I'm reading in a book the following sentence:
"This house is rarely silent - it's as though a faint hum reverberates from within walls..."
Can you explain the meaning of it in other words?
Thanks in advance :) mean?

A low, faint humming sound can usually be heard from this house.
It's phrased in a way that I think it's supposed to be spooky, but actually all houses with air conditioning, heating, computers etc. will have faint humming sounds. 😁 If it's in a book, it's probably implying that the sound could be something nefarious. Or that something bad might have happened if it is currently silent.
