What is the source of the pulsating/vibration noise in my flat?

If it’s not too much trouble, you could isolate each of your circuits in your consumer unit until the noise stops.... narrow down the suspect equipment

Just to clarify for the original poster - by isolate he means switch off the related circuit breaker.

Do not go disconnecting any wires!

Any electrician will know exactly what you meant. But having done remote support for folk that were (on paper at least) in "skilled (electrically speaking)" category you learn just how strangely others can interpret your instructions. And how wrong they can be.

At least until the point when you tell them what they can do with the telephone and a tub of Vaseline. They usually understand that bit!
