Car electric charger or solar panels making house buzz/vibrate

Has anyone experienced this. We live in a new build been here about 1 yr.

Last night started to hear a low buzzing/hum on a night. We’ve have tried everything we can think of buts its not anything in house and we haven't set anything new up.

It was after midnight as I’d had to finish a work project. Not been up that late in a long while but never noticed it before when up that late.

While we were going round the house listening and checking we noticed an insanely bright green light shining in the back opened curtains - we have new neighbours over the way - they’re about 7 meters away but currently still a cluster of houses to be built between us and them so currently nothing in between. The light was blinding even fro
this distsnce it was so bright and it was kind of blinking.

When I looked online this morning there’s a lot of people complaining about the noise their neighbours units make.

This would be an explanation as to why we’ve not heard it previously- they’ve been here less than a month and we’ve probably not been up around midnight since before that.

Other thing is the solar panels but surely would have heard before now. And weird it started just after midnight.

Neither of us could sleep and resorted to sleeping tablets at 3am feel grim this morning.

Solar panels and (home) car electric chargers don’t make a noise.

what makes you think it’s one of these?

to state the obvious, solar panels don’t do anything at night

How would solar panels make a noise at night?

Could it be a heatpump? They do make a faint noise. Unusual to be using it in the middle of the night in summer tho.

ours isn’t noisy at all but some are.

Our converter thing on the wall in the hall makes a high pitched sound when it’s working hard pulling power fro the batteries/solar/grid

no to the vibrating house though !

Has a neighbour got a hot tub? They can be quite noisy.

I know I'm stating the obvious, but could it be your Fridge freezer?
