Loud humming starts as soon as I put bread in and depress the lever and
stops when toast is done. Toast is still done properly. I've tried
pressing on the side of the casing and in certain places this deadens the
sound somewhat. Tried Googling but can't find any explanation.

Possibly the magnet that holds down the mechanism until the timer
releases it. Maybe has a crub on the face that is causing the bit that
sticks to the magnet to vibrate.

It is almost certainly crumbs in the solenoid that holds the pop up
mechanism in the down position.
Open it up and clean it out.

My brother in law had to throw theirs out because it started humming
in another way, for reasons best known to itself their cat climbed on
to it and crapped in a slot.
First they knew about it was the funny smell at breakfast time
followed a few seconds later by hot cat turd and toast pinging up.
Almost makes toast toppers or pop tarts look good.

Does it always hum the same tune?

Well providing its not arcing anywhere, easily tested with an am radio,
then most likely some of the wires on the heating element are vibrating. If
the toaster is a metal body one these tend to be more prone to this I have
found. I guess eventually the element might fil due to the movement but at
present, asuming no arcing, its just an annoying thing.
