That buzzing sound is terrifying, by the way, if you're close enough to a very high voltage.
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.
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.
