We live in a neighborhood that is close to the high tension lines that run along the east side of TV. One of the towers has been making quite a racket and I'm wondering if it should be reported to the power company.
Please note that this is NOT the crackling/buzzing you hear about which is exacerbated by rain or high humidity. This is a metallic sound which ranges from a loud vibration to an equally loud grinding sound. There is no pattern to it except that it seems worse at night--but it isn't every night and it won't occur all night.
Weather conditions like wind don't make it worse which leads me to believe that it could be related to how much "juice" is running down the wires.
Just wondering if any of you engineers out there have any theories on what's going on? I can't find any explanation on the Internet.
Tonight it's clear, no wind and the thing is absolutely rocking and rolling! I don't imagine that this is normal? If you think that the power company should be contacted, does anyone know who owns these high tension lines & towers? Thank you in advance for your help with this!
