I'm not familiar with this meaning of the word hum though.

A strange clue. Even if 'hum' is a misprint and should, maybe, be 'lull'.

Thanks shooty- I can't find that meaning for hum in my dictionaries
eg http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hum

One of the definitions is 'feverish activity' which is the opposite of what is intended here.

The nearest I can find is "to utter an indistinct sound, as in hesitation; hem"
