The restaurant downstairs is not cooperating. Its technically their vent so they have to do what's necessary for the isolation. They do not care. They are awful people do deal with. I bough Bose headphones and they help! Will move out when i can. There was somebody in the city council who helped me then but now in my area after the pandemic and with the help of the new awful administration of Adams+Hochul, everyone is pro restaurant and the city won't touch the LL's nor the restaurant businesses whether they are invading pedestrian sidewalks, excessive garbage/rats/roaches or noise/smell/odor/vibration etc.

I am sorry you are going thru this, I'm sure it is horrible.
I have like xray hearing, I can hear low rumbles from far away, it is so annoying, and I know it is me.
The tenant under me, her living room coiling fan is from the 80's and when it is on I hear the rmmm rmmm rmmm and it sounds like a washer on the spin cycle, luckily she had moved many years ago and her mother lives there and never uses the fan, until recently
that she now has a home care aid, as she is an old lady. Lucky it isn't on all the time, but she is a nice lady and i know the daughter for 34 years, so I wont say anything. I just hope the fan breaks as it is so very old. LOL
There are times I like to lay on my couch in complete silence but if that fan is on and I hear the rmm rmm, rhythmatic, it can drive a person insane. Now if anyone came over they would not hear it...but I can.
Also on Sunday mornings for some reason I'd here this low rumble, never can figure out what it was, seems like every Sunday I'd notice this as I wake up and lay in bed.
What can it be?, I racked my brain, couldn't figure it out.
Then I figured it out. It was the airplanes taking off from JFK which is very far from my apartment, but I can see them in the distance, and I was able to trace the noise to it, as it disappeared into the sky, and so would the noise, then it would start again as Id see the next plane, every 30 - 60 seconds, It doesn't bother me as it is a very very low rumble, but point Im making is the low frequencies for some reason can just be heard.
ugh....**sigh****
Try to move if you can, I know easier said than done, and if you find another apartment, look out all your windows and see what you see. Are there roofs with HVAC equip on them, a bus stop, etc, anything that you think would be annoying.
I live down the block from the elevated train, but I don't mind that, but someone else might
