Low frequeny hum post...
Not trying to steal the thread but I’m posting here only because I’m utterly unable to get past the RV net verification robot...I find this glitch quite often and without any resolution...

In a previous house of ours, almost out of no where this nearly same identical sound affect would occur. My wife never noticed the sound until I brought it to her attention. The house set back from the street about 150’ and before too long a time I noticed that this sound pattern repeated like clockwork starting about every third morning at around 06:30hrs and lasting for about 1.5 hrs then it would suddenly stop...
Since there was a pattern, it seemed to me that it must be of a mechanical nature, but because the noise was faint, try as I might it took some time to sleuth down the offending culprit which turned out to be the 150’ away water meter down by the street...Without our knowledge, a few weeks earlier the city had replaced our 30+ year old water meter with a new wiz-bang smart meter that created this noise every time the drip system would kick on per watering schedule!...
So I complained to the city and eventually they admitted to me that the sound was real and was due to a cheap version of the new meter, and that a better unit could be made available in particular cases like mine... Nagging problem was then successfully resolved...
