What about experimenting with moving your bed to different parts of the bedroom where it could possibly absorb less vibrations?

All I could hear was the sound of my own breath. But I didn't have the rumbling issue which you do.
Thank you sincerely for the reply.

My unit is just a small single, maybe I'd estimate ~10x10 ft. room though so with things like my mini-fridge and table it doesn't leave much room for re-arranging unfortunately :/ I did try moving my bed to the opposite wall once though, but that wall is the inside one that connects to the hallway so I can really hear and feel the doors and everything slamming around there.

I do wear earplugs every night too though when I lay down to sleep. I found these silicon putty swimmers earplugs that are actually really great in general, but unfortunately not great enough and even with 3 box fans running (to stay cool and help mask the noise) and the ear plugs in I'm still able to hear and of-course feel everything, and, (also unfortunately) got a small piece that broke off stuck inside my left ear a couple weeks ago lol...

My mattress and box spring is on a metal frame, even tried putting cushions and pillows under the legs of the frame and I can still feel it plain as day just as much as before.
