Weird water system noise
Last summer, my water system had the oddest noise, and of course in the middle of the night.
I used the toilet in the middle of the night(yeah, I'm an old guy too), and flushed it and my water system pump would run, and then you would hear a whining noise lasting for about 3 minutes, silence for about 2 minutes, then that cycle would restart, pump-whine-silence. Shut the pump off for the night, planning on looking at it in the morning.
Figured the pump was bad, so I took it apart. Found a small piece of silicon rubber stuck in the check valve. Removed that piece of junk, put it back together and the problem went away. I didn't really want to take apart the pump, as sometimes the gaskets and o-rings don't reseal very well, causing leaks, but in my case, figured the pump was bad anyway, so little risk for avoiding buying a new pump, but I didn't have to, as it sealed and worked fine afterwards.
Not saying this is the noise you have?
