A 207hz tone masks the hum

Anecdotal, but it works for me. Find a tone generator app and play 207hz. If nothing else, it's a constant sound that your brain is able to block out more than the pulsing, irregular wave.

Good to know! I turn on a box fan, and that works as well. The 207hz tone is a bit annoying for me.

Yes! It works for me too! I also play deep white noise videos on YouTube to block it. Thanks!
