    Let's be clear about terminology here. I am often trying to determine 
whether or not someone heard a "buzz" or a "hum". I define buzz as more of an 
HF noise, of no particular frequency. Hum is, in my book, AC line frequency 
(50/60hz depending what part of the world you are plugged in) and its 
harmonics: 100/120hz, 150/180hz, 200/240hz, 250/300hz etc.
    The two sounds tell a very different story as do the different frequencies 
of hum.
    best,

  I use the same parameters to distinguish between the two, but I should have 
clarified with the OP because, as you said, "buzz" and "hum" usually point to 
different causes.
