Dimmer switches, electric blankets, TVI, goldfish bowl oxygenators,  
garage doors...the list of things which can cause noise is endless.  
Also could be a transformer on a nearby pole courtesy of your local  
electric company. First thing I would do would be to use a portable  
in and outside the house the next time the noise comes on to see if  
you can track the source. I am sure others on this list can  
contribute here.

I have the air core version and it's pretty good. It lacks a variable  
gain control which has only proven to be a problem with nearby strong  
locals (KKMO-1360 5kw 1 mile). However, I don't think they are being  
manufactured any more.

Good luck.
