Curiously, if that is the correct word for it, I, too, hear a curious humming sound in my home. It starts around six o'clock nearly every evening. It resembles an electric motor...the hum of an electric motor, to be more exact. I walk around the house
and the noise seems to be coming for everywhere. It's as loud in the front of the house as it is in the back. Maybe I got wax in my ears.....but if that were the case, wouldn't I be hearing less of the noise?

Please help me figure this one out.


Shut all your breakers off. Does the hum go away?

Turn them back on, one at a time, checking for hum.
