A biker passing by saw me staring up at the pole and said it's all up and down 30-A, not just mine. :idontno:

FROM LINKED "MOISTURE": Power lines produce an audible sound or buzz because they are producing something called a corona discharge that is interacting with the surrounding air.

What a coincidence..:blink:...I get a buzz when I discharge a Corona.

This sound of buzzing power lines was the norm in New Orleans.
