I had posted a question previously on GFCI's humming. I got the answer today.............................Inside the GFCI there is a small coil that reacts to differences in current flowing through it............................It receives electrical interferences sometimes and this causes the humming.................................Also, if the circuit is connected to a light which has a ballast this will make the coil hum also..................is that interesting or what ?

Not really :grin:.
Seriously, I've heard of some issues with florescent lighting being on the load side of a GFCI. I've installed a lot that way w/o any problems though.
