Doorbell buzzing

[rihill]

My 27 year old doorbell started to hum & buzz all the time. Replaced it & the push button and the doorbell still hums & buzzes. Replaced the transformer and the doorbell still hums & buzzes. What else could it be?

Yes, there's a rubber washer on the connection under the transformer.

Is that Hums and Buzzes instead of ringing?

Or does it hum and buzz as well as ringing and it's the buzzing that's annoying?

It's not ringing and the buzzing is definitely annoying.

the humming will be from the transformer ,end.or Wire stripper. Doorbell button. A humming doorbell is a common problem that is easy to fix. Since the button is used so often, it can get damaged or partially stuck in the contact position. The humming is usually caused by the button being stuck in the contact position.

Post #8 provides the reason for this.

It buzzes even if the push button isn't hooked up.

Whether or not the push button is wired, the doorbell buzzes when the power is turned on.
