We have a vibration and low humming noise going through the house. It is so bad that we can't sleep at night and can make you feel slightly sick after a long period of it. It only seems to felt inside the house and am wondering if it could be the water pipes. We have unplugged all electrical appliances and found no difference. Any ideas?

What`s goin` on? Do I sense a little lighthearted sense of humour creeping onto this forum :eek: NAY! NAY! & THRICE NAY, MISSUS!!..... OOOH..AHHH... PLEASE YERSELVES..... :LOL: :LOL: Sorry m8 but the only suggestion I could offer would be to ask wether you have some sort of pump introducing water to your house, or a pump on your heating system, could be it`s not supported properly & may be resting against your pipework. Just a thought. Then again...Nahh.. See if Rolf`s dossing down in yer loft, HIT him with a large kitchen implement...& ask him.. CAN YA TELL WOTITISYET???? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Try turning your water mains off. Is it possible you share one supply with a neighbour - this used to be common? If you turn it off in the road you'll soon find out..
Slowly-filling cisterns can make low vibrating noises, that's any wc, or tank in the loft. Changing the washer cures them, though plastic ball valves are best replaced with metal ones if you have a problem one.

Has the noise always been there (i.e. since you moved in the house?) or just recently (while you were living there already for an x-time?)

Could be coming from a course outside your house, vibrating through the ground (depending on the material of the ground of course)
 
Or maybe a woodpecker in next doors tree with a blunt bill. :D
