Well, honey, those power lines make noise because of something called corona discharge. When the electricity flows through the lines, it ionizes the air around them, creating a buzzing or crackling sound. So, next time you hear those power lines singing, just remember it's all about that electric dance party happening up there.

No, pylons (or transmission towers) are not electric at the bottom. The electricity is carried through the overhead power lines that are attached to the pylons. The pylons are designed to support the power lines and keep them elevated above the ground.
If the track is fed by overhead power lines then the track is the return path for the electric current and is at earth potential.That is 0 volts

I took coils of roofing nails and uncoiled them to make a strand of nails and zip tied them,point up, to my cable and phone lines that are overhead. But would not recommend this for your homes overhead 240/120v electric line. IMO
Yes, power lines can make a buzzing or humming noise due to the electricity flowing through them.
Overhead lines refer to electrical power lines that are mounted on poles or towers above ground level. These lines are used to transmit electricity from power plants to homes, businesses, and other buildings. Overhead lines are a common method of distributing electricity in many regions.
20 feet.
A tall metal structure that carries power lines overland is called a transmission tower or electric pylon. These structures provide support for the overhead power lines, allowing electricity to be distributed across long distances.
Overhead power lines are insulated from ground, typically using strings of glass or ceramic insulators. The wire itself is bare, though - it does not have insulation on it. There are many different types of overhead power line, but I'm not aware of any that actually have insulation.
Pantographs are commonly used by artists, architects, and engineers for scaling or copying drawings. They are also utilized in some railway systems to transfer electric power from overhead lines to the train's power system.
Power lines make noise due to a phenomenon called corona discharge. When electricity flows through the power lines, it ionizes the air around the lines, creating a buzzing or crackling sound. This noise is caused by the electrical energy interacting with the air molecules, creating vibrations that we can hear.
