If there is a train stopped for a while at the station or at a signal there is often a low hum of engine noise - but that's fairly irregular rather than all the time.

Why do bees hum? 

Because they've forgotten the words.

Sorry about that; it's been a long day.

Something 'pinged' in my mind ... and I was correct. If you care to type "humming" in the search box in the top right-hand corner, you will find that there are no less than thirteen pages of references to past humming in these pages! 

And as far as I can see they are mostly about audio humming rather than ... any other kind ...

Will this is going to sound odd, but do you still have an old-school TV aerial on your roof? We have, and when the breeze gets going, it hums -- almost like when you blow across the top of a beer bottle? Just a thought.

Haven't heard it myself, Will, but similar things are much documented:

Is there a humming noise in Charlbury?  I suspect this has been asked before.  I often hear an 'irregularly pulsating' hum that can last days at a time.  When mentioned, though, a few people seem to hear it but the majority don't.  I never hear it when I leave Charlbury and noise cancelling headphones dramatically reduce the noise... so it's not tinnitus!  

Does anyone know what it might be / causes etc.?  It would be great if it stopped!

Thanks in advance.
