Mine never vibrated and/or hummed. I cleaned mine out really good with brake cleaner and lightly oiled it which sort of solved the idle problem. After a few years (4?), while on a trip, my idle shot up to 2500 to 3000 and would not come down at all. A new idle control valve from Bus Depot solved the problem. This one vibrates and hums. In order to cover the last 500 miles home, I plugged the valve and hose that goes from the valve to the air intake.
