To finally solve for this, I installed a set of 2.1 computer speakers under my bed, and I have my phone run a 10 hour recording I found of an air conditioner. The noise this generates sounds just like the real thing, and I keep it juuuust loud enough to drown out the road noise and upstairs neighbor's heavy footsteps. A click or two louder if their dog starts going nuts at 3am. I'd prefer actual quiet, but a low steady rumble is second best. Recommended highly.
