I can't honestly say that what they did was intentional. However, I had the city power crew working daily for nearly a month, going thru the entire distribution line in the neighborhood. They even piggybacked my distribution network to another one, eliminating my transformer. When all was said and done, they pulled my neighbor's meter and the noise went away. This was repeated many times just to be sure, we know it was THAT house. The city crew foreman knocked on their door and spoke with the lady of the house, explained everything, and told her the noise was pinpointed to HER house. She quickly replied: "We've been here for 5 years and haven't changed anything." She then slammed the door. So, even tho it may not have been intentional, she was aware of the situation and refused to talk about it or investigate. I didn't even have the opportunity to tell her that I would pay for the repair or the fix for the problem. Then I contacted the owner of the house. That did not go well, either. I was left with no choice but to file a complaint with uncle charlie. Believe me, it was the last thing I wanted to do and it took me two months of thinking before I acted. But, I finally did and made it as formal as I possibly could. The problem with informal complaints is that you have no way to follow the progress. The do not send updates or let you know anything, so all I could do is wait. Well, nearly 6 months after filing the complaint, the noise disappeared. BUT, I have no idea why. If it WAS the FCC, I'm home free. If not, well, it could return tomorrow.
