I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT BUZZING NOISE FROM MY HEAT PUMP, HAD AN ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE CIRCUIT BOX AND REPLACED BOTH BREAKERS: AIR HANDLER AND HEAT PUMP, AFTER 2 WEEKS, STILL HEAR THE INTERMITTENT BUZZING NOISE, WHEN THE HEAT PUMP IS ON.
Take a look at this YouTube page that explains with good videos what are some of the common problems with heat pump noise. The one that seems dominant is the defrost cycle a heat pump goes thru when it melts ice off the evaporative coils. In defrost cycle, The compressor runs but the cooling fan does not, so you will hear a loud buzzing sound and the unit sounds like it is stalled...because only the compressor is running to generate heat to melt coil ice.
