For many instances, these problems occur for two primary reasons, both are NOT related to stray voltage or objectionable currents.

1. Lack of equipment grounding (bonding) conductors supplied with circuit conductors.

2. Lack of bonding of noncurrent-carrying metal parts associated with the circuits and equipment.

While true stray voltage / objectionable current issues are a serious problem and need to be delt with, many of these instances can be corrected by compliing with the current bonding and grouding requirements of the NEC.

I'll believe it when I see it (unless I step on the energized manhole first because I don't know where the sound is coming from or there is just too much noise from the traffic). This would be great though, for quiet suburbs. I just don't think the utilities are going to make the effort.

One minute at that website has me wondering if their product is as annoying... Maybe it's just Firefox, but the audio is obnoxious (at least put in a mute button)

It stated to push the "ESC" key to shut it off, but it didn't work. I have a 'mute' key on my keyboard that clammed it up, though.

Problem I see with it is that the noise may attract people to a hidden danger.
