Humming noise

We have an 2017 27 DSRL that has a humming noise coming frim he TV area. I’m hearing impaired but wife has good hearing and drives her crazy.

The hum is not constant but she says it sounds like electrical crickets. I turn fridge off and still was humming so not the fridge. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks in advance.

Could it be the fan in the fuse box? If you have a lot of electrical items running it will kick on.

Didn’t know the fuse box had a fan. I’ll check it out.

Thanks

First off, sometimes annoying the wife is a good thing.

To help narrow it down I would suggest operating off battery only and seeing if the noise is present. If so, you are looking for something 12 volt related. If no sound then try plugging in.

Not sure what is in the TV area. Maybe it is the TV itself. Can always unplug it to test.

Unplugged 120 and noise went away. Plugged back in and noise stopped for about an hour then came back. Comes and goes randomly. For instance the fan for the range was on, and as soon as I turned it off wife said it came back on.

The mystery continues.

As someone already stated, it sounds like your converter fan.

Pretty sure I don’t have a converter in my unit. Isn’t that a unit that convert 12 volts to 120.

No, that's an inverter. The converter changes 120vac into 12vdc.

Would the converter go bad prematurely if a person like me keeping the trailer plugged in 24/7? My thought is to keep batteries charge and in good shape. Newbie to the rv world and learning much from this forum.

Thanks

I asked the same question quite awhile ago. Folks a lot sharper than me said no problem. I have had it plug in 24-7 ( when we’re home ) and haven’t had any issues. I’m still using the original battery ( 4 years old ). Make sure you keep an eye on the battery water level and use distilled water only.
