Home noise strange

1977 Home noise, plumbing? Roof space?
Hi,
First post here.. We have a strange sound in our home, and are not sure to engage with a plumber or roofer or builder to resolve.
We bought our home in Adelaide Australia 6 months ago.
Since a week or 2 now we notice a sound as per video linked below. The sound occurs less frequent in the morning, during the evening the sound occurs increasingly to the point we hear the "vibration" every few seconds.
(The video is taken from under our kitchen sink as the hollow space amplifies the sound. I am not convinced this is where the actual "vibrating" is taking place.)
We have looked for windows, cupboards, or anything else in or around the house that may cause this sound. But we found it appears the sound is coming from under our floor, or from our roofing space.
Our second theory is/was; our wood burner flue vibrates on our roof with the wind, which resonates/amplifies in our roofing space. However, I've stuck my head through the manhole into our roofing space, and the sound isn't that noticeable.
In addition I've put my head in and on the woodburner, the sound doesn't seem noticeable.
Could it be our plumbing/pipe-work? The sound occurs without us using any water, we are not flushing, no dishwasher is on.. putting my ear on the floor of our home it seems very noticeable.
We would be happy to have a professional check it out, we just don't know which one to engage with.. e.g. plumber, roofer, builder?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Reinier
