Constant noise in my house like a humming and vibration noise

Question

I have a noise that is constant in my house. Almost like a humming, vibrating noise. I have tried turning the boiler off and the fridge freezer and even turned all the electric off but the noise is still there and I haven't a clue where its coming from. Not sure if I'd need am electrician for this or a heating engineer I just want the noise found and sorted but not sure what trade is best. Hope I can get some help

Hi, it’s possibly something from next door that the have mounted on a partition wall between you and them.. other than that if you have shut the electric off completely it may be vibrating pipework, I thought it may be an extractor fan on low constant mode but that would of stopped. Hope this helps

is the house semi detached as noise could be coming from next door . is there any place in the house where it is louder . Do you have solar panels as it could be the transformer . Are there any wind turbines close bye  . Do you have a water pump to increase  your water pressure . Are there any old strip lights in the house

Colm · Answer

A humming noise can come from air in your heating system, when the boiler is running the pump will be under pressure to work causing it to hum .

From a plumbing point of view. It could be the central heating pump, the heating pump runs for a while after the heating is turned off to disperse the heat..
There is also a noise called " water hammer" that can be quite loud , from pipe work not clipped properly ..that is normally from the mains pipe either filling a tank in the loft, or toilet cistern .
Hope this helps

i have come across this before if it is near the pipe that the main water feed comesin from the road side the pipe work or T bend that is in the road will constantly make noise you can report it to your counciler and get the water company provider to do a check as it will not be in your property and will have to go through them

Paul · Answer

Possibly been caused by the filler in a toilet cistern that needs its washer replacing. This causes a deep droning sound.

If property terraced?  
In first instance I would ask my neighbour if they can hear it, sometimes its not coming from your own house.

Secondly, I would turn the mains electric off, if it disappears, I would turn on each circuit until you identify which circuit the item is connected to.

Also try to turn the main water supply off to see if noise disappears.

If the above two doesn't work its likely not coming form your house.

James · Answer

If you are hearing the noise whilst the electricity is off it is unlikely to be electrical.
It could be an extractor fan but these would normally be mains powered.

Try to switch all power off on the fuse box and see if the noise spot, and 1 by one turning it on. to see if you need a electrician.
If not working with the power off, try with stop water valve.
