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.

This exact same problem happened to me several years ago, and that's
exactly what I did... shut off all my breakers, but the sound was still
there, coming from the ceiling of one of my bathrooms. I was about
ready to start ripping the ceiling out, when I heard the neighbors
talking about the same thing out in front of my house. Turns out the
neighbor had a water leak, and the sound was coming from her meter.
Apparently the pipes carried the sound into her house and mine as well.

Strange, but true...


Yes, that is certainly plausible.

I'm surprised it was so loud, since I have about a 75' lateral from my
meter to my house. I'm sure she had a nice water bill that month.
