paths are altered so as to reduce noise, but if the situation is right you might hear distant, consistent rumbling.

This morning, might, and a very limited might, might have been caused by an earthquake that occured in that timeframe in Missouri. Apparently it was felt as far away as PA/NJ. But that is a simple explanation, as for the other days, no idea but agree that resonance and other sounds from construction, can go on for long distances. Especially with a lack of other noises at that time.

Ive had a rumble wake me up late at night 3 times in the last week or two. The first time, i ignored it because i thought i had imagined it. The second time, it went on for about 15 to 20 seconds... I told my wife i thought i felt an earthquake (an aftershock) but there was nothing in the news about it. It happened again last night, just for a second or two (maybe longer, but thats how long it lasted after i awoke). I think this is happening around 3AM but im not sure... ill look at my clock next time
