Please post system components, operating system and more info about when the HUM occurs.My little Shuttle XPC has an aluminium ("aluminum" for Americans) case and it sometimes makes a humming sound due to the case resonating with the hard drive or fan or something. I find that just pressing once with my hand on the top of the case stops it for DAYS on end. Or I can put something weighty like a 50 stack of DVD-Rs on top of it.
Instead of stack of DVDs....

Do you only NEED 6 bags for a small hum?1 BAG for EVERY "m" in "hum"...
humm = 2 bags
hummm = 3 bags....My external hard drive hummmmmmmmmmms a lot when on.
I leave it on a cushion.

Has this always happened?
