The high voltage does not make a humming sound. In fact, it is possible to create a high voltage line that does not make any sound. Still, you hear a sound. What you are hearing is the high voltage making something vibrate. In the United States it is vibrating at 60 cycles per second which is about A# 3 octaves below middle C. In Europe it is vibrating at 50 cycles per second which is about G# 3 octaves below middle C.

What would cause a shower faucet makes humming noise?

A humming noise from a shower faucet can be caused by several factors, including water pressure issues, a worn-out washer or cartridge, or loose components within the faucet. High water pressure can cause vibrations in the plumbing, leading to humming sounds. Additionally, mineral buildup can affect the valve operation, resulting in noise. Inspecting and potentially replacing worn parts or adjusting water pressure may resolve the issue.


What is the TTL high noise range?

TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) high noise range refers to the voltage levels that are considered acceptable for a logic high state in TTL circuits. Typically, for standard TTL, a voltage above 2.0 volts is interpreted as a logical high, while voltages below this may be seen as low. The high noise margin is the difference between the minimum high input voltage (2.0V) and the maximum output low voltage (0.8V), resulting in a noise margin that ensures reliable operation despite voltage fluctuations. This margin helps prevent false triggering in digital circuits.

You have a consistent humming noise coming from the front wheels it is not so noticeable at slow speeds but gets louder at higher speeds you think it might be the wheel bearings it does have 103000 mi?

it would most likely be the bearings but in some cases sometimes the axle make a humming noise when traveling at high speeds.(front wheel drive)


Why humming sound occur in extra high tension transmission lines?

The noise is better described as 'buzzing', rather than 'humming', and it is caused by the breakdown of the air's insulating properties, due to stress caused by electric fields set up in the vicinity of where the conductors are supported from insulators. The noise is accompanied by a pale blue discharge which becomes visible after dark.

How noisy are high voltage power lines?

The reason is power arcing.See section "Common Noise Sources" at:http://www.w8ji.com/radiated_and_conducted_noise.htmAnswerThe noise associated with high-voltage lines is caused by the breakdown of the insulating properties of air due to the intense electric fields established at 'sharp' points on the line which act to concentrate the field at those points.
