That buzzing sound is terrifying, by the way, if you're close enough to a very high voltage.
In some way it is comforting, you know the power is where it is supposed to be... Walking around a 11kV switchyard that buzz is good.
An interesting way to hear this without endangering yourself is to be near transmission lines in a light rain. Some go over a local park near me, and it’s wild how well you can hear it sometimes.
