When I hum it means I'm happy. I suspect that's not the case with your alternator, however. I'm stumped.

What do you mean it's humming? Like, just sitting there when the car's not running it makes noise?

Wow interesting with the engine off. I know with the engine off but the ignition on the throttle body makes some noises and the fan of your hvac will too but the alternator while not running. Does it humm still now being out of your car. If it does it's haunted and I WANT IT! lol
