That's the title of a manual I was given some twenty years ago, an official publication of some electrical association or other. (I can't locate it at the moment.) Two things however remain indelibly imbedded in my mind. "Pole bangers" are the guys who are sent out with heavy mallets to, yes, bang on high-voltage towers to shake up the connections and stuff, leading to lower noise etc. And then after relating all the various noise sources that can appear at the user end of the distribution chain, this unforgettable conclusion is reached: "And so the worst noise contributors are found to exist within the range of 15-15000 Hz."
Ouch.
