Some are only (!) 132kv. They are local distribution and tend to be quiet.

Don't climb up with your voltmeter! There is usually a notice with the
voltage. Long insulators = higher voltage.

Anyone confirm this and suggest at what distance the noise should be
inaudible?

Many thanks,

Lionel.


We have a pylon near where I work. It's very noisy when it's wet. A
colleague of mine opened his umbrella in the car park, and sparks started
to fly off of it! Personally, I wouldn't want to live near one - I guess
it depends on how close it is. Remember, you may want to sell this house
in the future, and other buyers may have the same concerns as you.
