Want a guess?

Isn't there some sort of movement of (or within) a conductor when Voltage is applied and current flows? Picture filament in a bulb as an extreme. And what happens when it changes direction as during normal operation? I've got to think there's some vibration going on there due to normal AC cycling.

What do you think?

Could you provide the whole quote (or as much as you can remember). I still think they were talking nonsense.

Sparky,

I think it's a good Theory topic, whether or not they knew what they were talking about.

What makes a Transformer Hum ... Hmm ?

Go for it ..

Could you have a "mile-distance"

or a "decible-sound"

or a "pound-weight" (wait, that sounds familiar...)

"Ya got some hertz-viberation goin' on here ma'am, that's real baaaaddd..."

(I think you got buffaloed too, Steve... sorry...)
