Power lines hum due to the vibration of the electrical current running through them, which creates a magnetic field that causes the wires to vibrate and produce a low-frequency sound.

The potential implications of this phenomenon include noise pollution, potential health risks from electromagnetic fields, and the risk of electrical fires or malfunctions.


How smart grid technology is being used?

With "Smart Grid" technology, power companies are using the power grid to send/receive RF signals. These high or low frequencies co-exist with the usual 60hz being transmitted across the nation. Eventually, with the installation of 'smart meters', they can read power consumption without coming out to the site, eliminating thousands of jobs, and some suggest even turn your power on/off from a remote station. This technology also allows them to locate outages faster and identify problem locations in power transmission. An under reported associated phenomenon is that of EMF (Electromagnetic frequency) radiation, where RF signals are leaking from the unshielded power lines causing some people to hear a constant low hum in their homes. (Google 'The Taos Hum', or "The Kokomo Hum' for more on this.) In some areas this technology is also being used to provide WiFi or Broadband over the power lines (BPL), since it is less costly than running miles of cable to reach remote areas already served by electric lines.
