What would cause a panel to hum or buzz besides poor connections?

I heard on the news a while back that a woman’s vibrator was making a humming sound in her luggage and was found by airport security.


Was the panel in the bedroom?

Bill,


There are several reasons that could be causing this and the first to come to mind is....

It dos'nt know the words or ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif)

It dos'nt have lips so it can't whistle or

The most probable being a loose panel cover or a loose screw or something in the bottom of the panel.

I just had to add a little humor or attempted too.

Damn Joe,


You beat me to it. My vote is the lack of knowledge or familiarity of the proper lyrics eusa_dance.gif

No lack of comedy on the Nachi board - interesting replies. There were no transformers and the damned thing hummed when the cover was off - I guess it just didn’t know the lyrics!


Thanks guys for your responses.

The humming may be coming from a breaker but every time I have tracked it down it was something loose in the panel that resonated with the 60hz magnetic field produced by the load through the breakers. They all have coils in them.
