FWIW......I didn't step outside as the sound was gone before I considered it, however if I had, it would have been with my 1911 loaded with "flying trashcans" as my buddy calls them. AND...had I heard something I suspected to be a critter, I'm not about to mess around with a pistol against a potential bear or mountain lion. They will get to meet and greet my 870 with its buddy Double-Aught along with its other buddies as backup i.e., Benneke Slugs in the side saddle. And yes I've been through a shotgun fighting class....so let the intruder beware.

Now I’m not sayin’ it was an MK-Ultra chupacabra with a battery-powered drone, doing random night work surveillance for a mandatory science project, but......

The Hum - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
A 1973 report mentions a university study of fifty cases of people complaining about a "low throbbing background noise" that others were unable to hear. The sound, always peaking between 30 and 40 Hz, was found to only be heard during cool weather with a light breeze, and often early in the morning. These noises were often confined to a 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) wide area.[2]
A study into the Taos Hum in the early 1990s indicated that at least two percent could hear it; each hearer at a different frequency between 32 Hz and 80 Hz, modulated from 0.5 to 2 Hz.[3]Similar results have been found in an earlier British study.[4] It seems to be possible for hearers to move away from it, with one hearer of the Taos Hum reporting its range was 30 miles (48 km).[5]There are approximately equal percentages of male and female hearers.[3][6] Age does appear to be a factor, with middle aged people being more likely to hear it.[7]:43
In 2006, Tom Moir, then of Massey University in Auckland, New Zealand, believed he has made several recordings of the Auckland Hum.[8][9] His previous research using simulated sounds had indicated that the hum was around 56 hertz.[10

Those listed frequencies are all quite low in the audible frequency spectrum - hearable by some, but not by others - the 32 Hz frequency will be felt more than heard.The Hum - Wikipedia

Are you in a known seismic area or fault zone?

NO.....I've played a Kazoo.
I'm really starting to think this may have been a drone. Though why at 4 am in the morning I have no friggen idea. Just very very weird. If any of my neighbors farted after eating beans and drinking a beer I'd be totally surprised. We - are - really - really totally boring up here.
I don't think we have Cicada in Southern California. I have lived in northern Virgina and have heard the "ROAR" of the Cicada. Nope that wasn't it.
We live in the San Bernardino mountains of Southern California...Yea, pretty much living on the San Andres fault. My DW and I have grown up living through many major earthquakes in the southland since the 1950's. So, not related to that.

A hum CAN have a basis! I worked in a bldg across from a Texaco tank farm processing place in Billings. The whole place had had a good going thru with a crew who go thru and fix, make sure everything working okay. Once it got fired up and back working, me and 3 other people in our bldg started feeling ill and hearing a very subtle weird noise we thought was the cause of it. It took them over a month to find the problem. Of course the men in the office and Texaco thought we were all crazy, but one of the affected was a man. Turned out there was some kind of a fan in the top of one of their tall stacks that let out nasty air had a fan in the top of it and it was malfunctioning. It was not something that you could really tell you were hearing, but it sure had a physical effect on us.

Many years ago while sitting in my living room I began to hear , very faintly, someone talking , then music. Finally tracked it down to my electronic organ picking up the local radio station. Did it again several days later and never again. Organ was turned off. Maybe something similar?

I hope you meant cambium!
Cadmium is nasty stuff, useful in many things like plating hardware, but major health hazard.

I hope all turns out well bro.....but if it was a drone that is NOT cool. You may have become someone's mark. Better off if it was a bear but it dont sound like that is the case. If you trust your neighbors ask them if they heard anything. (It wasnt your neighbor playing with a drone at 3 or 4 am)

It does sound like a drone. I'm always watching for them here because suburbia has landed right beside us. Rufus did wake me last night about 3:30 but it wasn't a drone he heard. Seems a pair of very amorous owls were in our big tree. Once I was up checking things out and heard them I knew it was all ok.
