We recently converted to gas from oil. My wife feels a vibration and hears humming. Moist of the time it is random, but enough to prevent her from falling asleep. One morning she was woken up at 4:30 am. We turned off the boiler at night (for a week) and even unplugged the refrigerator overnight. The utility company checked the meter and pressure regulator. The vibration and humming continue even with the meter disconnected. The other day we had a power outage for 1 1/2 hours. I told my wife to lie in the bed. She still felt it and heard it. They are laying pipe all over the area. I'm guessing it's the lateral on our property leading to the meter. I think when they purge or gas is in demand, it causes the vibration. I think our brick one story ranch, with hardwood floors, is incompatible with gas. She hasn't had a good night's sleep in a month. I think we are switching back to oil and having the gas turned off at the street main.
