Its been doing it off and on for a while, I just noticed it because the

on - mostly when I have a load on the system - my computer, the dryer

like that. I describe it as a singing noise because its the sound that
metal makes when it vibrates rapidly - it doesn't do it for long -
maybe 1
to 2 seconds at a time.

What the heck is going on? It's a 100A non-grounded GE circuit breaker
box - no main breaker, installed in 1959.

Sounds like a loose connection, or if you have a GFI breaker it might
make some noise.


Originally that's what I assumed, a loose connection. After talking to a
friend he indicated that it could also possibly be a breaker going/gone bad.
Anyway I'm searching for an electrician as I write this.
