I have never heard it when it is raining. I will let you the next time that I hear it. I listened to the You Tube link and the hum that I hear is not so much a buzz... it does sound somewhat like a diesel engine at idle but not quite. That is a close description. I have excellent hearing and I am 58. I also am also fluent in Morse Code at speeds of up to 45 WPM and I have never heard any code characters. I have also heard it just stop... sometimes not returning until the next day... sometimes returning very quickly. I do think that it is using certain resonant structures as transducers because I can only hear it from one room in my house and it is not any external source because I have actively tested and eliminated anything within a 1/2 mile. I live in a very rural area and there is no industry nearby. I do hear a train that has tracks about 2 miles from me but that is distinct and is always heard from anywhere I go... including outside.

My house is framed in steel-a fad at the time it was built, 11 years ago-the power meter on the pole at the front of the property generates a faint hum that travels along the steel framework and can be heard through the paneling and drywall in most rooms. The first thing I did in my sleuthing was to shut off the power at the pole-the indoor hum quit instantly, but the other one was still heard/felt outside.

Your Description is identical to my experiences of the noise.
It must be emanating from the same ,or similar, source.
It is not the Train service,i live only half a mile from a High-speed line and the noise is still there long after end of service.
Unfortunately i can hear it outside, even in the middle of nowhere.
It has Freepers on its case now, somebody will know. :)
