If it started after a cold it could be an Eustachian tube catarhh. Do you suffer from symptoms of allergic rhinitis as well? Kindly do a consult. Alternately you may start alternate nostril breathing exercises as well as a guarded Valsalva manoeuvre ( will be available on YouTube). By any means do not try to search for the sound. At night turn the fan or ac on to mask the sound.
Next Steps
Video/in person consult
Health Tips
Do not do a forceful Valsalva
