A buzzing sound coming from a light switch means the switch is going bad and is shorting in the wall. Stop using the switch and replace immediately, this is a fire hazard.

What does the word buzzing mean?

Buzzing can be derived from buzz, an onomatopoeia for the sound, for example, a bee makes. Buzzing would thus be the present progressive of buzz, meaning it is currently taking place. Also, buzzing can mean something is popular and making a name for itself, like the more commonly used term 'trending'.


How do you fix a 1996 Montero buzzing turn signal switch?

If you mean that you hear a buzzing sound when holding the turn signal lever in the space between the off/centered position and either of the on/turning positions then the answer is you have ruined your switch. The noise you hear is caused by arcing electricity between the burned contacts inside the switch. These switches WILL NOT hold up to that kind of abuse, they are designed to be fully off or fully on only. Holding them in the middle is what makes them burn up. Your switch will have to be replaced with a new one, and you must ONLY fully engage the new switch (even if just changing lanes, no more holding it!). Hope this helps

Compare the speed of light to the speed of sound?

Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.
