Have definitely narrowed it down to the boiler next door - it starts when it comes on and continues untill it goes off , from a gov website LFN or low frequency noise can sound louder within the building - the resonance/ noise comes through the garage door which faces our wall - might offer to pay someone to check it - had the Enviromental health people round but the wife was out (hopefully the neighbours did not see this as we dont want to cause any trouble they are difficult enough to deal with as it is) i would like to see if we can measure it as proof

Its a glowworm boiler running on LPG - we get the hum when the thing is puffing and as its seems when it is not puffing so it could be something else in the garage - but
Does this type of boiler run fans at any time when the flue is not puffing ?

8) start a waar of attrition, when the noise starts at night nip over the fence and put a plastic bag over the flue for a few minutes, the boiler should lock out and require a manual reset, remove bag. keep doing this until they decide to get a new boiler because the engineers cant fix it.
Have started a discussion but its my wife to the women of the house (ie the technical people) the guy is very difficult to deal with rationally - the biggest difficulty is thats its worse in the middle of the night and my hearing is not good enough (or bad enough) to hear it - i asked the question about this type of boiler because we still get the noise when it is not puffing smoke out the flue which tells me either the pump is running on continuous or the noise comes from another source.
"Puffing" ?? If you mean pulsing, that's a boiler fault, I would suggest.
If you mean a steady white "plume" that's normal when the boiler is condensing. It'll only condense when things have warmed up in the house and the boiler isn't working so hard. When it first comes on, it probably won't be condensing and you'll see little or nothing from the flue.
I saw on "brainiac" that a very low frequency can make one's colon resonate - and empty.
I'd speak to glow-worm. You may need a corgi to do it for you cos mfrs can be like that.

have you thought about screening [temporeraly or perminant]
like a plant bush or tree
or even try a sheet of ply and a layer off insulation
just to try and find out what helps
another small point if the flue encroches onto your land you can get them to move it
