The hun you are hearing from that box isn't from EMFs. It could be a lot of things though. A common one is a high pitch hum from transistors. That can actually indicate that they're wearing down (kids can hear this the best. So ask them about a high pitch noise from an old TV. They'll think it's normal). A low hum could be something mechanical inside. Or is could be some kind of resonance. Hard to say what they are, but they aren't EMFs.

Magnetostriction is what makes transformers hum. The magnetic field changes the shape of the material turning it into a sort of loudspeaker.
