Kirk, that sounds like some sort of machinery, or perhaps
something like an AC powered electric fence "charger".
Note the mostly regular, repetative beat.

Can the noise be heard on lower frequencies as well, say 
below the BCB on 530 khz?   

I assume that you have checked out possible sources in your
own house.  If so, then the next step is drive or walk around
your neighborhood with a portable radio to see where the noise is
strongest.  

Hope that helps.
