Ha! True. The tough part there is in knowing exactly what is getting turned off/on. Sometimes it seems like an outlet in one breaker actually belongs to another one. It'll be a bit of a chore depending on how detailed I want to get smile But you're absolutely right. This might be worth the effort alone.

I'm still really curious as to what it is. It *sounds* like a pump of some kind to me. But you said you were sure that your house doesn't have a pump to keep the water pressure up on the third floor.

We don't have anything for water pressure, but we have a valve in the wall for our shower. It's an electronic one that's controlled by a digital panel. I've never fully eliminated this valve as a suspect, but I know exactly where it is in the wall, and if I put my ear directly next to it the sound isn't any louder.
