Hi Steve- gas pipelines have long been suspected of hum involvement. If you have standing waves on your pool these should correlate with pipeline pressure changes, pump switching etc and legal means to gain production data to prove this nuisance can be pursued by class action to reduce individual up front costs. This will need some organising.
