It sounds like a plane to me. Whatever it is starts out high pitched and gradually gets lower, meaning whatever it is is moving past the person who recorded it. (due to the doppler effect)

Im from hull too but i was asleep at that time lastnight.
They are saying now that it could be russians because we have had to scramble jets to them a couple of times in the last week. but if it was russians how did they get so far in land and why wasnt no jets at the time or afterwards?
maybe people have mistaken the eurofighters noise and it was them heading out to sea, if so then maybe thats why the military have denied it.
thanks

Dear Mr Covell,
Thank you for your e-mail regarding a low flying aircraft over Kingston upon Hull; I have been asked to respond in my capacity as a focal point for aviation related environmental enquiries and I trust that you will find the following information useful. Firstly, I must point out that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is not directly involved in the provision of air traffic control services and does not monitor individual aircraft movements; consequently, I am unable to confirm the operator of this aircraft and provide further information regarding this specific incident. However, the following information explains the airspace structure above Kingston-upon-Hull and the rules and procedures that apply to aircraft operating within it.
Civil pilots must always observe the Rules of the Air (RoA) Regulations, which state that aeroplanes (including helicopters) are not permitted to overfly a congested area(1) of a city, town, or settlement below a height of 1,000 feet above the highest fixed obstacle within a horizontal radius of 600 metres of the aircraft. Away from congested areas, aircraft are not permitted to fly within 500 feet of any person, vessel, vehicle or structure. It should be noted that this is a minimum distance, not a minimum height; the distance can be measured in any direction, not necessarily vertically. However, please note that over congested areas, the 1,000 foot rule is relaxed for the purposes of landing and taking off from a Government or licensed aerodrome. Over un-congested areas the 500 foot rule is relaxed for the purpose of landing and taking off.
Should you consider that an aircraft breached these regulations, then the CAA may be able to investigate and, if appropriate, prosecute. However, before the matter can be pursued through the courts, there would be a requirement placed upon the CAA to provide a high level of positive evidence, particularly identification of the aircraft and details of supporting witnesses. Therefore, in any instance where you feel an aircraft has breached the RoA regulations, it would be most helpful if you could provide the aircraft registration (usually on the underside of a wing and/or the side of the fuselage, e.g. five letters starting with ¿G¿ for UK registered aircraft and ¿N¿ for American registered aircraft) or details of any other witnesses of whom you are aware who may be willing to assist our enquiries. As long as the RoA are not breached, the flying activity can be deemed entirely legitimate.
It is a possibility that the aircraft in question may have belonged to the Military. Although they will, wherever possible, try to minimise the impact of their operations, military aircraft are not bound by the RoA regulations due to the very nature of the operations that they are required to train for and carry out. The CAA has no authority over military aviation as this remains the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Whilst I will log the details of your enquiry onto our database, I would recommend contacting the MoD Complaints and Enquiries Unit, as they may be able to provide further information regarding this particular incident. Please use the following details should you wish to contact them regarding this matter:
Finally, I have attached a number of environmental information documents that may be of some use. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information or should you require clarification of any point. Regards, Mark
Mike Covell, Hull
