I think you'll find that most power companies will respond fairly 
soon to a 'noisy' transformer.  From what I was told by a power company 
official, a 'noisy' transformer is a failure getting ready to happen.  
Not only could the power company open up a can of worms if there
was a problem with loss of property or life from a failure that was 
known to be imminent, but I'm sure a 'noisy' transformer is not as
effecient as a correctly functioning one.  Also, the cost of rewinding
a transformer before it blows and damages the core is considerably less
than after the failure.
