You're hearing the ionisation effect of the surrounding molecules in the magnetic field. You'll hear it worse when its raining.

How does humidity effect power lines?
Electricity has the ability to arc or jump up to almost 20 feet. When power lines have a high amount of voltage running through them, and the humidity is high, the electricity can arc even more that 20 feet.
How does electrical energy get to your home?
Through the national electrical grid that is composed of conductors to feed individual homes.
What are power poles or lines?
um... isnt it kinda obvious? they are the cords that hang all over the place that carry electricity.
What causes a brownout?
There are many causes of power failures in an electricity network. Examples of these causes include, faults at power stations, damage to power lines, substations or other parts of the distribution system, a short circuit, or the overloading of electricity mains.
Describe domestic electricity distribution?
Generation: Electricity is generated at power plants, which can use various energy sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, or solar power. These power plants produce high-voltage electricity. Step-up Transformer: Before distribution, the electricity is typically passed through a step-up transformer to increase its voltage. Higher voltage transmission reduces energy loss during long-distance transportation. Transmission: The high-voltage electricity is transmitted through a network of high-voltage power lines and substations. These power lines can span long distances, carrying electricity from the power plants to regional distribution centers. Step-down Transformer: At substations located closer to residential and commercial areas, the voltage is reduced through step-down transformers. This process lowers the voltage to a level suitable for distribution to homes and businesses. Distribution Lines: Lower-voltage electricity is then distributed through a network of power lines and transformers at the local level. These distribution lines typically consist of overhead wires or underground cables. Distribution Transformers: Near or within residential and commercial areas, distribution transformers further reduce the voltage to levels suitable for household use, typically 120/240 volts in North America or 230 volts in many other parts of the world. Service Lines: From the distribution transformers, electricity is sent through service lines to individual homes and businesses. These service lines connect to the main electrical panel or meter at each building.
When did electricity come to Nevada?
It gets the power from the electricity lines.
What carries the electricity to your house?
Power lines
How do power lines be used?
to send power through them so that electricity can get to your home
What power lines send electricity over a nationwide network?
Transmission lines
Why are power outages more common during thunderstorms?
because the lightning hits the the power lines and electricity runs through power lines
How is electricity transmitted along power lines?
trougth wires
What gives electricity to the computer?
electricity gives display to the computer
How does electricity come to your house?
Electricity is produced in power station and then passed through to a generator. The generator passes the electricity through lines and then to another generator. it is again passed through lines and then to a primary customer which may be an industry or an electricity company. It is then passed on to a secondary customer through power lines through to your house.
What are the examples of electricity?
One example of current electricity are transmission lines. These bring electricity from power stations to individual houses.
Why power lines are made up of aliminum?
Power lines are made of aluminum, because they are exceptional conductors of both heat and electricity.
What are some example of electricity?
One example of current electricity are transmission lines. These bring electricity from power stations to individual houses.
Power lines (electricity lines) may snap if the temperature drops significantly?
