When lots of houses lose power, the problem is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the energy company to deal with, and there's very little we can do about it.

Buzzing sounds from the breaker box are another indication of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can trigger a fire. To some individuals, that might sound more like a humming noise.
