The hum is not loud, but it is noticeable when I stand next to the unit. If I put slight pressure on both sides of the unit with my hands, the hum seems to go away (maybe damping?). I know the unit did not make a humming noise when new because I watched it closely for several days to ensure no issues.
Could be fan noise, mechanically coupled to the chassis?
You could look at the fan speed and temps after startup, and then again when you start to hear the hum. You could also try changing the cooling mode, and see if that changes the symptom.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check the logs and the fan/temp. I thought it could be the fan but didn't think of a way to check it. Guess I was tired -- it was late. I do have the unit set to Cool; I think I'll try Balanced or Quiet to see if it makes a difference. Thanks.
