Right in my city on my little boat launch island there is a string of 750kv lines that all the towers are encased by barbed wire fencing. I think those lines power my city, and part of our two neighboring cities. I havent been aroung them during rain or anything but they seem pretty quiet... I wonder why?
You have to be fairly near a substation for that many lines to be running together. They usually break off in different directions within a few miles of leaving one.
i remember when i was i child , i was going through a park with my parents , there was tall hedges/tree , the air was wet and the wires hanging around close ,near to the tops of the hedge. I don't know if it was a dream , because it was >10Years ago.. but i remember something to see small nearly noiseless arcs on the top of the hedges , the thin boughs were the arcs strikes into were dithering everytime after strike o.0 no i don't take LSD as a child...
@MetrakitProRaceII That is more scary than you imagine. We have a cherry orchard under these lines and were told by a BPA agent that a close tree branch with in range 10-20 feet could cause an arch that will travel through ground and kill you or burn down a structure. With the Smart Grid pushing more power to the cities us folks in the country have to listen 24/7 to this noise and cut down our fruit trees, our earning potential forever. Our grandkids won't have the farm ground available.
No it makes sense. Those hedges needed to get trimmed. Sometimes trees grow too close to the lines and at the start there's just a small arcing to them that's barely noticeable. Of course it may eventually burn a current path into the tree which makes the arcing grow stronger...
theres some around 5 miles from where i live that, no matter how humid or dry it is, they always make that sound. theres houses 10 ft from them. i should try to get a video of them.
@ActiveStorage Small enough amounts only on occasion are not enough to do major damage, but continuous exposure to higher levels will do it. Some people aren't affected that badly, while others are. More dangerous to kids or if you are down wind of the lines.
There are some high-power lines a few hundred feet from my house, and I've also observed that fog or any kind of high humidity makes them buzz quite loudly. I'm not sure why that is, though.
lot of people worried of cigarettes smoked into a car, cholestrol or sodium in their balisto snack,but a magnetic field near 100 microTesla is a worst health hazard...
Yeah .. we should all 'worry' too, about that 1/2 Gauss field we walk through (due to Earth's magnetic field) every day on our way to run errands, going to work, jogging, sleeping ... Come to think of it, I wonder if a steel frame on a bed makes that 1/2 Gauss 'field' any stronger or weaker while one sleeps ...
@uploadJ What would the field be on a 500kv line. The BPA agent at our house said they are doubling or tripling the load next year. We already hear them 24/7 and it buzzes your skin.
alotta moister in the air excites those high voltage lines. You'll hear the power coursing thru those lines jus as clear as day. thats technology at work for ya playah!

They should be pretty loud sometimes. I guess they are "parked".

They must be pulling a lot of juice through the line to get it to hum like that.

50 Hz are annoying if you hear them every day at work.
Thats the curse of the electrician isn´t it?

Should bring a fluorescent tube with you and see how bright it glows with you holding it.

I have 345KV lines not so far from me and I haven't heard any noise from them.

Transformers make a humming noise 60 cycles per second.
This noise is like a slight sparking noise.The more moisture in the air,the louder it gets.It is also the 60hz noise.
Watch the ones here where the guys work on 500000 volt lines live using helicopters to get right on the live wires and crawl along them.

The main danger posed by the high voltages is the creation of ozone (O3).

@jonathan3t22a and whats so dangerous about ozone? ozone is just an ionized oxygen

@ActiveStorage It is strongly reactive and will harm body tissue, specifically airway and lung tissue.

In Neshantic Station, NJ, they have SOOOO many 500KV power lines! It sometimes does and feels like Pennsylvania.

@patsematary The field is only at 60 hz. That's too low to be hazardous. Higher frequencies are more dangerous.
