See link below indicating that black holes do hum at a frequency calculated to be B flat, 57 octaves below middle c. The conclusion may technically be accurate, but it really has no meaning on a practical level. The gases around a black hole are on average extremely thin, and even if this sound is generated on earth at stp no human, and probably no living creature of any kind would be able to come close to "hearing" it. If there is no possibility that it can ever be heard, is it correct to call it sound? After all, not all electromagnetic radiation is called 'light'.

Why high voltage makes humming noise?

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.
