| All my LED clocks are silent. Is it just a clock or does it also have a radio? At times, I've accidentally managed to turn on the radio and if it's not tuned in to a station and the volume is rather low, it makes noise like you describe. |

Is this for a school science project?  |

Replace the largest electrolytic capacitor in the power supply area with the same specs. Voila! - No more hum!  |

I don't have the best hearing, but this thing is louder than a lot of microwave ovens....
Does your microwave go off every morning when it's time to get up? Maybe it's time for new glasses to? |
