I would say low mileage is generally a good thing. Manufacturer warranties are usually 100,000 miles so after that you can expect problems. Order a vehicle history report on it if you can and/or take it to a mechanic for an inspection before you buy. And don’t be in a hurry to buy something, if you have that luxury.

I saw Corpsemouth by John Langan recommended in another thread. It’s not a novel technically but a collection of short stories. I’m only a couple stories into it but one of them was pretty creepy.

I hate them with a passion. And like OP, I can hear one at my place every day.

Have you tried meditation? I’ve had some luck with it in the past. You basically learn to hear the sound without reacting.
