The benefit of this is that you can walk around the house and watch the display. If levels are rising, you’re getting closer to the source . Check outside the house, basement if you have one, etc.

Frequency Attack on my home!

I dont believe I have tinnitus, my mother did though. No this is something that has begun within the past 18 months or so. It's strange because I cant discern any specific frequency, but instead I always hear like an electric hum with subtle variations. Sometimes the combination of frequencies causes a great deal of discomfort, I can feel a dull throbbing pain inside my head. And eventually the sound stops, but a headache will persist for another hour or so. Also, I cant seem to detect any particular direction in which the source of the sound is emminating from. It seems to be consistent wherever I am inside my home. When I step outside and perform scans with Spectroid, the app still detects the frequencies but I cannot hear them. Only inside my home, which is really bizarre!
Check your place for interesting moulds.
I work with 5G and beamforming. Happily I can tell you there's not much application as a weapon. It always amazes me how people think that a frequency "knows" what it carries, like there exists "5G waves". Or that human body would tell the difference between 4G and 5G. Crappiest CPE ever I assure you.
But then again people think that copper knows it is carrying fragile audio signal too and electrons trip unmusically when it's not smooth enough.

Did you try the suggestion to turn off all power at your main breaker panel to see if the noises still there?

Most/all of this stuff is people with paranoid delusions that have joined together online to form more elaborate conspiracy theories, i.e. not real.
(e: I don't mean this in a demeaning way - it's a medical condition and not a fun one. But I want to try to reassure OP that if they're worried about such things, that they shouldn't be TOO worried about them being real, tangible threats.)
Your screenshot in post #20 doesn't show anything that would be clearly audible, looks like normal background noise to me.
An "electric hum" is usually pretty low in frequency, like 60-120hz. And, certainly, audible noises could cause headaches.
But there's also such a thing as "nocebo effect" - placebo effect in reverse. If you believe something is harmful, it ends up making you feel worse. So please just be assured that pretty much any sound (even if annoying) doesn't physically hurt you.
I looked into V2K and it seems very unlikely to be a real thing you could do far from the transmitter - at least without cooking your brain first. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

@UVxtal. Have you consulted a doctor? I ask while coming from a position of insight medically. I have mild schizophrenia (If it can be mild and I hear voices sometimes and the meds are helping.) because my oldest brother was sending me to grade 3 elementary school onwards with Columbian high test cannabis to smoke and oftentimes supplied me with large quantities of booze too. The doctor said no history of schizophrenia in my family, no reasons for it other than a very bad influence older brother. In full disclosure my head injuries (cracked a Bell cycling helmet into two) from in-line skating and motorcycle accidents where I damaged 2 helmets can contribute to it too. So with the combination of a bad bad brother and head injuries I have this now. You too may have something going on too.
Tinnitus may be alleviated by (background) noise so going outdoors sounds logical. A bit extreme example though?
Migraine?
As Doodski said, the measurement does not show anything harmful.
Ruling out sonic weapons etc. is easy. Ask someone to come over. A human is a human. No one can target you specifically.

Do other people hear these sounds?
Don't describe to them what type of sounds.
Just ask if they hear any noises.

"Is it constant? Try turning off the main electricity breaker, if it's caused by a (failing) piece of equipment in your home that should isolate it."
It can be any piece of an electrical motor (high amp) like in a central AC unit. This occurs when it is about to fail, check if either neighbor has a central AC unit or you are in close proximity to a transformer. It can cause headaches, nausea and after awhile; like you are going nuts.

You are likely hearing the worldwide "hum" that thousands of other people hear. It sounds somewhat like (my description) a distant diesel generator droning away at a low-medium frequency bolted to a cement slab, maybe a mile away.
It has been rather loud for the past several months at our place and at one end of the house (where the house supports are attached to the bedrock. Underneath the house (it's a pole home) it is louder but hard to hear except at night or early in the morning. Through the day, if there's no wind, I can hear it at certain parts of the house and outside. My partner cannot hear it, but wants to. I've told her once you've heard it, you can't unhear it and trust me, you don't want to hear it.
It has nothing to do with power- you can shut it off to check.
It is not local traffic/industry/planes/pumps as is there are none.
I've heard it in multiple homes, but homes directly attached to the ground (slab/poles etc) it is easier to hear. It's unlikely you'll hear it above a few stories as there's too much building noise and decoupling.
You can only hear it in a dead quiet environment. It's way below the noise floor of even my quietest interface and mic combination so you can't record it. All you do is boost noisefloor hiss and it masks the hum. Averaging won't find it.

Fascinating. I get rushes of sound of low and high frequencies as well as tinnitus. So I understand the awkwardness of such a thing.
Could it be related to the earths magnetic fields possibly flipping?, Or not flipping and nothing to worry about according to NASA but aren’t they considering building a base on the moon?, I bet they are going to hid out till it’s safe to come back to earth….sneaky NASA
What @restorer-john describes is like being in the vicinity of a hydroelectric dam and feeling the low frequency hum and whir.
My grandad was a marine engineer/mechanic in the 2nd world war then went onto be head engineer for the Galloway
Hydro scheme in SW Scotland based at Tongland in one of the hydro scheme cottages, I lived less than half a mile away from them so I was always hanging around and getting in the way as kids are prone to do, needless to say I was in awe of the massive turbines and sluice gates, overflows he kept serviced and the intricacies of the hydro scheme was such an eye opener to a kid there’s no wonder I did electronic/mechanical engineering at uni - and after standing feet away from an out flow in full flood I’ve always had a rational fear of water.
I used to lie on top of these turbines as a kid, total of 15,000+hp underneath me with an 11000kW of tingle juice and deep sub bass rumble,

Very cooL! As a young teen I got off on standing right beside a huge operational nitrogen compressor in a large building and one could look out the window and see the building where the Hanford heavy water was coming from in Canada. The compressors occupied large parts of the downstairs of the building, there was a row of them and the part I stood beside at the top is not even close to the actual size of all the stuff for one. I used to tour a major smelter operation and part of the by-product was a lot of acid rain so they made fertilizer too.
