Can you identify this noise?

I live in a small, 10-unit apartment and have an ongoing issue with noise. There is a constant humming sound aroudn 375 hz that is particularly loud in our apartment and on our floor. We are almost right above the mechanical room which is in the basement and on one occasion I was able to go inside because the door was wide open (a carpet layer was storing his extra rolls in there) and the boiler seemed to be making a ton of vibration and noise but not at the same pitch. I thought maybe it was somehow making the pipes in the walls vibrate?? No idea, but here's a short recording of the sound that is going 24 hours a day and driving me and my fiancee absolutely batty:

Thanks in advance for your guesses!
