A hum or other excessive noise can be caused by a misaligned or bent motor shaft. Likewise, this noise can be created if there is a minor fault in the transmission dividing the motor from the driven equipment, or even in the equipment itself. First feel the motor shaft for any obvious faults or bends. If nothing is noticeable, disconnect the motor shaft from the transmission and driven equipment, and then turn it on. If the noise is no longer present, then either the transmission or the driven equipment is At Fault, not the motor.

Depending on the motor, it may need the electricity to run through a step-down transformer or another form of power conversion before it can be used. If this is the case, then the transformer itself can create an audible hum of high or low pitch. Even f there is no power adaption, the circuitry which is present could hum with what is know as simply an "electrical hum."

Why does the engine make a humming noise near the alternator after you shut down the VW 2001 Beetle 1.8T?

Your engine might make a humming noise near the alternator after you shut it down because the fan is still running or because the fuel pump is shutting down. Another cause for the humming noise could be the AC motor turning off.


What component of a motor changes the induced AC voltage into a pulsating DC?

The commutator is the moving part of the electrical switch in motors that reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. This is applicable in electrical motors and electrical generators.

What is HUM and NOISE in radio specification?

While rectification pulsations are caused due to ac not being converted to dc perfectly. This causes hum (low frequency humming noise). To smooth these pulsations filters are used. Noise is an unwanted signal in the communication system.
