A low droning sound originating in the alternating current power of an electrical device. In the U.S. the hum frequency is 60 Hz (approximately B natural), but it may be the first or second overtone of 60 Hz, that is 120 Hz (also B natural) or 150 Hz (approximately F sharp). In Europe the hum frequency is 50 Hz. Various reasons may be given for a hum in an audio system: multiple grounding, placement of components near a magnetic field, inadequate insulation, or faulty valves. Reversal of the plugs in the outlet, or plugs within the system,may alleviate a hum problem.
