check all light fittings in house including any nearby street lights , old style ballast can cause a low  hum noise when they get  hot, 

Hi
no its not in my house it’s vibrates through my house, I’m thinking it the ASHP from a nearby heat pump that has been installed

Try earplugs?

Could the thing you're hearing be mains hum?

I’ve tried earplugs and it somehow makes it worse, my neighbour three doors down has fitted a heat pump but it’s not in as yet due to him still renovating, I’m thinking it could be vibration from ashp?

It isn’t constant now, but sat outside I can hear a whirring noise, it vibrates through my house- worse upstairs

That doesn't make sense. If it's not in and working there's hardly likely to be vibration from it?

Have you decided that its noisy because you've seen it and people have told you that heatpumps are noisy? Even though most people have never seen or heard a heatpump so its mostly hearsay.

TBH I've never heard one vibrate. My unit is 15 years old and has two big fans to blow air through the external heat exchanger. There is no mechanical noise whatsoever. I have to actually put my ear onto mine to hear the compressor running. Any noise that is generated is the air going through the fans

ASHP just means Air Source Heat Pump, its not something that comes from the heat pump, it is the heat pump. It can't be making a noise if its not installed yet.
I'm sorry you've got an annoyance in your home, I know it's maddening, but to solve the issue I think you'll need to consider other factors

Vibration in the house for us tends to be the grain dryer on the nearest farm, or roadworks.  It's definitely not our or our neighbours' heat pumps.

My money is on it being your fridge.  Ours sends vibration through the house at times, but it's bearable.

Since the neighbour is renovating my money is on drilling/a temporary electric generator.

Hope you've got it sorted @Judrop69
