Caroline - That's exactly right on the button. I have a very sophisticated string instrument tuner that I use to tue my guitar. It tells me that the hum is modulating between B1 - 63.735 Hertz, and Bb1 - 58.27 Hertz virtually all the time. Lately, it's doing it right now, it's moved up into 314.47 Hertz - right in there between E4 and Eb4. My research has shown that wherever digital electrical meters and/or wireless broadband internet over powerlines (BPL) these frequencies occur. I have also found that it is localized - If you move away from an area into another that doesn't have either of the above, and far enough away from anywhere that does, the hum disappears. However, that is becoming difficult to do as the aim of this technology is "To bring "smart" appliances and internet access to everyone". You've had these "smart" digital electric meters in NZ for a few years now.
