Can you please login and edit this to say exactly what type of light fixture you have on your hall ceiling? That might help you to get an even better than the one below, which is very good considering how little information we were given... If the buzzing is coming from a light fixture, it could be that the light fixture has a BALLAST and some BALLASTs do hum somewhat, sometimes loudly when they go bad.

If the noise is more like eggs frying on a pan, (with sizzling sounds) then you may have a dangerous electrical condition that could start a fire called an arc-fault.

If this is the case, the power should be turned off right away and investigated by a licensed electrician.

Why do I hear a high pitched constant buzzing sound since my mother died last week Anyone around me hears it.?

TinnitusFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(Tinnitus (IPA pronunciation: [tɪ'naɪtəs] or ['tɪnɪtəs],[1] from the Latin word for "ringing"[2]) is the perception of sound in the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound(s).Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping.[3] It has also been described as a "whooshing" sound, as of wind or wavesGreat answer above! However, I sometimes can hear this high pitched buzzing from one of my ears to the other, like if the "sound" would pass through my head, leaving the first ear partially deaf as the sound slowly goes through to the other ear, to then disappear. it usually lasts a few seconds. I've no idea what this is. Maybe I'm sensing some sort of energies around me, I don't know. Then there's this other kind of, this time constant, buzzing that I hear at night, when totally relaxed just before getting asleep. I would describe it like a very high vibration from within my head. I could hear this buzzing ever since I can remember. Those with the same symptoms, please, share.
