Best Answer

Contactor chatter can be caused by a broken shading ring winding on the pole face of the contactor. Low voltage to the coil can be another reason for contactor chatter. A constant hum on a contactor will be caused by misalignment to the two pole faces. Check for rust building up on the two surfaces.

What causes the buzzing sound of honeybees?

A honey bee's wings beat 11400 times per minute (180 beats a second) causing their buzz sound. I think the answer should be: Quote: "The buzzing sound is heard when the bee makes the air vibrate in some way. It used to be thought that the movement of the wings caused the sound. However the bees can buzz even when the wings are at rest. So it is probably the vibration of the muscles in the thorax causing the thorax to vibrate that makes the buzzing sound." From the website: http://www.bumblebee.org/faq.htm The wings of the bee make up less then one percent of the buzzing sound. The noise almost entirely comes from the bee breathing through its fourteen spiracles across its abdomen. This applies to all other buzzing insects, blue bottles, hornets ect.
