If you’ve been noticing a vibrating noise in wall, it’s important not to ignore the issue. While you may be able to tune it out over time, there are a few issues that could be causing an intermittent buzzing sound in houses, some of which can be serious. We’ll list a few reasons why you might be hearing a humming noise in walls at night to help make you better prepared to deal with the issue. Never attempt to resolve an electrical or plumbing issue on your own, unless you have the skill, tools, and experience necessary. Contact CroppMetcalfe if you need a professional for the job.
5 Possibilities for Hearing a Vibrating Noise in Wall
1. Bad Electrical Outlet or Light Switch
An intermittent buzzing sound in house could be due to loose or insecure wiring to your wall outlets or light switches. If one of your wall outlets wasn’t properly installed, has come loose, or is simply old, it can result in a buzzing sound in your wall. If the screws fastening the wires to your outlets or light switches are coming loose, it can cause some vibrating noises.
Additionally, you may notice a humming noise in walls at night if your wall outlet is being forced to work harder than it was designed to. Electrical issues like these must be repaired as soon as possible to prevent any shocks, sparks, or electrical failures.
2. High Air Pressure
If you’re hearing a humming noise in walls at night, it could be due to a half-opened vent. If your air pressure is on high and you have a vent that isn’t fully open, it can cause irritating vibrating noises. This is a harmless issue that can be resolved by lowering your air pressure or fully opening your vent.
3. Water Hammer Effect
This effect explains what happens in your home’s piping when the water hits against a valve that shuts off quickly. For example, in residential homes, it’s normal for toilet valves and faucets to be turned on quickly and shut off quickly. This causes a vibrating noise inside your walls as the water slams against the closed valve. While this isn’t necessarily a problem, the sound can get annoying. You can have a professional plumber install a water hammer arrestor on your pipes to reduce the water-slamming noise.
4. Humming Light Bulbs
Fluorescent light bulbs and fixtures are known to make humming, buzzing, or vibrating noises. If this is the culprit behind the vibrating noise in your walls, then you can upgrade your light fixtures to LED bulbs.
5. Pest Infestation
If you hear a buzzing sound in your home, check for any signs of pests or bugs, such as bees or wasps that may have found a home inside your walls. If you end up spotting a bee or wasp infestation, it’s important to call a professional pest control service to resolve the issue so you protect yourself, your home, and any bees.

However in people with strong 'visual ears', even abstract motion or flashing can evoke sounds. For example, I 'hear' car indicator lights, flashing shop displays, animated adverts on web-browsers, lip-movements, and the footsteps of people as they walk.
I am currently investigating a little-known form of synaesthesia, whereby visual motion or flashes evoke faint auditory sensations. I have a personal interest in this, because I experience this phenomenon myself.
By now, most people have seen the ‘jumping pylons’ gif, which evokes juddering sounds in many people. This sound is probably driven by the expectation of something heavy hitting the ground, in combination with the camera shake effect.

However in people with strong ‘visual ears’, even abstract motion or flashing can evoke sounds. For example, I ‘hear’ car indicator lights, flashing shop displays, animated adverts on web-browsers, lip-movements, and the footsteps of people as they walk. It is a clear auditory sensation, mostly in my mind’s ear, though sometimes I can confuse it with real sounds if the latter are very quiet. The sounds are like white noise (‘sshhh’), but often they have different harmonics, especially when there are sequences of flashes. For example alternating flashing beacons on either side of a zebra crossing might sound like ‘shiii’, ‘shuuu’. It’s interesting but it can get pretty distracting, especially at the end of a tiring day. I have now met quite a few people who experience this too, so perhaps I’m not completely bonkers!
The demos below simulate (very crudely!) the kinds of sounds that might be experienced. I have added sounds, generated by measuring the motion energy from the video frames (how much light is changing over space and time) and using that to modulate white noise. The result only resembles very crudely what I typically experience, but enough to give an idea.
My research so far has made three main discoveries about this phenomenon, which I call the visually-Evoked Auditory Response (vEAR, or visual-ear synaesthesia):
