Electrical humming noise from furnace

I have a ruud high efficiency furnace that's 6 years old. Yesterday I noticed a faint electrical hum coming from it, even though the heat is off and the fan wasn't running at the time. I've never noticed this sound before.

The fan is set to run 50% of the time, and the filter was changed a few days ago (every 6 weeks). The digital display on the board shows 0.

The sound seems to be coming from the transformer at the top of the board pic. I can't be 100% though

Is this normal and I just never noticed before, or should I have it check out? What might cause the hum?

Put your Cornerstone LMS skills to work for disaster relief -- volunteer LMS admins needed

This is a little bit of a different post than this group usually see's, but I figured it was a good place to ask.

If you currently work, or have worked, in L&D operations and spend your days inside an LMS, this might be a great way to use those skills beyond your 9-to-5.

The American Red Cross is looking for a volunteer Cornerstone LMS Administrator to support our Disaster Cycle Services (DCS) team. 

DCS is the heart of what most people picture when they think of the Red Cross. We're the people who show up after a house fire to help a family get back on their feet, or who coordinate shelter and relief during a major flood or storm. That work doesn't happen without a well trained, ready workforce, and our LMS is how we build and maintain it.

The Red Cross is a community organization at its core. Our disaster response workforce is made up almost entirely of volunteers...neighbors helping neighbors. When you keep our LMS running well, you're directly supporting the people on the ground doing that work.

What you'd be doing:

  • Managing and uploading content (web-based training, Events, Online Courses, Curricula, Videos, Tests)
  • Testing new functionality ahead of Cornerstone quarterly releases and providing feedback
  • Creating and managing Groups
  • Importing training records
  • Troubleshooting issues for admins and learners
  • Building custom and recurring reports to support field training needs

Time commitment: Roughly 15-20 hours per month, though it varies based on what's in flight.  There are plenty of opportunities to do more as well.  

Who we're looking for: One of two people with hands-on Cornerstone experience, ideally in an admin role, tech savvy, and organized. You don't need to be a Red Cross expert, we'll handle the orientation. You just need to know your way around the platform.  

This is a fully remote volunteer role. If you're interested or have questions send me a DM.

Thanks
