OK, you have a bad connection somewhwere in your 240 volt circuit, which 
is loose and arcing.  Some component in your amp is buzzing in response 
to the rapidly fluctuating 240 vac -- there's no arc inside the amp, so 
your friend couldn't find any signs of arcing.  Maybe even a relay is 
buzzing.
